The horse pulling the sled takes you
back to how winters used to be.
I quickly stitched this piece on 32 Count Black
Belfast linen. . The fabric on the back is the
fabric you see in the picture. It is also black
and compliments this piece. I found it really
hard to get a good picture. I am going
out of my comfort zone and trying
different things with stitching. For
years i have been stitching and there
is always something new to try.
I never made my own cording before but
I really like how it matches the finished
pieces.

Just beautiful! Great job on the cording!
That is beautiful!
Fabulous! Well done, we all know stitching on a very dark fabric can be really frustrating! :)
I'm stitching just the horse & sleigh part of that design right now - I've probably stitched it 4 or 5x by now w/ different variations - it's 1 of my favorite freebies ever! Brave, brave for doing it on black, especially such a high count!!! Looks gorgeous!
Looks great! A fine job on finishing too. =)
Lovely finish! I love making cord to match my stitching.
Looks really beautiful. I have downloaded the pattern as well and will stitch it this year.
A beautiful piece. I always try and make my own cording now.
It's so beautifully finished Cindy! I love the black and white contrast!! I still have to try stitching this lovely design!!
Not sure how one "quickly stitches" on black. Yikes! You did a great job, and the cording is perfect.
Thank you so much for the link, I love the pattern.
Lovely finish :)
What a gorgeous finish Cindy!!
Oh, that turned out great, Cindy--I so love how things stitched on black just seem to pop!
Glad you're enjoying making your own cording now--it really adds so much to a finish when you match the cording to the colors in a design :)
Great job and beautifully finished!
Beautiful!!
