As promised, here is the completed "M'Lady's Strawberries" by LHN, it is stitched on Mocha Quaker Cloth in the recommended Crescent Colours & DMC threads. This is my final finish for 2008 and I completed it about 4pm on New Years Eve.
I think I may finish this into a cushion, I need to hunt out some strawberry fabric first though!
The 1st January was the start date of the Beatrix Potter Quaker Sampler SAL, here is my fabric and floss toss for the project. I spent a bit of time this afternoon, sticking together the 6 sheets of pattern and pressing and hemming the fabric, ready to start stitching.
I heard from Robin at OWS to say that she has mailed out my Huswif kit today, so fingers crossed that should arrive in the next week or so. I am excitied about this project, it will be a challenge with lots of new stitches and techniques to learn and try.I started a little stitching project this evening which should be completed tomorrow, it is for the Stitch & Stash Monthly Challenge, it is a bit of a different design for me, but I like it and I know how I intend to finish this one too.
I have decided to work on larger WIP's this year, rather than lots of little things. I will do the Monthly Challenge, a few exchanges, PIF's & the Monthly Christmas Ornament SAL, I don't want to over commit myself for the first 6 months of the year.
Have a good weekend all and Happy Stitching
Hugs
