Box of Delights

I am done with my Box of Delights. This is a free chart from a wonderful, talented and very generous lady - Elizabeth Almond. It was a pleasure all the way. Stitched from 26 July to 18 September 2016.

I stitched the chocolates on 32 ct Jobelan. Unfortunately, my evenweave stopped being even somewhere in the process. It's more 33/31 than 32, but who said that the box should be square, they come in different sizes and forms. I only used leftover floss from different projects but mainly DMC variegated and DMC rayon plus silks from Victoria Sampler's Gingerbread House.
If you are interested, I am putting floss numbers below with block by block pictures.

Outline of chocolates, flower motives between chocolates and border are done in Dimensions black floss 18403.
