NEW Contest – Stitch the Reindeer In Your Favorite DMC Thread!

Posted by admin on Thursday, November 10, 2011

I have some awesome news – my DMC pals and I are turning the Reindeer Stitch Along Pattern into a contest!

Oh yes, my stitching friends… It’s time to stitch and win something really nice – and all you have to do it stitch along, using your favorite DMC Floss 0r combination of DMC Embroidery Threads.

The reindeer pattern can be found in Tuesday’s blog, and stitch in any size on your favorite embroidery fabric in basic embroidery stitches.  Use your imagination when stitching the simple design.

You can stitch the outline, fill the shape completely or add decorative elements like beads and bells. If you want, adapt the reindeer to a different technique. Just use your imagination and make it special!

Here’s my project-in-progress (above right).

I’m going to add some decorative stitching to the body of the reindeer, and I’ve used some decorative surface embroidery stitches in the saddle so far.

The most creative use of the pattern and stitches will win the prize, chosen especially for the Holiday Season - a Limited Edition DMC Bamboo Bobbin Chest.

Entries need to be emailed to me no later than December 1st (please keep the file size under 2 mb).  I’m looking forward to seeing the creative things you all do with the reindeer.

Meanwhile, go ahead and drool – it’s a pretty sweet prize…
