Dog Park This IS just a really happy place, and if you love a dog groomer... maybe you should stitch this for their workroom!! The pathway is done with only horizontal and vertical straight stitches - really cool texture on that. 7 x 8-1/2 on 14/28ct. Forest OHHH... it's an Autumn forest... measuring 5 x 13. The pillow it is made into measures 9 x 18... so this could be a fun piece on real furniture!!! The chart is colored, and actually the printed colors are more brown and gray - and they look like a pretty colorway for this as well! Coded for DMC floss. Deck the Halls Finishing 4 x 22 on 28ct with 17 shades of DMC floss, this is quite a different take on Christmas than the familiar red and green!!! Stitch each square by itself, or make the long piece -- vertically or horizontally... so festive!!! The chart inside is colored and HUGE... it takes up 4 pages!!!!!
