Victorian Christmas Ornament
CROSS STITCH PATTERN READY TO DOWNLOAD, DESIGNED BY Faby Reilly Designs

Here's the Victorian Christmas Humbug, Faby Reilly Designs' exquisite little   cross stitch ornament that you can stitch and hang on you Christmas tree.

A roaring fire glows in the red brick fireplace. Real candles decorate the tree while traditional toys, including an articulated teddy bear and doll pram, lay at its foot.
 
The stitching involves a number of interesting details, such as the delightful striped candy bars obtained by twisting two different red and white threads for a striped effect. The pattern is embellished with myriads of lovely specialty stitches (each with their own tutorial), including Couching, Diamond Eyelet stitches, Spider Webs and even a Triple Cross-stitch. The addition of seed beads, sequins and metallic threads all contribute to the festive feel. 
 
The back of the ornament features the word Christmas cross stitched in beautiful Gothic letters surrounded by stars.
 
Why not stitch the companion to this lovely pattern, the Nativity humbug (sold separately, see bottom of page).
 
The model is in the shape of a humbug and a extensive tutorial is provided with the chart.
