Happy Dance!

Design: Peace Sampler by Carol Emmer, JCS May/June 2012 issue
Fabric: 32ct cream Belfast Wichelt linen
Threads: DMC
Start/Finish: 5/29 - 7/21/2012

Big happy dance for the day! I finally finished the Peace Sampler for my aunt. I was determined to finish it this month because I'll have alot of things that I want to accomplish later this month and in August ;)

Overall, I liked the design except for the lettering which meant quarter stitches and backstitching. Not that quarter stitches are hard to stitch or anything just time consuming when everything else it stitched in regular cross stitches.

Until next time ^_____^

A week in stitching!

Cross stitching weekend!

This weekend I made a lot of progress on the Peace Sampler. I don't care much for the lettering throughout the sampler so after stitching one line of it, I skipped ahead and counted down to start the bee motif blocks and alphabet lettering line.

I hope to get this part finished this week if possible ;)

Until next time ^_____^

I wasn't kidding when I said that I didn't have alot stitched on this design. You know what I'm talking about if you've seen the design in that issue of JCS.

Until next time ^_____^
