Chatelaine Christmas Mandala
I've just finished the Chatelaine Christmas Mandala, which is a free pattern available on the Chatelaine website. This one was very fun to stitch, and quite detailed for a freebie! I stitched this on 32 count Antique White linen, using DMC threads, Kreinik metallics, and beads from my stash. I changed the color of some of the beads, and added some additional beads where the pattern called for french knots (I was not about to do french knots with metallic thread!!) so my finished piece looks a little different than the model, but I like the way it turned out. I am planning on finishing it into a flat-fold ornament, but I have some supplies to buy before I can do that.
