I'm entering into the holiday season feeling a little relaxed. I'm surprised I have all my gift stitching done! That hasn't happened in a long while! (Although I could stitch a few more things I guess....we'll see). Anyway, I have been digging around in my kitted up stash box and finding things I really wanted to stitch...and I thought...why not? I finished Be Merry and Bright (see the last post) and thought, I have had In Full Glory for ages! I love patriotic pieces (I have quite a few more in my stash so watch this space! LOL) Anyway, though still running around a bit for last minute items, I found time to finish it! Here is In Full Glory by Blackbird Designs stitched on 40 count Natural over two with recommended threads.
While running around in Target last night I decided to run by the frame aisle to see what they had. I have been looking for a square frame for Blessings Be Thine by Blackbird Designs that I finished earlier this year. It took me this long, but I finally found the right size! I'm sooooo excited to show you my fully finished framed piece. This was stitched on 32 count Dirty Linen over one. I really love how it came out...and it's sitting on my mantle as soon as I was able to pop it in the frame!
I'll be stash diving again soon...but I also want to have a finishing day...it's supposed to be a busy weekend for us here at DJ's Digs so we'll see what next week brings. Enjoy the season, stay safe and warm, and Happy Stitching!

DJ: That frame is amazing, it is so hard to find a square frame anywhere.
Both are lovely designs.
It is such a busy time of year.
Merry Christmas

A beautiful frame, it looks perfect. It is a busy time of year but fun too. Merry Christmas 🎄
I've just caught up on your most recent posts DJ. You have been very busy. Such beautiful stitching and finishing. You are so generous with your stitching for others. I agree with your thinking about making time to stitch some things for yourself next year.
Great find for the square frame, you have been organised this year.
