Well, I'm halfway through the Ultimate Crazy January Challenge! Some stitchers start 15 new designs for the first 15 days of January, but I'll do it all month long!
Day #13 is Christmas Ark by The Prairie Schooler. The chart gives the option of stitching Santa or Noah, and I chose Noah. I finished half of one wave, from the center to the left edge. I'm stitching on 18 ct Pale Delft Blue Aida and the finished size will be 11" x 8.5".

Day #14 is Vinney Reindeer by Fresh Threads Studio. The red blob is an ornament. There will be three ornaments hanging from his antlers. It is stitched on 18 ct hand-dyed Aida in a greenish-bluish color with sparkles and will be 3" x 3-1/4".

Day #15 is Majestic Eagle, a kit by Sunset that I bought 14 years ago. My son picked it out when he was 14 and now he's 28! I started with the bald eagle's head. There are lots of blended floss colors. It is stitched on 16 ct Dove Grey Aida and will be 16" x 9".

This is also one of my Turtle Trot SAL pieces, so I hope to post updates on it once a month. It's not the usual bright colors I like to stitch, but I think it will look very realistic.
Your projects are amazing, they are so varied and different. I especially like Rudolph, can't wait to see more of him !!!! I've enjoyed the challenge so much, I'm thinking of doing the Ultimate next year but I'll see how I go this year first!!!!!
ReplyDeleteReally like the starts, Vinney Reindeer really is eye catching, the aida is just wonderful and he looks like such a cute character. Looking forward to seeing the eagle grow. I did make the changes myself on the beds of roses sampler, I have to see how the end works out and may need to adjust things on right hand side a bit.
ReplyDeleteI can't wait to see the eagle, i think it's going to be amazing. I think it was a good idea to start with it's head because right from the start you can see something.
ReplyDeleteCan I ask where you got your q-Snap Huggers from? I've tried to look online but I fear being in the UK I might be out of luck.
Wow Debbie. You're so ambitious. I can barely keep up with the three projects I have going right now.
ReplyDeleteWow a new start for the whole month! I love the fabric of your reindeer!
ReplyDeleteGreat new starts Debbie. You've gotten so much done on each one. Love Vinney and his fabby.

Lovely starts and I especially liked and think what a great place to start on the Prarie Schoolers chart. That way you have a nice alinement for the rest of the designs. You amaze me Debbie. Sometimes it takes me a hour or 2 hunting for the supplies to kit up a project. lol.

You are a brave one to have a new start everyday for the month of January!
