Dang it! As soon as I say “Look at me! I’m doing great!”, I’m not doing so great.
Jo from Jo’s Country Junction posted a finish on Instagram yesterday. I don’t believe it’s on her blog yet but I’m sure it will be. The chart is by Teresa Kogut and it’s called Heaven & Nature. I have loved that chart for so long but kept thinking it was just too big for me to stitch but after seeing Jo’s, I’m doing it. I don’t know that I’ll be able to work it into the 2022 schedule. I’m going to put it on the “Alternate List” . . which I didn’t even have until today so . . supposing I finish all 12 of those scheduled projects and need one more! (Stop laughing) Then I’ll start Heaven & Nature. Otherwise, it’s going to be my New Year’s Day Start for 2022.
I almost forgot . . I went ahead and ordered a few skeins of floss. I had almost every color except one but a couple of the colors need multiples and, though I have multiples of a few colors, I didn’t have the needed colors in multiples. I checked my fabric and I have several fabrics that will work so it was just a small order. So, just in case I get to start stitching this one next year, I won’t have to order anything.
How’s that for planning ahead? Right . . not so good. Probably won’t get to start it. Didn’t need to order the floss but I did!

LOL – I have had a cart with several items in it for a couple days that will be my very last order of this year – which is why I haven’t placed it yet. I might find more stuff I need to add to it before midnight on December 31!

Not a design I would choose to stitch – BUT, oh my, I am in love with the trees! But dont think I will buy the chart just for the trees….at least not yet!

That Jo! She’s a real problem 😉 I have 3 more quilts on my to-do list! Yes, she’s had this one on her blog.

I didn’t see the finished picture but I could have missed it. You have to watch out for those bloggers who are always enabling and getting the rest of us in trouble. Glad I don’t do that to my sweet readers! 🙂

…Thank goodness I’m not a huge fan of samplers! Of course I had to take a look and it is very nice but I can pass. Merry Christmas.

I’m sorry. It isn’t showing up anywhere on my end so you’re welcome to post it again. I wish I knew what to do but I don’t.

I have Heaven and Nature all kitted up and ready to start. I just haven’t figured out when that’ll be, maybe February? I was inspired by Jo when she started stitching it, and have been watching her progress all year. She was trying to finish before the end of the year, good for her!

She does awesome work anyway but that one is so pretty. Seeing hers makes me want to start mine NOW but I can’t!
