I made two Terri Bay Ukrainian whitework pieces as gifts. I personalized the back with their initials.
28ct Picture This Plus Helix linen. I just had a small piece, but it was big enough to stitch two of these. A little bit of DMC floss for the black and Finca pearl cotton in gray. Finally some River Silks ribbon for the finishing.
If you are interested, this is a class by Janet Zickler Casey. But it is also available as a painted canvas thru Danji Designs.
Progress photo on the Count of Needlemania. There's a lot of black to stitch. So I worked on the cloak collar. When I finish the right side, maybe I'll add his ears and mouth.
I have been organizing again. Literally have had my hands on every kitted canvas I own both counted and painted. And I documented them. So I know where they are.
Now if I want a new project I should just dip into the bin and get stitching.
Bonus. I found a canvas that I was ready to buy from our current trunk show. And it has all the threads.
Meanwhile, this canvas came out to play.

I have not fallen off the earth. I am still here and still stitching. Just been working on gifts, etc.
I do have another JoAnn finish. This is the second of three British pub canvases designed by Trubey. JoAnn had barely begun the roof and I had a bag of threads. I changed a few. This was a fairly straightforward stitch. Lots of satin or gobelin stitching. A good amount of basketweave.
It'll be a box stand up.
