January Stitching

 Hi friends! Happy New Year! Let us hope and pray this is a better year for us all. 

I want to share this little finish with you.

🎄🎁January freebie by romyfrees.blogspot.com🎁🎄 I swapped the December and January designs for each other, as Brian and I are Eastern Orthodox, and celebrate Christmas on January 7th. I have completed the entire 12 months now!! I stitched this two over two on 28ct using DMC.

🎄This is my completed Christmas SAL, Orchid Intrigue by Summer House Stitche Workes.

I stitched this with almost the entire skein of the called for DMC 3802 on hand dyed Dublin linen, "Petal Pink" by my stitching group friend, Chris. The fabric you see the pillow lying on, is the backing material. Chris is the one who hosted this SAL, with eight of us stitching along. 💕I am the first to finish. I have only seen one other person's linen, and it is not pink. I am curious to see if I am the only one.

I am now stitching a pattern that will be displayed in the pedestal stand on my bedroom dresser. Once I finish this one for January, I am done with all 12 months for the pedestal stand!! HOORAY FOR ME!

“Humble yourselves, therefore, under the mighty hand of God so that at the proper time he may exalt you.” 1 Peter 5:6

Lots and lots of snow on the ground here. Cold weather here, so it is going nowhere. 

I hope you have a great week my friends! Thank you for stopping by! Be safe! Be smart! God bless you!

Stitching and praying,

Vickie

Since you're not celebrating Christmas until this week, the little ornament suits you really well.
I also like your Christmas saloon very much and you can also use it as a Valentine's Day decoration. With the little hearts it became very sweet.
Have a great week,
Martina

Your finishes are both so sweet! I like how you photograph them on the backing fabric....may 'borrow' that idea in the future! :) Enjoy your upcoming Christmas celebration!

Both your finishes are darling, Vickie! Will you be stitching another monthly series in 2021?

Vicki said...

Two very cute finishes! Stay warm...

Happy New Year to you too my friend. Your Orchid Sampler is stunning:)The backing fabric is perfect. I hope you can post some of the other colors used in your group, I agree it will be fun to see how they look. I guess it just dawned on me you have been working on two sets of monthly designs. The pillows and the little framed pieces. I have enjoyed watching you post both, but for some reason just noticed you had two different series going on. How funny. Stay warm, Spring is just around the corner and warmer days are ahead:)

Happy new year Vickie. Seeing that pillow on the backing fabric I almost missed that darling edging. I was surprised that it took the entire skein. Only had a few projects do that, can't remember which though.
