Summer arrived this month in New Zealand. High temperatures and strong winds. Perfect weather for stitching inside and staying out of the strong sun in the middle of the day.
I have managed to work on a few of my projects from my year of wips choices.
Linen and threads mystery Sal 2019- peacock garden , I managed to completed part 1 the center peacock. I used Dmc thread 3765 for my peacock and stitch him on 32 count linen in Ecru. Looking forward to the next installment.
Red House Sampler - The Sampler company. Stitched on a piece of fabric hand dyed by myself. Its a 32 count. I finished the trees in the middle and worked a lot on the big house. I have finished the red area, but still have the roof , windows and trees on the steps to finish next time. I am using the called for colours.
Barnyard Kitties - Dimensions . I spent sometime working on these little cuties. I worked mostly on the barn frame. The outside edge by the ginger kitten is now all stitched except for back stitch. I also worked on filling in the spaces on the front piece and started up the far side. A little slow going on the back Aida. Can only work on it in the day light.
Dusty Rose - Heaven and Earth Designs (retired chart)
I started on the first page of the middle row of the design. I am using this wip, for the stitches by numbers 2400 event on Full Coverage Fanatics on face book.
I managed to stitch 2809 for the month of January, stating after the 19th of January.

Ems project 2008 - Rose Sampler. I managed to finish the top boarder all the way across. Completing parts 1-3 . The colours I am using for this sampler are Dmc 3685 and 04. It is being stitch on 32 count Ecru Linen. Next will be one of the alphabets.
Peacock Tree - Burda Magazine 1986 . I managed to get the 2 peacocks done in the middle of the tree. This is being stitched on 32 count ecru linen. I am stitching it using Dmc 816. Not sure if I want to work the tree first or go down and work the horses. I think I will work the trunk of the tree, then decide.
French filigree, This is my 1 thread a day project. I managed to work on this everyday. My length of thread is around 18". I have used both the black and dmc 3746. I managed to complete 1 page and move back to the middle of the design. This is being stitched on 22 count Aida.
I also was able to achieve some car stitching this month. I have the prairie Schooler Santa's in my car for this task. I worked on 3 this month. Santa 1987,1993 and 1996 . I completed the stitching on 1987 and 1996 and made good progress on 1993.
I also made a new start for High Tea Sunday. which was the last Sunday of the Month. I chose to start Veronica from Mirabilia. She is being stitched on a piece of 32 count linen, that was hand dyed by myself.
Well I guess I did get a lot stitched this month.
Stitch the things you love
