Another design I stitched in August 2021. I thought it was going to be plain sailing, but I first made a mistake on the tree trunk, and had to re-stitch the house 4 times! I didn't use the DMC suggested in the pattern, but use a very dark browny grey for the bits which were originally in black, and changed the yellows too. The moon was stitched in overdyed thread, but I used a variegated DMC instead. I really like the end result.
The frame is from an old roombox! It was originally painted a faded white, and I gave it a couple of coats of about three different greys and black.
In the book ("Winds of Autumn") this is finished as a little cushion, but since I had this rough-looking frame, which was the right size, I thought I'd frame it instead.
