On the eighth day of Christmas my true love gave to me...



Eight maids milking

Shelly Tribbey's 12 Days of Christmas
Double brick for the apron, Rhodes heart for the hearts, double stitch for the dress, skipped tent for the background, reverse scotch for the border, and criss-cross hungarian for the sleeves.  Merry Christmas!

      Thank you. There are beads on the apron in red. The glistening element of the dress is little cross stitches of Kreinik. I like her ribbony hat, too!
