Projects three, two yet to be and one in progress you will see!

Here is how my WIP Gloria designed by Patricia Andrle looks at this moment.  Stitching it is a slow process as every full cross has a blending filament in it.  I try to twist, straighten, drag and position the filament to show on the top leg of the X.  It happens maybe 3 out of every 4 stitches.  I know I say this every time but I love how this design looks as it is stitched.  Somedays I find it a drudgery but most days it is a joy to pick it up.

I joined a Facebook group I really like called "Cross Stitch For Believers in Christ".  It is a smaller group but I like it.  I am not hesitant to show my love of my Father, creator of all that is and will be.  It is a joy to share that with other like minded ladies.  I did jump in with both feet by sharing spiritual free designs I found.  I also have organized a stitch along of Mary's Sampler.  It is a free design from Plum Street Samplers.  There are maybe a half dozen on the group who will start stitching it this Sunday January 22, 2022.  Here is a link and a picture of this lovely design.

I have also kitted a traveling project to occupy my time while I wait.  My mother is having cataract surgery done on her eyes.  She will have several appoints and I have chosen an easy one color project to work on.  

I will be using Silkweaver's Signature Series 28ct linen in the color "Antique Mauve".  The floss I chose was Nina's Threads in "Old Lace". Love both colors and it should be easy to pick up and put away in waiting rooms.  I have no idea how I will finish it once done but "Homemade" is love incarnate.

Well that is it for now.  I will show particulars on Mary's Sampler once the stitch along begins.  So for now, keep cozy and warm as you stitch, stitch, stitch.
