Keep Friends Close At Christmas Is Finished

I put the final stitches into this last night. It needs a good wash and iron but I was keen to post a pic. Here it is:

• Name of the design is "Keep friends close at Christmas" without the wording
• Chart is designed by Ursula Michael for Imaginating
• Fabric is "snowflake frame" 28 count lugana from sunny dyes fabrics
• Thread is DMC cotton
• Stitch count is 100 x 151
• Started on November 22nd 2012
• Completed on January 15th 2013                                                      

I'm now starting on this design:

It is part of a monthly freebie challenge on the message board at 123 stitch. Every month, one of the members - Honeybee - will post a link to a small free design to stitch in any way you like. At the end of the month we all post pics of our different finishes, then we can add them to a picturetrail album I set up. Therefore I'm keeping the details of what fabric and threads I'm using to myself until the big reveal!

Oh, and it's my son's birthday today - he turns 11. Have a great day baby!
