I fully finished Friendship Warms the Heart and I think it turned out really good. My corners look so much better than normal after watching a Helen D tutorial.
I finished another small this afternoon. Not a big fan of this one but it will look cute in a spring bowl.
Now I am going to start Plum Street Samplers Fraktur Friends and work on that until February 1st when I will start my next Christmas ornament. I need to kit both of these up and will pull thread and floss for the Plum Street as soon as I finish this post. I need to find a bigger design to stitch instead of all these smalls. I will soon run out of bowl space although since Just Cross Stitch closed last March I don't know where to take my pieces for framing.
This is fresh off the hoops about an hour ago. This will be a 75th birthday present for Sue. I just have to finish it into something.
First - HAPPY NEW YEAR
I have decided to start a Christmas ornament on the 1st of every month. That way at the end of the year I will have 12 ornaments stitched and hopefully 7 FFO'd. I need 6 ornaments for Christmas presents every year so that would put me 6 ahead at the end of the year. I would like to have a couple years worth of ornaments finished in case I get sick or for some reason can't stitch for a while.
Here is my first stitched ornament for 2022.
