Hello stitchers....
This past month has been a good stitchy
one. January's installment of the
PS Alphabet
has been completed and I can
honestly say this was not a favorite.
I dreaded stitching it before
I even started but decided to
go ahead and get it over with....
Prairie Schooler "D is for Drum"
stitched with DMC on 40ct linen
I wasn't thrilled with the design and think that
attributed to my lack of desire to stitch.
I really didn't like that the letter was
at the top, which is the only one like
this. I decided to switch it which meant
a little bit of a redesign but I am happy
with how it turned out in the end.

I decided to carry on with the next installment
for February and have to say this is one of
my favorites. I love the tapestry even
though I did a little unintentional redesign.
Counting is hard.
PS "E is for Embroidery"
stitched with recommended DMC

I was able to get together with some stitching
friends the end of January and decided
this little design would be good for
stitching and talking simultaneously.
Someday this hopes to be a pinkeep.

I also had the opportunity to have a few pieces
framed and glad I veered away from the
brown frames to choose reds.
Carriage House Samplings
"Matter's Choice"
This is still one of my favorite finishes from last summer.
Heartstring Samplery "Three Little Proverbs"
This will be on display as a daily
reminder of the poignant messages.

Thanks for visiting and I am off to stitch!
