I started four Prairie Schoolers all on the same cut of fabric. I have now finished the bird in the lower right, and the fish on the lower left. I still have the picnic area design to do. It still looks like that. But it does show where the Christmas Tree Farm was in the upper left. It's sideways, but it seems to be the only photo I have of what it looked like when I picked it up this round. The spacing looks weird, but it allows the 3 inches of border around each design.
A Finish! - Prairie Schooler - All You Can Eat. Finish #12 for 2021. Done with the suggested colors. Below is what it looked like as I picked it back up again.
Band Sampler by Historical Sampler Company. Below is what it looked like when I picked it back up again. I am finishing the border flowers, finished the grape row, and the two border bands above the grape row. Filling in the top row to get me all the way across. I was kinda hoping for it to be the 13th finish, cause it's not my favorite, but it does get closer every time. I picked it to stitch because it's NOT really my usual stitching project. But I STILL picked it to stitch. It was a choice. It's not frustrating, it's just different. One project like that is fine, several projects like that would not be fine.
Finished Dec 8, 2021. Finish #11 for 2021 - I think. 8.5 wide x 13.75 long. Used 4 skeins of dmc 3685, and 4 skeins of dmc 932. One over one on Wichelt jobelan, antique white, 28 count. Stitched the initials in red just because I wanted them to blend in more, and the birds above were also stitched darker. I really enjoyed stitching this. It was my 'election year', 'new president', 'red-white-blue', and I really like that idea of it looks like a fancy carpet pattern.
