IHSW February 2026

 I was able to get a little bit done on a few things:

Winter Sampler -Birds of a Feather.

Poppers by Kathy Rees 

And Phoenix Band Sampler by Northern Expressions Needlework:

A Little Stash

 Kim is having a sale on charts and I made a few purchases. Check out the sales at Sassy Jack's...

I got Rusty Rhapsody by Rosewood Manor and Modern Folk Embroidery Tjeerdje and Geertje. They have been on my wishlist for a while. And I finally broke down and got the threads for the Britamar sampler. I have an idea for them...

It's IHSW!

This is the weekend to hermit and stitch.  Here are my projects for the weekend:

And A Finish!

 Christian Henry by Sassafras Samplers 

Zipper?

 I have never learned to add a zipper. Should I practice on this piece?

Poppers

 The colors on this piece make me happy!

Blue Ribbon ANG Challenge

 My local needlepoint guild has a challenge. You set your own challenge and shared it with the guild. I said I would finish six pages of Christian Henry by Sassafras Samplers and a panel on Harmony of Nature Casket.

I'm done with the challenge for Christian Henry:

In fact, I have almost finished the sampler! 

Harmony of Nature, well...

Hopefully I will return to it soon.
