IHSW and a finish


This past weekend was the first IHSW of the year, I had a four day weekend and had visions of hours and hours of uninterrupted stitching dancing through my head, it wasn't uninterrupted nor was it hours and hours, but I did get a fair amount of stitching in.


I do have one non-IHSW project, Just Nan's Christmas Elegance was on the frame from last week.

Before
Just Nan's Christmas Elegance
Stitched on 28-count white linen with DMC

 The next two projects are IHSW projects and this one is a finish and my first finish of 2013:

Little House Needleworks' Pine Tree Inn
Stitched on 28-count Silkweaver's opalescent Desert Sky with DMC
On the frame this week is The Drawn Thread's Summer into Autumn I probably jinxed myself by putting the year on this one, but I made such good progress this weekend and have today off that I am hoping to be close to a finish by this evening:

    Beautiful classic projects. Is titched that DT piece about 15 years ago. I love it, such fun stitches.

    Hello

    Just found you through IHSW.
    Your stitching is beautiful especially the Just Nan, she's one of my favourite designers.

    Sweet finish too!
