Finally Finished a Finish

I am so pleased with myself :).
My Laundry Room cross stitch is hanging in my laundry room and it puts a smile on my face each time I see it - and it really is hanging straighter  than it looks in the picture.
Many thanks to my dh for attaching a hanger on the back and finding the perfect nail to put in the wall.
I hope everyone is stitching something this weekend.

Merry Christmas and a Finish

Well, I see it's not quite finished - I just noticed the duck  goose on the right does not have a ribbon around her neck.  This is on 22 count fabric but I will always check for 1/4 stitches before I use 22 count fabric again.  I still need to determine how I will mount it on the small washboard that will hang in the laundry room.  This might well be my last finish for 2014.   My list of finishes seems a bit short this year but rather than trying to figure out what I did all year I will just look forward to a more productive 2015.

We are having a Merry Christmas and I hope everyone else also has a wonderful day.

Oh no not another start

I blame DH for this new start.  After another productive day of yard saling, he brought home a small wash board for use in a sink and I immediately remembered that I have been wanting to stitch this chart for my laundry room.  I measured the top of the wash board and determined that if I used 22 count fabric my chart would fit in the little space at the top of the washboard.  I thought how long could it take to stitch such a cute little pattern, right?  I should have studied the chart more carefully before I started because there are a lot of 1/4 stitches, which I have never attempted on 22 count fabric - my eyes are not a bit happy about this latest start so it won't be such a quick finish.  The chart is in the April 1989 Leisure Arts magazine pictured.  The Paula Vaughn cover picture is also on my to do list.

Have a great month of happy stitching.
