I hope you all had a great start to the new year. As promised, here is my finished January sheep blanket. I ordered my threads for the February and March blankets over the weekend at the Stitching Bits & Bobs sale. I’m risking not getting them in time by ordering from them, but I couldn’t resist the sale. I spent New Year’s Day stitching on my Lemon Meringue Sampler while watching the Rose Parade. I must have been watching the parade more than what I was stitching because that brown “vine” was ripped out twice before I finally got it right.

I picked this back up not only in the interest of finishing another WIP, but also because I anticipated having my next RR to stitch on. It still hasn’t shown up, so I will keep stitching on this for now. I hope that I am not going to be too pressed for time to get the RR stitched in order for me to not send out late also. So, I didn’t want to work on anything too involved since I figured I would have had to put it down by now. Oh well.

I haven’t set resolutions for myself this year, other than to continue working on my 101 Things list, continue my workouts and weight loss and stitching more. And in the interest of keeping up with my workouts, I thought I would join Rosemary in her Walk to Rivendell. As of today, I have left Bag End and made it 1.5 miles “following the hedgerows south”. The gym actually wasn’t packed today like I expected. It was only regulars there…we’ll see what next week will bring.

I am grateful for new beginnings.

    Oh dear, I’m getting further behind with my sheepie blankets. You are my inspiration to get caught up! I hope I can do it. I’m still loving that lemon sampler, which is crazy because I’m not a fan of yellow. Hmmm….

    Did your blog template change? I cannot read it well… the brown against the grey is too hard to see… wasn’t it light beige before? The sheep blanket is so cute!

Happy Sunday, friends! This piece was a mystery sa Happy Sunday, friends! This piece was a mystery sampler published in the first five issues of The Gift of Stitching magazine beginning in February of 2006. I started this in 2007 and finally finished it several years later, turning it into a ten year anniversary sampler for Eric and I. I chose my fabric based on what Carol of Garden of Stitches chose for hers. I ran out of one of the Vikki Clayton silks midway through this piece and @senoritastitches kindly lent me some of hers so I could finish (this was pre-Vikki returning to dyeing).
 
I really love this piece with its motifs and specialty stitches, so I wanted to share it for both #xstitchsamplersunday and #saltboxstitcherweeklysamplerpal - @carolfun53 has been doing her #xstitchsamplersunday for about a year now, so I highly recommend taking a look at all the beautiful pieces shared on that hashtag.

For the first Friday the 13th of the year and #dar For the first Friday the 13th of the year and #dark13stitching @eclecticpossessions suggested we work on Tombstone Spots. We started this piece last year on the only Friday the 13th of 2022 and I think I’ve worked on it a couple times since then. Really love this piece and happy to have it out again.

It’s the first of two Friday the 13ths this year It’s the first of two Friday the 13ths this year which makes #dark13stitching extra dark this month. I hope that you’ll join @eclecticpossessions and I by stitching on whatever dark, spooky, gothic stitching is calling to you.
 
What are your stitching plans for this special day?
