A Finish, A Finish, I'm in Shock!

This morning I put the last stitches into my Laura Parker sampler.

I wanted to stitch this ever since I saw it in Carol Sims' webshots album. It was a fast stitch and I love that Laura's last name is Parker.

My first finish of the New Year

TA DA! I have my first finish of the year! I finished Small Token by Blackbird Designs while watching the Olympics last night. It took about a week or less to finish and I would have had it done a lot faster if I wouldn't have had to frog the same spot twice. Don't know why I had such a problem with that one area, but I finally saved it for last and got it to all match up.

Rachael Holmes 1842

Apologies for the poor picture, this is my current obsession, uh WIP, Heartstring Samplery's Rachael Holmes 1842. Kathy is a little farther along than I am but I'm working hard to catch up.

It's a sweet stitch and just full of funky wonderfulness. I don't want to put it down and get really annoyed when I have to do something like clean or cook that interrupts my stitching.

Lovely work stitched by our Stacy and Finished by Sue.
