Gigi's Christmas HDF silk floss

This is a design I stitched with a specialty silk floss dyed by Vikki Clayton, owner of Hand Dyed Fibers. The floss is called Gigi's Christmas. The pattern is Christmas Motif Sampler by JBW Designs.

I'm not sure what the fabric is. I found it in my stash. I hope you can see that it has wonderful sparkles in it of pale pink and green. I thought it was quite festive for a Christmas design.

I did a little manipulating of the color so the motifs would be in the red shades and the tree would be in the greens. The color flow on the border, however comes directly off the spool.

Stitching update

I've started on Pelican's Nest by Barrick Samplers. I'm using silk floss from my stash.
And here is my progress on Falling Leaves by Prairie Grove Peddler. Maybe I'll finish it before the Olpics are over??
