This beautiful project is complete !
is a cross stitch design from
Beth Twist at Heartstring Samplery.
I started this project on Feb. 8, 2016
and ended in Jan. 2019.
Stitch count is 435 x 363
Stitched on 28 ct. Cashel linen in
'Country Mocha' finish.
I'm sad to see it come to an end.
It has been my 'go to' stitching
for a long time, and has kept me company
through endless evenings of stitching.
I now need to patiently wait until I can
(hopefully) locate an old frame large enough
to work with this piece.
Design size is roughly 31 in. x 26 in.

While at a local thrift store,
I spied this gorgeous wool skirt.
Could not resist !
1.00 for about a half yard of usable wool.
I have just the place for it.

by going to REPURPOSED.)
We are enjoying some very beautiful,
warm days here in PA.
Birds are chattering and our little historic town
is bustling with activity.
Enjoy your day Friends ...

We have a store here in our small town where I can scoop up some wool sometimes. Great find. your sampler would have probable taken me 10 years to finish. LOL Great job Rose! Janice
ReplyDeleteI started His Eye is on the Sparrow 2 or 3 years ago. I started with the border and still have not finished that! When I’m working on WIPs, it’s easier to grab something much smaller. It is a gorgeous piece and I really need to make an effort to stitch on this project on a more regular basis.
ReplyDeleteI don't comment often, but do follow your progress. What a beautiful piece!
ReplyDeleteThis piece just amazes me every time I see it.
ReplyDeleteYou might look at stretcher bars to make frames for canvas, also Hobby Lobby type stores have different size packaged wood to build frames for any size you would need.
Blessings,

It is so pretty. You did such a nice job. I haven't had much luck finding a new project that kept me as engaged as that one. I am so glad that its warmer for you right now. I love that wool in that skirt. What a find. Have a lovely day.
ReplyDeleteI just can't get over the size of that gorgeous piece! What a treasure!
ReplyDeleteCongrats! Gorgeous piece that's been 3 years in the making!
