It also has significant portions worked using the ‘double-running’ or Holbein stitch which we generally associate with blackwork techniques. I’ve adapted the original to feature the gifts from the 12 Days of Christmas – still lots of ‘blackwork’ stitching, plus cross stitches, eyelets, and a bit of four-sided stitching.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan\u003eIt really does have a nice holiday feel and is quite satisfying to stitch. Also included is a ‘mini-sampler’ version which I have shown finished as a berry! Note that this was a retreat project in 2024.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Erica Michaels","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":43177925443646,"sku":"43177925443646","price":19.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0616\/7199\/7502\/files\/a_christmas_band_sampler.png?v=1786290682","url":"https:\/\/wildcactusneedlework.com\/products\/pre-order-a-christmas-band-sampler-erica-michaels","provider":"Wild Cactus Needlework and Framing","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
