Good Heavens, I had promised myself I would try to finish up some of the UFOs I had floating around here, but I was sorting through some stuff and found some things I had kitted up. The first one was Santa Claus is Coming to Town...which was a free SAL offered last year. I attended a retreat last November and was encouraged by my tablemates to kit this one up. It's been sitting there starting at me since November...haha. The pattern is in 4 parts, and when I finished the first part I decided I needed a change of scenery....here is where I left off from Santa...
This is another pattern I had picked up after Market last year. This is called Milady's Posies by Jan Hicks Creates. This one just spoke to me and while I had the pattern, the fabric, I I didn't have the floss suggested. It had DMC but I really wanted to use silks. Oh well, I decided to kit it from stuff in my stash, so DMC it is! I started in the middle then worked my way over to the alphabet. (In case you didn't know, I detest letters...I don't know why but I do...LOL) It's stitched on 40 count Latte by Fiber on a Whim. This one is soooo hard to put down, but I'm beginning to think the stitch count was off (I'll have to check). I think it might be 46 count. It's a challenge when there is a lot of stitching in a small area. But I'll continue on after the lettering is done....that middle part is so pretty!!
The frame I'm using is kind of heavy so it's bothering my wrist. I may have to put it aside and work on something smaller. So...watch this space, I feel another attack of Startitis coming on. Happy Stitching!
