I love this pattern - my sweetie bought me this one and the ABC Lessons one, both by Lizzie Kate. I started on this one first because Mike said he liked it better. Both patterns were sold as kits (well, almost kits - pattern and threads, but no fabric) so they came with the overdyed threads. I ran into a little issue along one edge (it's just on the edge, so it won't be a problem), but it let me know I need to be VERY careful. Where the edge of the fabric rubbed up against the red of the letter B, the edge picked up some red color. So - I'm being very careful to put paper towel around my fabric when I'm putting it away at the end of stitching time....hopefully that will keep it from happening on a more important part of the piece.
This week's project is Frederick the Literate. It will be challenging (stitching on black fabric) but I'm okay with that. My Ott Lite and I are good friends!!!
Thanks for checking it out - and, as always, thank you for your comments!!

Looks nice! Good luck with the overdyed.....I've never had one bleed that badly or have to be treated so gingerly. What brand is it??
What a cute Christmas pattern! Looks like a fun easy stitch to enjoy
Love the progress on the new pattern!
Love the colors!! LK has such cheerful designs and colors. I am sure you will finish it in time for Xmas!
Very cute. I am with DH, I think the Christmas one is cuter than the ABC Lessons. What brand of thread is that so I make sure I take precautions too?
