January Stats and a Big Finish

Happy Monday, Friends!

I hope you had a great weekend. 

I was just beginning to get over a head cold when the construction began on our upstairs floors and the dust took over...

 

The construction story will have to wait.

 

In January, I stitched 7,088 stitches on two projects. Slacking, I know, but between being sick and the construction, it was the best I could do.

 

Of the 7,088 stitches, I started and finished the English Rose Sampler, which I shared about previously.

The remainder of those stitches were part of the Witching Hour SAL which I will share with you on Wednesday. The Witching Hour Wednesday posts were delayed a week because Gary and Ronny needed to push their zooms back a week and I prefer to keep the SAL assignments the same as the zoom dates.

The big finish is Olga’s Autumn Stocking

The stitch along was to begin December 1, 2023 and end December 1, 2024.

 

Olga’s Autumn Stocking

Started: 12/1/23

Finished: 9/4/24

Fabric: 36 count linen by R&R Reproductions in the color Winter Brew

Floss: All the called-for Gentle Art and Weeks Dye Works threads

I had a very specific idea in mind for the final finish and knew I wouldn't be able to do it myself. I reached out to someone who would be able to help. Vonna at The Twisthed Stitcher is amazing. She listened to what I wanted and said she could do it.  She did!

This will be displayed year-round...once my house is back in order.

See you on Wednesday for the Witching Hour Update.
