Holiday Splendor is a counted cross stitch chart from Heaven and Earth Designs for cross stitchers who prefer to use their own fabric and thread. Heaven and Earth Designs create beautiful and intricate cross stitch charts from the artwork of many of today's most talented fantasy artists. This demure portrait is from a painting by Jessica Galbreth who says "Even to this day, I still get that old familiar rush of excitement when I look at a beautiful fantasy painting. It is this incredible exhilaration that keeps me painting my own creations in hopes that I too can evoke these feelings in the hearts and minds of others".
The model for Holiday Splendor is stitched over one thread on 25 count fabric but you can stitch this design on any fabric you feel comfortable with. Do remember, however, that the lower the fabric count, the larger the design will be. With a stitch count of 284 x 370, on 18 count Aida, this project will be nearly 16" x 21". It might look like this design is stitched on a special fabric, but it isn't - you create this amazing effect yourself by stitching almost the whole design area! This is a large cross stitch project that we believe will offer you many hours of stitching pleasure.
Dimensions: 11½" x 14¾" on 25 count
