12 Days of Christmas - 1st and 2nd

This is my first post to the group, and I am as always, a little late to the party-

Day 1 and Day 2.  I do hope to have Day 3 finished by month end.   This is a picture of how it will look when it is finished - found in the Cross Stitch and Needle Work Magazine (no longer publishing). I have spent a lot of time deciding if I really wanted to stitch the big pear tree in the middle or just have the days in three rows of four.  There are so many fractional stitches in those leaves. I do think I am going to go with the pattern as charted.

Rita's March 2017...3 French Hens

Here is 3 French Hens from the PS 12 Days of Christmas leaflet.  (I'm enjoying this year's theme.)

Late... 12 Days of Christmas - Day 2

12 Days of Christmas - Plum Street Samplers

Free design - link to the Plum Street Samplers "Grand Finale" blog post is here

Sorry.... I am so late posting this pic of my finished second day square.  I did have this finished in February but I just kept running out of time to post!

I am stitching this on 28ct Jobelan "Gold Digger" from Colour Cascade Fabrics and using threads from Jodyri Designs.  The colours I am using are: Sense & Sensibility, Wuthering Heights, The Olde Curiosity Shoppe and Into Midnight (the border).

Day 3 is progressing nicely.... hopefully I will get back to post that before the end of March!

Til next time, happy stitching :o)

Serendipitous Jo's March's French Hens

I have completed the third block on Joan Elliott's 12 Days of Christmas:

Here's where I was last month on the whole piece:

And here is where I am now:

I stitched for two whole days on the left hand Herald Angel but the rest of the progress has been just a little bit each evening while my son is in the bath.  Those minutes all add up over the course of a month.

Mary's Mill Hill Snowman with Christmas Lights

Here's my "Christmas lights" theme- Snow Fun by Mill Hill!! It's too bad the crystal beads don't show up better in the picture- it's really pretty in person!

This was a quick stitch for sure- I just love Mill Hill Kits!! Now I can check this off my list and attend to all my other March goals!

Faith's March Ornament

YAY, March's ornament is completed!

Day 3

Three French Hens 

Margaret Sherry's Twelve Days of Christmas series. 

I love her different interpretations of each one;

they are not at all what you would expect but they are fitting!

Thanks for looking and for the
