Prairie Schooler Alphabet Update.......

Seems like I was just here yesterday....

Summer has been passing by slowly but surely
and I can sense fall isn't too far in the distance.
I am ready for it....it is my favorite
time of the year.

Summer hasn't been too terribly busy and
I have a few finishes to share.
Today I will focus on my Prairie Schooler.

I realized in May that I am closer to the end of
my PS Alphabet project than I am to the
beginning and I could start to imagine
a finish this year.   Stitching one a month,
I was slated to finish the 27th design March
2018 but thought it would be nice to
finish by December.  After a little bit
of figuring, I worked out a schedule that
will allow me to finish in October.
I usually can't stick to a schedule when
it comes to stitching but I am amazed that
I have made it two months stitching
one of the letters every other week.

So.....here is what we have so far.

PS "H is for Honey"

PS "I is for Indian Corn"

PS "V is for Vineyard"

PS "W is for Welcome"

PS "X is for Cross Stitch"

  

Here is my progress as of 8-5-2017.....

 It takes me about a week per letter and
I have been alternating weeks since May.
I will be back soon to share some of my
other stitching and finishing!

Thanks for visiting and
happy stitching....

Stitching progress.....

Hope all are having a great stitching month....

I finally decided to start the BBD

Garden Series from this month after

seeing Nicole's beautiful finish.

I started in the bottom right corner which

meant the last one would be the first.

BBD "All in A Row"

stitched on Silkweaver Clay Pebble

with recommended threads

This was a quick sweet stitch but I have

to admit I was a little disappointed

in the colorway of the hand dyed threads.

I know the variegation of the threads can

cause the stitched piece to vary from the

model and I wish I had now changed the

threads to better match by taste.  I will

definitely do that going forward.

After finishing up my monthly PS Alphabet series,

I decided to stitch another in the

Garden Series. I just love the colors in

this one.  I can tell this one will

be a fun one to complete.

 BBD "Fairy Garden"

stitched on Silkweaver Clay Pebble

with recommended threads

Speaking of my PS Alphabet,  I have finished

my next installment and stitched

"F is for Friend".  This was a fun

stitch even with the solid blocks of color.

PS "F is for Friend"

stitched on 40ct linen with recommended DMC
