Hello stitching friends! Well, I have not been blogging, but I have been stitching! I have finally finished my Historic Countries Sampler from The Gift of Stitching Magazine! After getting very far with it last year it was packed away and 'resting' until I suddenly decided that I wanted to finish it this year. It was great fun to stitch and I am very happy with the result:
It is a bit difficult to photograph the entire piece due to the size (this really is a biggie!), so here are a few closer shots:
It is stitched on 28ct antique white Jubilee with the recommended DMC threads. This is a big one off my ever growing WIP list!
I have also been stitching a few smaller designs and am currently working on an Angel by Joan Elliot, but more on that in the next post.
It seems that Spring is finally arriving - we have had a few sunshine days, but nights are still bitterly cold. It was a very long, cold and wet winter and it is so good to finally see the sun again!
That's it for now.
Happy Stitching!
Michelle
