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.

.And your roses came out so well, too. [my favorite flower even though they stubbornly won't grow for me here!!]
Talk about win/win January for you !! Good job...

I love that stocking so much, you inspired me to buy it. I got bogged down immediately when I saw the pages of instructions and couldn't figure out where to start. But I'll get back on it at some point! Looking forward to your construction story.
Great work on the roses and the stocking.
The stocking is a great finish! Construction zone at your house!!
