The Palace of Sweets, a neighborhood store specializing in tempting treats for kids was an actual location in Terry Redlin’s youth. In this romantic artwork reproduction for the counted cross stitch enthusiast, he remembers that nostalgic time and place during the Christmas season. The area homes are gaily decorated. The corner lamppost is a work of art in its own right with wreath, bow and unique strips of twirled bunting. Into this festive scene a wagonload of children on a holiday hayride have stopped for a bit of shopping. “The variety of candy in glass jars was huge,” the artist recalls, “and back then marshmallows were sold in pails. I haven’t seen that for years." You'll work this beautiful yuletide season design on 16 ct fabric with presorted threads; some half cross stitch is used for artistic effect.You'll be proud to display your finished needle art for generations to come!
