DUCJC : Days 1 - 3

The start of a new year and the start to DUCJC (Debbie's Ultimate Crazy January Challenge). 

I am attempting to do this challenge using only materials and kits I have on hand - with patterns I currently own, freebie patterns, or gifted patterns and kits.  The only exception I will make is floss (as needed). 

For Day 1: I selected a cute little Quaker freebie to stitch.   I chose to stitch this in shades of blue and green on 14 ct Aida.

For Day 2: I selected another cute little Quaker freebie to stitch.  I am stitching this one on 18 ct oatmeal Aida with burgandy and dark green vintage floss.

And for Day 3: What? Another Quaker pattern?  This one is called "Simple Blessings" by Sandy Orton.  As you can see, I am stitching this one in red and black instead of all red.  I think it will look terrific.  This is being stitched on 16 ct ivory Aida.

This Sandy Orton pattern can be found in this book:

The Best of Kooler Design Studio 

That's it for my new starts so far.  I will keep my DUCJC 2015 page updated each day and I will add a new progress post every few days.
