As always my final stitch or finish for the Year is for Mark, and this year is no exception. I have stitched and finished Winter Heart by La De Da on 35ct linen, using silk thread by Dinky Dyes, the thread colour is called Shiraz.
The backing fabric is a deep reddy plum colour (very similar to the thread), and I trimmed it with a shop bought ready made tassle that I had, which again is very similar to the thread colour. I was happy with the result and Mark loved it which is the main thing.
Also I would like to take this opportunity to wish Everyone a very Happy New Year, and again THANK YOU ALL for visiting my blog.

Happy New Year! Thank you for your lovely blog, I always enjoy visiting :) What a beautiful heart, that's a lovely design and a stunning finish!!
Isn't it lovely when your work is so appreciated? I often do stitched cards for DH on our anniversary and he loves them too and shows them off to visitors.=) I've also done him 2 graduation cards and 2 bookmarks. Men aren't often easy to stitch for, but he does appreciate it and that makes it worthwhile.=)
