SSD-WTC19 Traditional Sled

1” w by 2 1/8” h - 15 stitches w by 30 stitches h

Cross-stitch design “Traditional Sled”
depicts a toy from the Christmas wish list years ago,
and it still reminds us of the Holidays today.
The sled is straw colored,
representing the wood that was used ,and
it is embellished with a glistening gold rope
and red beads at the top of the sled
where the rope is attached and
it has red accents for decoration.

The image is on a pre-finished oval
ready to be finished to be decorative on both sides
(with detailed finishing instructions provided)
and hung as a decoration after a ribbon is
laced through the lace edge of the medallion.
The ribbon provides a unique accent to the motif.

While the design may be stitched
onto the pre-finished oval and used as an ornament,
it may also be stitched onto a small piece of fabric,
or by using waste canvas,
it can be applied to fabric or apparel.
