DUCJC Day 7

Today's pick is from the Just Cross Stitch December Issue...
It's called Christmas Treasures by Elizabeth Almond. It starts on page 46. I've decided to do them on sparkly white material.  I have two pieces of Aida and two pieces of evenweave. I'm also using the gorgeous Jodyri Design threads I got from Tiffstitch. Here is where I got today on the 1st of the 4...
I started with the one on the left. I'm using Aida for this one. The thread is called Tulip Gardens. I love how soft and delicate it looks.

The thread and fabric are absolutely gorgeous for this design. Will you be stitching the other three and if so, will you be using the same colour? Think - spring, summer, autumn and winter perhaps? :)

Wonderful choice of thread color. I have never tried this thread but I read about it all over the place. Maybe next time when I order something I will add a couple of these threads.
