Here is what I have been working on while grounded. This piece is straight off the Q-snap frame and has yet to be pressed, but I am super excited to share it with you. This photo did crop a bit of the image at the top. It’s This Is the Day by Plum Street Samplers. It has been my sole Sunday stitch for the past two years, and amazing but true . . . it was started on April 22, 2022, and I finished it yesterday April 21, 2024, just one day short of two years. When I recorded this finish in my cross stitch journal, I was amazed at the dates!
This brick house took a long time to stitch, but I love it.
It was stitched on 16 count White Chocolate Aida. If you are familiar with the pattern, you will notice a few changes that I made. I left out the goat in the top left corner over the flowers. It just didn’t make sense to me, so I stitched two bees instead. (It’s beyond me why the designer had a ram in the sky.) I also left out the stack of animals and long legged bird on the right side of the house and replaced them instead with flowers. I did use all the floss listed on the chart.
One of the first things I am going to do when I am no longer grounded is take this to be framed. I cannot wait to see this on my wall!!! :-)
I love the brick building! What a gorgeous piece!! Congratulations on your finish! Keep following directions so you continue healing!--TerryK@OnGoingProjects
