#deer embroidery
Merry Christmas season everyone! Unfortunately I didn’t get around to doing much Christmas crafting this year. However, I did manage to come up with at least one project. This is an 18x28″ red cloth. It just so happened on Facebook one day in my “memories” news feed a very old Ukrainian art pic of a deer showed up. “Wow” I thought, that would make a perfect Christmas project. So off to amazing land I went. I popped the pic into my favorite website blockposters.com and made it super big to fit my cloth. Then I taped those 4 sheets of paper together and traced the whole thing onto tissue paper which I then attached to my cloth. The whole thing is nothing but chain stitch done with white Pearl thread (a little thicker than your typical DMC thread). Unfortunately I didn’t note the entire name of the artist on the original pic I had. I just have “Panchenko” so if you’re Ukrainian and you know the artist, please do let me know so I can give their full name. The pic was from a very old book printed in Soviet times. I think it will make a lovely addition to my Christmas table.

No longer winter but early Spring
Hopes melody the bird’s do sing
Branches still as skeletons bare
Begin to reach for warmer air
Buds beginning pink and green
A scene of calm serenity
Underground the forest floor
Nature’s children stretch and stir
As wakeful warmth seeps into earth
Seeds, roots and soil converse
Ti’s time to grow, the sun awaits
The bees are ready to pollinate
So spread our petals, show our colours
Tell the world Spring is upon us!
- Beautiful poem by Samantha Turner
