A Joyful Finish!

Here's my first JOY finish! This is Joy Squared, from the December 2016 issue of Just Cross Stitch magazine. I stitched it with GAST Buckeye Scarlet on 28 ct. Snow linen from Fabric Flair (available at 123 Stitch). Instead of stitching individual blocks, I stitched the design as a single piece, and I added lots of JABCO buttons.

For reasons known only to itself, the camera isn't reading the colors on this very well. The blue of the fabric is washed out, and the red is showing too dark. But that's the best I can do for today! On to more JOY projects...

    Honeybee, what a stunning finish! I love the Buckeye Scarlet against the blue fabric. I think I might need a bigger notebook.

    All things red look good to me- it looks very festive. I can't believe the whole thing will be upon us once more.

    Oh, I love this, the buttons and stitching it as one piece is such a lovely adaptation. Great job! Mary

    On Needlepoint Nation stash exchange, there is a family of foxes canvas for sale as well as a mini stocking with the word JOY. Just FYI.
