2012 FINISH!!!
New year - same old blogger tricks. Here is my vacation project from iStitch - this is Sew Gigi in the HDF custom color Gigi's Christmas. I don't know how I will finish this - but it is lovely in real life - and such a relaxing stitch. I hope you can crane your neck and enjoy the picture!!
And another one day wonder - but this one is completely done. This is Take Joy by Shepherd's Bush - it came as a kit - I stitched the whole thing while watching Russia: Land of the Czars. I had to watch this to put my book on Catherine the Great in historical context. This project fit in a lovely round box. The box is not marked to show the manufacturer - I would love to have more of these - their quality is very nice and the box was affordable. Oh, well, I guess I will just enjoy the one I have.
And then, my Happy Dance already in 2012. This is I Sigh Not for Beauty, stitched in premium HDF on the recommended linen. This was a 2011 SAL organized through Ellen Chester at With My Needle. I can hardly believe I finished this fairly close to the end of the SAL period. I envision having a wall of "classic samplers" - and this will be the first one.

Now I need to go sort through my basket of WIPS to see if there are any other I can knock out quickly, before I go and start an avalanche of new projects - I have no self-control when buying stash or starting projects!
Happy stitching to all, Margaret C

Congratulations on a wonderful sampler finish Marjo!! It's great. My sampler 'wall' is growing at a very slow pace - I am slow stitching these big samplers.
I've been looking at those round boxes you have your SB finish in...they have them in black and off-white at Attic Needlework - so cute. I think they are being sold by Shepherds Bush.
What a nice start to the year! I need to get on the stick and pull out my stitching bag! :D
Nice work on them all!
Oh Margaret, these finishes are wonderful. I love that sampler ...
Congrats on having finished I Sigh. Hope you'll send me a photo for the newsletter.
