I am currently stitching the 1990 PS Yearly Santa.  I just have his head and hat to stitch and he will be done.   Then I have a whole list of what I would like to stitch in 2022.  I plan on stitching a Christmas ornament every month making sure I start it on the 1st of each month.

Blackbird Designs - Strawberry Fields Forever -

 I have a finish


Designer:  Blackbird Designs
Design:  Strawberry Fields Forever
Fabric:  BeStitchMe 16CT Sandstone
Floss:  Mostly called for but I did make some substitutions since GAST is very hard to get right now.
1st Stitch:  10/03/2021 - Last Stitch:  11/30/2021
For:  Me
Thread substitutions:  GAST Country Redwood I used the DMC conversion 221, GAST Old Brick I used Classic Colorworks Licorice Red, GAST Garden Gate I used DMC 844
I like how it turned out but not enough to send it to Rensel Studio to have it framed.  I just don't want to spend that kind on money on something that I don't love, love, love.  Maybe part of the problem is that I know there are several mistakes in the strawberry vine.
