has almost arrived! And I just slipped the last few stitches into this:
"B"
Designed by: the Prairie Schooler
stitched 1 over 1 on 25 ct. lugana
using DMC as charted
I issued a challege...
over on the Prairie Schooler ABC Stitching Bee to refresh and renew our pledge to stitch the ABC's and finish one block by the end of the year. I thought I was going to embarrass myself and not meet my own challenge. But thank goodness, I met the challenge and I still have a week to go before the end of the year! Hmmm...what is next?!
So here is my...
efforts to date. I am hopeful that by the end of 2012 I'll have a lot more blocks than these two sorry ones I have already.
These pictures...
honestly do not show the loveliness (nor the daintiness) of these piece. It is much more pretty in real life. Honestly its really is!
Until next time...
I hope you all are on the "nice" list...heaven forbid being on that "naughty" list!
Merry Christmas!

Merry Christmas Vonna! I enjoy reading your blog to see what you and your family are up to. Looking forward to visiting with you in 2012 (cyber wise don't worry I will not be dropping in for a visit). :)
ReplyDeleteLOL. I had to chuckle about embarrassing yourself for not finishing your own challenge.
ReplyDeleteIt's quite lovely.
I am still pecking at mine.
TFS.
Hope you and your family had a wonderful Christmas celebration Vonna. I also want to get back to the PS ABC - I have been toying with getting my B is for Blackbird out and seeing your lovely finish has inspired me. I feel like I am getting too many irons in the fire but isn't that what stitchers do in January - have a big blowout with starting new WIP's - wooohoooo
ReplyDeleteEnjoy! Melody
I think it looks lovely enough in the pictures. Well done!
ReplyDeleteYour B is for Blackbird is beautiful! I have always loved the Prairie Schooler designs, will have to pull mine out. I finally set up my blog now that the Christmas craziness has passed, www.juststitchingalong.blogspot.com --you were right, it was easier than I thought, thanks! Happy New Year, Vonna!
