And as is the accepted custom in needlework blogs there need to be some stitchy resolutions. Having been vocal about doing a major project in the New Year I decided on the Historic Countries Sampler from GOS.
My last project for 2010 was completed on 22 December so I immediately made a start and here is a progress snap.
The top centre section - Germany is almost completed. Just Caleb and Joshua and the outsize bunch of grapes to go! Because of the size of the finished piece - hence the size of the linen fabric and the fact that I am using only a small hand held round frame I will not be working these sections in the order published by GOS, rather working from left to right across the piece of linen. I look forward to starting 'England after 1800' next. The linen is 34 count "Devonshire Cream" and I am working in the DMC conversion supplied. Can you tell by this speedy progress how much I am loving this??
