The Little Match Girl



For a change this is design that does not contain any cross stitches..But a few other stitches have been used.. The design is that of a fairytale, "The Little Match Girl"..It is a chilly winter night with snow fall !..The little girl is trying to keep herself warm by igniting the match sticks she has in her bag ..Stitched about 20 years ago!! Still in very good condition

This is a brownish red place mat on which i have stitched luscious red strawberries, with a few honey bees buzzing around!! Two sets were stitched and have been used as borders for the mat on either side!! Stitched about 3 years ago..I plan to make some jam pot covers and napkin rings using the same design,soon.
