There are stitchers who choose one project and faithfully work on that project until it is finished. I am not one of those stitchers. I flit from one project to another, I either make a mistake and am to lazy to correct the mistake or I get distracted by another project.
Weeks Dye Works fibers is not one of my favorite fibers. This is stitched with two strands, my stitching advisors did not recommend stitching with two strands. Lesson learned.

There is something about red samplers! This is a fun, fun stitch and don't you just love the font of those capital letters? Yes, that break in the border is where I made a mistake, but I love stitching on this sampler I will correct the mistake and be back to her. The more I stitch on this sampler, the better I like her.
Can't wait to get back to those capital letters!

This is the third stocking from the Blackbird Designs book, Home for the Holidays. I have two of the five stockings stitched and have big plans for them. Hope I can get the other two stitched and fully finished for Christmas 2020.
My basket of shame has more than enough projects to keep me busy for 2020 and the Nashville Needlework Market starts March 6. I have been stalking Instagram, Facebook and webpages to get a glimpse of what is coming and it looks like the designers have outdone themselves with more great irresistible designs.
All these design are stunning, I am one who stitch's one design at a time, I just cannot have two going at once.
ReplyDeletehave a lovely week.

I love Ann Wright! What threads are you using? I do not like the original base of Weeks Dye Works but the Zweigart base is wonderful! I only stitch with one thread on 36 but I prefer a delicate/less bulky look. That's one of the things I like about stitching - we can put our own spin on things!
ReplyDeleteI think creative minds have a tendency to flit about, don't you? ;)
ReplyDeleteThat being said, my Mom was one of those quilters who made one quilt at a time, like your stitching friends. I did not inherit that gene from her.
What beautiful pieces you showcased in your post! I love the font used for the Catherington sampler.
ReplyDeleteJust remember. Flour ground on a grindstone is yummy to eat, but it is the beautiful butterfly we long to see. Flirt away at your heart’s content. 🙂
ReplyDeleteOh, I really love that first one (Ann Wright?) It's funny how we are all different in the way we stitch. I'm definitely monogamous. That doesn't mean I don't have UFOs though. lol!
