January Starts and Finishes

First - a finish.
Namaste by Ink Circles. Was sick with flue and this was the only one I could safely stitch, because 14 count.
25 August 2018 - 8 January 2019.

New Starts!
Another one for 30 years of stitching - Blue Moon (Andy Russell) by HAED.
However, very soon I realized that I need to finish it at least within 15 years, my eyes may fail to see the stitches.
It is stitched on 40 count Verdal 1 over 1 half-stitch (basktweave). Started 1 January 2019.

Progress as of end January.

From Nancy's Needle. Winter Christmas Roses (canvaswork).
Started 8 January 2019.
Progress as of end January.

Tall Year Square Etui (Inspirations magazine Issue No 93).
Bought a lot of Gloriana silks for this one. Will look fabulous if I manage to sew all 18 individually stitched pieces into one box.


Yesterday I finished the winter panel.
