Fixes
Early printings of Naughty or Nice? have a symbol error on the berry charts. The 'checkmark' symbol is stitched using Oilcoth floss, and should be a bold 'x' symbol.
Also, the straight stitch 'star' motifs on the Nice Berry are worked using one ply of Bee's Knees floss.
Naughty or Nice?
It’s the eternal dilemma isn’t it? I had fun with this one and took it a step further by including berry designs too! In each case, the “nice” portion of the design is lovely and orderly - perfectly suited to the well-behaved person on Santa's list.
However, the “’naughty” side has some issues - and apparently there was a serious situation regarding the arrangement of the holly decorations this year!
