Ski cards
Y
ou’ll want to book
an alpine holiday
by the time you
finish stitching these small yet
detailed skiing-inspired scenes
for cards and tags! Send a
stitch off to a friend who enjoys
visiting the slopes in winter –
they’ll appreciate the way these
designs capture the effect oflight and shadow playing across
the snowy mountain tops.
These scenes would also look
lovely hung up on the wall in
small embroidery hoops. And
if you’re partial to the slopes
yourself, then you could even
take these charts on your next
snowy trip and have a stitchy
après-ski beside a roaring fire!
