The question of the month is: What new discoveries did you have in the stitching world this year?
I know this is not "new" but I did buy and download my first PDF chart. I am normally a hard copy chart person.
I did have a finish this month. Let's Mingle and Jingle. I left off the background motifs.
This is stitched on 18ct white opalescent fabric. The sparkle is not showing up in the picture but it does look like the snow in a snow globe. I started this 12/23/20 and finished it 11/3/21.
This month I also stitched on:
Crane Paradise by Pinn
Dandelion Fairy Kingdom by HAED. I continue to work on page 9. I would like to finish this page before year end.
I finished my second Owl. Started 8/21/21 and finished 11/13/21.
And started Owl #3. I need to make all three of these into hangings to give to my brother and his wife for Christmas. The 2 finished owls both have added the name and birth dates of their grandchildren. And I have found out another grandchild will be added in April 2022 so I will get that Owl stitched up and ready for personalization.
These Owls are from Cross Stitch and Needlework September 2014.
I had a new start Possum Song by Mama Witch Cross Stitch. This is the PDF that I bought. Stitching this on 14 ct black Aida. I love the colors. It is a round design and I did not start it on the correct place on the fabric. So I need to rip out all of these stitches (696) and start over. I hope to get it ripped out and started correctly in December.
I worked some more on To Everything There is a Season from Cross Country Stitching June 2011.
And I worked on Hodge Podge Soup from Cross Country Stitching October 2013.
