I've been stitching on a little bit of everything this week. On January 1, I watched the Kathy Schmitz video for her 2024 SAL, and worked on the little January design. It didn't take long to embroider this section.
It's very tempting to go right on to the February design, except that sort of defeats the purpose of a monthly stitch-along! The video had some helpful tips for some of the sections that I did use, too.
So, instead, I finished up "Home," into a little birdhouse wall-hanging! This measures 11 x 14, and will probably hang on the side of my fridge sometime closer to Spring. (Right now there is a snow family design hanging there!)
And now I've gone back to the Winter Tree Sampler that is close to being finished. You can kind of see that there are snowflakes here and there - it's a light snow, lol! Just a few more to stitch!
Today I'll finish those up and then start something new - but what will it be?
I'm not sure yet, but I know it will be something fun!

Such a cute little bird nest wall hanging! Your little samplers stitch up quickly and make great bowl fillers. Hope you find a fun project to work on while you wait to do the February stitchery
ReplyDeleteYou've got some fun projects in the works. Looking forward to seeing what new thing you start.
ReplyDeleteI adore how you finished Home. What a great idea! I love that stitch along, but I must refrain from buying anything new. I have no more space to put it. Enjoy your stitching!
ReplyDeleteI love seeing how you finish off these cute stitcheries. Enjoy the new start today.
ReplyDeleteOh my gosh! Such great projects!
ReplyDeleteWhat a pretty finish! The SAL embroidery is really cute. Is the sampler one of Melisa's patterns? Looks like Sunday Funday!
ReplyDeleteI like the skinny tree! it is cute
ReplyDeleteI like how you finished the home wall hanging, perfect for a little nest stitchery.
ReplyDeleteGreat finish to the HOME wall hanging. I am still waiting for my Woven Wreaths to arrive. Maybe this week. Happy stitching!
ReplyDeleteNice work on some lovely projects--
ReplyDeleteI got my snowman stitched up too--now this morning I am thinking though--that I want to add more color to mine that just the blue--and have picked out about 6 colors to order---but am still thinking on it--I do love some color in my quilts--soooo?????
hugs, di
I love the Home wall hanging, I finished stitching my snowman and wanted to keep going too. Happy Stitching
ReplyDeleteLove the snowman for the SAL. Will you cut them apart, or use the whole completed panel? It will be interesting to watch this project take shape. I like watching other peoples SALs. So many great ideas and pretty projects.
ReplyDeleteAnd your 'bird nest in a bird house' wallhanging is a perfect match of embroidery to setting!
It would be hard to wait until February to stitch the next pretty. The snowman is sweet. A year of sweet embroideries in that fabulous panel is going to look wonderful. Love that printed panel. The little bird nest looks terrific made up into a wall hanging. I suppose it won't be long until the winter stitchery is replaced with the sweet birdhouse.
ReplyDeleteThe 'Home' WH is so cute. Love your snowman stitchery and tree cross stitching too. Such fun projects.
ReplyDeleteThat looks like a fun SAL with Kethy Schmitz! I can see why you wanted to keep going! Your Winter Tree sampler is close to being finished. You are moving along well with needle and thread in 2024 already!
ReplyDeleteHi Diann! I'm happy to see you working on snowmen because you inspired me to make a snowman yard flag/wall hanging. I love doing that slow stitching in the evenings . . . so thank you for that! Sounds like a fun QAL. Enjoy. {{Hugs}} ~smile~ Roseanne
ReplyDeleteMe too! I am enjoying the project and incorporating Kathy's suggestions and tips!
