DUCJC : Feb 07-11

Whew!  I am still going on the challenge.  This month I am working on a different WIP each day and trying to make a bit of progress on my larger projects.

On Feb 7, I stitched on Castle Sampler by Teresa Wentzler (15.5"x 14.125" on 27ct. evenweave).  I managed to get some more work done on the border around the castle.

On Feb 8, I picked up "To Everything A Season" Sampler by Sandy Orton (18"x 11" on 28 ct evenweave).  I worked on the 2nd bird & almost got him finished.

On Feb 9, I returned to "Butterfly Forest" (10" x 16" on 14 ct. aida). I worked on the half stitch background a bit more.

On Feb 11, I brought out my "Linen Sampler" (14"x 18" on 25ct linen).  I stitched the medium blue on all of the small flowers and added a bit of green to the leaves.

By then end of this challenge, I will have 59 WIPs! (what!)  But, I am having a blast stitching along with all of the other challenge stitchers & enjoying visits to all of your blogs.

Happy Stitching!

  3. Ah this brings back happy memories for me as I stitched that castle way back in the early 90s when I first started stitching! It was only my second or third project and I had no idea it was meant to be difficult stitching on linen and with blended threads so I just got on with it. It was lovely to see yours, and also all your other WIPs. Butterfly Forest is so pretty!

  12. Lovely projects! I think I like the Linen Sampler the best but maybe I'm just Super Ready for spring! Butterfly Forest also has beautiful colors. :)
