In Barbara Ana's Dreaming Girl series, here comes Miss Claus!
The design comes in soft wintery colours with Golden star highlights against the blue Winter sky.
The cross stitch pattern lists 11 DMC floss colors and 1 gold metallic from the Kreinik range. It is designed to be stitched on a medium-dark blue/grey, such as 32 count Lugana evenweaved from Zweigart in Colonial Blue.
The design can also be stitched on a neutral colour fabric of your choice such as Belfast dirty linen (326).
A third option is a festive print, Zweigart Belfast grey/silver stars print (7459). It's a slate grey with tiny silver stars printed that will provide a sharper contrast with the snowy white atmosphere and look cute and Christmassy in the background.
Once finished, the design measures 6 1/2 inch x 4 1/2 inch (16.7 cm x 11.5 cm). It can be mounted in a square frame (7" x 7" - 18 cm x 18cm) where the base of the stitching is aligned with the lower part of the frame and there is plenty of space above for the "sky".
Dreaming Miss Claus was stitched on 32 count Lugana Colonial Blue from Zweigart using two strand of DMC over two threads of linen.
Stitch count is 105w x 72h.
