Last night I finished the Blessing Sampler, well before the end of January (but it is fairly small). It’s Only Once by Sweet Wing Studio. I mostly used the called for colors. I did change the white house to a pale lavender and outlined the sides in a bit deeper lavender. The birds were supposed to be white doves but the white wasn’t showing up at all so I made them into blue birds.
Stitched on 46 count linen, it’s 6-1/2″ x 3-3/8″. I’ll probably frame it but I’m not sure. I want to use the bottom of this piece of linen to stitch My Heart My Home so I will get that stitched before taking the linen off the frame. That’s when I’ll decide how I’m going to fully finish it.
I may start it tonight. My rule for 2025 (and you may have to remind me from time to time) is that I have to finish one project before I can start another! So, now that Only Once is finished, it’s ok to start My Heart My Home! Two weeks into the new year and I’m still doing ok!
Today is my stitching day with a friend so I’m taking This is the Day by Plum Street. That’s the only one of my January projects that is on 36 count linen, which is the only one I can see to stitch on without a magnifying lamp.
What are your thoughts?
