I am doing Stitch From Stash 2017A. It is stitching only from what I have on hand and sticking to a budget for the first six months of the year. I have so many things I want to complete this year and I know I have more projects that I will live long enough to finish!
New Start
Ye Old Coffee House, Little House Needleworks
Am doing this with the called for DMC on 28 count Clay jobelan and I love the fabric. Unfortunately, however, the frog has been visiting me on this project so it is really dragging. I am going to change out the heart at the top to a coffee cup.....I am not a huge "heart" fan. I also am thinking about changing the date to the date we moved into our house in Blanco, Texas since that is where I plan to hang it......
Beautiful Sea Sampler SAL, Ships's Manor
I am determined to catch up on the Beautiful Sea Sampler SAL. I am into part four so I am just about halfway caught up! I am doing it on 28 Count Mystic Lugana with the Ship's Manor threads. They are really great colors and I am enjoying it. I cannot wait to be caught up.
Linen & Threads 2017 Mystery Band Sampler
This is a free pattern from Linen and Threads and it looks like it is going to be a year long project. I have a piece of 32 count belfast in Platinum that I am going to use. My dilemma is the threads. It takes about 30 skeins and I am stitching from stash this year. I went through and pulled all the DMC colors that I had over 10 skeins and they are mostly greens, golds and a little brown. I think it would be pretty, but I am so bad at deciding colors I am kind of nervous to start it. I really do not want to fall behind (comes out monthly) so I gotta just go for it! If I use the greens I may put the Evergreen Sampler on hold since it is alot of green.
WIPS
Here is where I am starting this year. No photos as I have not made any progress on any of them. With the new starts that give me about 8 WIPs which I think is plenty for a month or so!
Dancing Deer, Cherished Stitches
Evergreen Sampler, Good Housekeeping Christmas Book
Alice Merryfield, Pineberry Lane
But Happy They, Homespun Elegance
Books Reading Books, HAED
Knot Garden, Chatelaine
Thank you for visiting. I hope your new year has had a great beginning.
Some lovely projects for the year! I think equipped like this, you should have no problem doing the Stitch from Stash challenge. I love your fabric choice for the Under the Sea SAL!
