Lots of WIPs!

We have had several busy months and there hasn't been much time for stitching.  It is all great though, precious time with family and friends is always the best! 

I have worked a bit on The Night Before Christmas and also Yvonne Le Clerq 1905. Here are some progress pictures of those pieces:

I recently finshed 2024's Year of Stitches. It is slow going for me. I am not doing a stitch icon for each day, but rather one for every several days of each month.  This is a project I decided to do for fun, but for me it has not been much of a blast! I definitely will not do this again, but I am glad I was able to complete the year 2024. 








I  have also been working on some stamped pillowcases. I find this fun to do when I do not wish to look at a chart. Here are a few views: 











Finally, I have been able to work a bit on Winter Quakers by Rosewood Manor. (Karen Kluba) I love how this one is looking. 









Thanks for stopping by today!

A Few WIPs

 

Happy 2025 to all! I hope the year ahead brings you joy and lots of  happy stitching time. 


Today I am sharing some recent WIPs.  This is "The Night Before Christmas" from theTiny Modernist. I sure am enjoying working on this bright, lively piece. It is being stitched on a 28 count evenweave dyed fabric from Live and Dye in LA fabrics. 




I have also been working on Winter Quakers by Rosewood Manor. I am stitching this with the called for Valdani threads on a 32 count fabric piece in the color of  Dwarf from Picture This Plus fabrics. 



Finally, I have spent some time with Yvonne Le Clerq 1905 from Reflets de Soie. This beautiful piece is coming to life on a piece of 28 count fabric in antique white. I love these colors so much. 


These are my three main counted cross stitch pieces this year, and I hope to have at least one of them done by the end of 2025. 

Thanks for stopping by today!
