You may remember that I could not find the container of floss for the New Year Sampler project so I ordered more silks from Vikki Clayton. Some day I will come across the lost container of floss and will use it for something else, though I am not certain that I didn’t add it back to the silk floss stash if I didn’t have the floss container labeled. Since this was one of the first projects I worked on as a beginner stitcher, there’s no telling what I did.
I ordered replacement floss and it arrived yesterday.
This is the design:
It really is not a hard chart. The little motifs stitch up fairly quickly . . most of them will anyway. Yesterday I stitched the apple (to the right of the “B”) and two of the four roses to the left of the C. Today I hope to finish the two remaining roses, stitch the “C” and those two star blocks to complete that top row. Then I will probably put it aside and work on it again maybe towards the end of the week.
Here’s what I have done so far:
I think it’s so pretty and, while I’m not going to commit to having it finished for Christmas, 2025, I would love to get it finished sooner rather than later.

Every time I see that chart I think “how pretty is that!” You are making good progress. I love the mottling in your fabric.

Thanks. I like the mottling too. It’s Picture This Plus but it is 40 count and their fabric is so tight! I usually use 36 count when using PTP but this was from way in the beginning when I didn’t know better. 🙂

-Judy, I have looked up, down, and sideways at this, and I cannot find a 3! Is there one?
It took some time to find some of the letters (yes, I do enjoy puzzles), but found the whole alphabet.

Eagle Eye Rebecca! I would never have noticed that but I saw it on someone’s blog or Instagram and made a note. If you look at the picture of the chart, I’m going to add the 3 just below the apple (in the box) that I stitched the last time I was stitching on it. There is a “zero” down at the bottom right under the airplane and it’s the same as the letter “O” so some people have added the “3” down there since they didn’t know it was missing til they were way past a place to insert it.
I need to go stitch that 3 now so I don’t forget to add it.
Rebecca L says
Haha! I’ll look for it.
I think if it hadn’t been kind of jumbled, I wouldn’t have gone looking.
I have a friend ho says he’s CDO—OCD in alpha order. I don’t identify with that at all (whistling).

I’m thankful for readers like you who let me know know you see that may not be right. By the time I finish stitching, I’m pretty much brain dead to that project. Thank you for being . . oh, wait . . that’s your friend who’s CDO-OCD. 🙂
