A design by Helena Brorhed of Syverkstan.
While I planned ahead and cut and stitched, this project was fraught with set backs.
I use a water soluble pen for all my tracing but the weather has been unseasonably humid here for the past month and the design kept disappearing before I could stitch it.
Then when I had the top together my iron attacked it and I had to restitch the panel with the words - so this little hanging was not finished in time for Christmas giving. She is still part of the present and I shared it with J's mum while visiting on Christmas Eve, where I also did some hand stitching. I am happy to be done and really like the way she came together.
There is nothing wrong with Helena's pattern but as I can be a bit challenged at following the details my version is slightly different from the original design.
Wishing you a friendly Iron in the craft room.
