I'm so happy to be your host after all these years! Thank you for coming back, for reading my posts, for linking up your posts, and most especially... thank you for all the words of encouragement that you leave for all the slow stitchers! Because stitching is mostly a solitary activity, we do enjoy connecting with others who share our wonderful hobby!
I made a New Year's Eve video to share my plans for a 12 x 12 day, which means you pick 12 projects and stitch each of them for only 1 hour. You can watch that video here. And if you want to see the results of the day, you can watch the progress video here.
Also, here is my last big finish in 2024 which was the Nordic Christmas Countdown project from Evertote, Modern Folk Embroidery and Roxy Floss.
It used 25 different floss colours and contains so many different motifs. The birds and the reindeer are my favourites, but I loved stitching it all! Total number of stitches = 5,465!
For yesterday afternoon's sewing I tried something new - a "4 thread day". My idea was to stitch one thread on 4 different projects. Does that sound like a good idea or a bad one? Maybe it's a little too frenetic for some people, but it did give me a chance to work on 4 completely different stitches. I stitched one thread of red, one of white, one blue, and one purple!
