The Daily Blog ~ Day 2


Adding Color to my Vintage Christmas Cross Stitch Sampler!


I completed the frame last night.

I decided to do the borders first this time after 
I made a small count error on one of the border frames
of the Fall Sampler.

This method works much better for me
and I have saved the best part for last!
Win = Win



Cross stitching again has been such a pleasant past time for me 
that I am adding to my 2019 works.
I found these out-of-print  Snowman of the Month
cross stitch cards from Curtis Boehringer
and plan to stitch one a month
on the same blue Aida 11 background.


I find I can do this for a few minutes at a time before my eyes blur and hands cramp.
So this will be slow stitching.

Midnight has found me putting in a few more X's most nights lately,
and counting my blessings.

You may have noticed "The Daily Blog" title to this post.
I am going to make an effort to post everyday for 365.
Most days may just be a photo or short message.

My plans are to take things one day at a time
and one stitch at a time for 2019.

I have resolved not to make any resolutions 
but to sew and stitch whatever catches my interest at any given time ... 
which is pretty much what I always do in my sewing happy place. 

What are your plans for 2019?

Have a Happy Quilty New Year ... ♥️
