Happy anniversary!
On 12 April we have a double anniversary - both dating and wedding.
The best way to celebrate is to start a new cross-stitch project.

Redwork
It might have taken forever but I am finally done with my stitching chair quilt.
I bought this redwork panel some ten years ago. First I wanted to stem stitch all pictures but... it took years to finish just two! Besides, I realised that it may not be too pleasant to sit on stitches :) So, here we are...

Winter Garden
It was a February start and almost February finish.
Winter Garden Sampler by Victoria Sampler.
19 Feb - 1 March 2019 (7 stitching days).
It took more time than it should have been because I did not buy the silk floss pack (too expensive) and had to choose from numerous leftover silks from my stash. And I am very indecisive, I always question my choices assuming they are wrong. Good thing I like the final result.

Cards
Finally I caved in. For a couple of years I was successful in convincing myself that I do not need another hobby... and here we are - my first Simon Says kit.
I was surprised to find our that I need more supplies to make my cards look nice. So, more to come.

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.
