This ornament features a stylized mid century spaceship carrying Christmas trees from a faraway planet to the North Pole. It is stitched on hand dyed deep blue and purple 14 count Aida fabric. The design uses one strand of Sulky 12wt cotton petites thread over one square (stitched one over one). There are ten colors in the chart. There is backstitching along the perimeter of the flying saucer with two strands of metallic light effects DMC E135. The design incorporates all full cross stitches and the backstitching in metallic DMC polyester floss. Amanda Mae won the Just CrossStitch Magazine’s 2019 Ornament Design Contest with this original design.
