A Single Blessing in 2020

My 7th finish for the year is a highly modified Cricket Collection stitched on 28ct Highland by Picture this Plus in 13 days over 2018, 2019 and 2020. Called for colors were used with the exception of a Waterlilies silk  in Cardinal and CC English Ivy. 

I currently have 40 WIPs that, like this project, I feel I have outgrown in some aspects. The majority are on 32ct (my previous preferred fabric) that now is too challenging to stitch on. Others have simply lost their luster. I felt that way about Door Blessing, but was able to convert it to a more vintage feel and now am delighted with it! 

Started when I first began house hunting, it seemed fitting that I finish it the year I finally bought a home! 

The flower conversion was inspired by the Crone after a conversation last night about black peonies!

For Those We Have Lost

Red, White & Blue by the Cricket Collection was started in October 2017 as a Memorial Piece for the victims of the Route 91 Shooting in Las Vegas. Stitched on 28ct Thyme, it took 12 days to complete.

 

 

As the 1 year anniversary draws closer I will be reminded every time I look at this project that we are and forever will be Vegas Strong!

Happy 4th of July!

I wanted to finish Red, White & Blue for the 4th, but alas... 

This Cricket said No! 

Feeling Patriotic

I took a break from sisters birth sampler to sneak in some stars and stripes stitching! The Maiden

Surprising Find

While hunting for supplies to send the Crone I stumbled across a long forgotten project by the Cricket Collection.

 A sense of sadness overcame me, how could I have forgotten a project so thoughtfully kitted?

 All is not lost, for this project may have found me just when I needed it most!

Stitched on 28ct Highland, oh that fabric! The Maiden
