Delivery By Skis Christmas Card

Father Christmas skiing his deliveries home, stitched on a blue Aida that stands in for a winter sky. The finished piece slips into the triple-fold card supplied with the kit: position the aperture over the stitching and close the flap, with no sewing or framing needed.

The small size makes this a project you can finish in a few evenings, suitable for stitchers with a little experience who are happy with backstitch and the French knots used for the snow and details. All you need to add is a pair of small scissors and, if you like to keep the fabric taut, a hoop. A Christmas greeting to post or hand over in person.
