A few finished projects

I finished up a few projects just in time for Christmas ...

Meara's stocking (finished in record time!!!)

Sus's Christmas sampler (she did most of the work, I just finished a bit of the stitching and framed it)

A poem for Dad for his two doggies (China and Mea) that passed this year

And I didn't get photos of the poinsettia towels I stitched for Sus or the Woodland Walk sampler I did for Mom. I always forget something!

And because they didn't make an earlier post .. here are the two stockings I made as gifts last year:

It was cool to see four of my handmade stockings hanging in a row this year!

Grant's Stocking

I have been working on lots of stitching projects lately, and don't have many finished to show off ...

But I did finish Grant's Christmas stocking just in time for the holidays. It is one of the hardest projects I've undertaken. Tons of blended thread, tons of different colors, specialty stitches, beads, and a very small thread count. I think it turned out beautifully, but I won't be doing this pattern again!
