Santa's Labor of Love

Santa's Labor of Love

 It is in treasures in needlework summer 92 and it was produced as a kit.  It was called Santa's Wish List as a kit and Janlynn and Better Homes and Gardens also put it out .  The kits are or at least we're pricey on eBay but I just waited till I could snag the magazine because I like to pick my own fabrics.  I am working on a 16 count aida.... If I did it over again I would have used 32 count something.... There are a ton of 1/4 stitches.   I did one change.....  they called for one of the background colors to be stitches with one thread for a lighter affect but I change the color and used two strands to keep the coverage. 841 was added for that.   this is almost all full coverage so it is a lot of stitches.   So here are some progress photos

Finishes for 2019

This year has been totally weird.  My stitching went down for a bit just because it was super busy around here.  I had a health issue middle of the year which had me in the hospital for almost a week so there was a week of no stitching.  As you can imagine when I got home my house was in need of some serious attention so slower then plus I just felt terrible.  But now I'm back in the swing of things.  Some of these may be repeats but as far as I can tell here's all my finishes this past year.

Right now I've got three projects underway, Cupcake is still going, I'm working on a Santa piece, and a beehive piece both from magazines.... I'll pull that information here in a bit.

So... I think this is all I did this past year:
