What an adorable piece! I love it. The colors are so lovely. The incentive to finish this one is definitely higher, even with all the work over the Thanksgiving holidays. The kit came with 32 ct unbleached Glenshee linen.

Elegant Stripes Stocking by The Thread Gatherer
Size: 77H x 53W
I bought this all kitted project from another stitcher. It used Silk n' Color (Forget me Knot) and Sheep's Silk (white). I know this is the main reason I picked up this one. The fabric is 18ct evenweaven white, not much character there. I should have used something a little more unusual. The white is too fair to reflect the clear beads on the stocking. But I love the color of "Forget Me Not". The finishing work can be challenging.

Patch Pals by Silver Needle
Size: 43H x 63W
This project was a drag! It took me forever to stitch it. Not quite sure of the reason, must be traveling too much. I love these secret needle night projects though! Working on big count fabric after linen is a treat. I get to try out the fun fibers too. For this project, the fun threads used in the designs are overdyed flosses from Weeks and Gentle Art, as well as a touch of Impressions from the Caron Collection, plus black metallic from the Rainbow Gallery. Fabric is 10 ct Wild Honey Heatherfield.
