Rather than buying any new sewing stash (I literally have drawers full of sewing things), I have been "persuaded" (ordered!) by my stitching friend Susan to complete some of my Works in Progress before I buy anything new. My list of Works In Progress is very long!!
But I am pleased to report that last night I finished one of my WIP list - this lovely antique effect "Home is where my heart blooms" sampler. The fabric is dyed to make it look old and I think it works really well. I really love this little sampler and although the 2008 date is a stark reminder of when I started this project rather than when I finished it, I can't wait to get it framed and hung on the wall. Susan does this mean I can buy something new now??!!!!

This turned out so pretty. I used to do the same thing, Hannah - accumulate crafting projects. I had several large plastic tubs filled with unfinished projects, as well as a heaping assortment of doodads and ribbons. I ended up picking out the things I liked best and worked on those, and then gave away/sold the rest.
I'm in awe - this is so pretty!
Sigh! Just beautiful. Of course if this is the quality of WIP you have on the go then why buy new!?!(Like I need to ask!) t.x
Love the sampler Hannah! You and I have very similar tastes when it comes to this type of cross stitch!
This is so lovely Hannah!
I also have WIP but now I am confined to home 1 week in every 4 (hubby undergoing chemo ) I hope to get some finished . !!!
What a coïncidence... This summer I'm watching Masterchef on the Belgian Television, (and I'm your fan !!! ), and now I discover you are also a stitcher !! And we have the same taste in stitching !!
I stitched this chart some months ago, I'm a big Blackbird Designs fan !
