Okay, so I couldn't wait until after Christmas to finish this. I did a lot of pondering and checking out other peoples versions on their blogs (mainly Sally at Salty Yarns and Amy at Threads in Hand) and finally decided on my version. I did change the lettering and spacing, causing me to move motifs around here and there and shortening the chimneys. I substituted the blackbird on the fence with a white squirrel, since my younger daughter lives in Brevard, NC and they are famous for their white squirrels. So, here is A Full Heart by Shepherds Bush (the first of the fold series).
It seemed appropriate to push on and get this finished now since, at this time of year, our hearts are so full with love of family, traditions and the spirit of the Christmas season. If I don't get a chance to blog again before Christmas, I wish all of you a very Merry Christmas, joyous holiday season and healthy, happy New Year!
Thanks for stopping by and your "twisted threads" of friendship!
