Here is my DT offering for this Challenge:
As you can see this is the 'Three French Hens' from the Christmas song 'The Twelve days of Christmas'.
I love this song and it is, in fact, my favourite Christmas song. I think I have stitched the complete set of 12 at least 4 times and I love doing them. I just have to make sure that I send them to different people each time.
The pattern comes from PinBroidery which is part of Form-a-Lines and Stitching Cards.com. The link is on the right under 'Some Great Sites'.
I have a beautiful version of the song for you to listen to. Just highlight and 'Open link':

And here is a link to Wikipedia where you will find the fascinating history of the song:

I am looking forward to visiting you all - and please leave a comment here as you pass by - if you so wish.
Take care of yourselves.
