It's IHSW!

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

Phoenix Band Sampler:

Winter Sampler:

Poppers:

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.

January Calendar

 Stitched every day so far!

January WIPocalypse Check In

 Melissa's question is what is your oldest WIP in your stash.

Mine is definitely Venetian Delight by Ro Pace. This is what it should look like if I would ever finish it:

 I know why I haven't touched it. I don't like that it requires two pieces of canvas.  I doubt I will touch it this year, but I do plan to work on another old WIP, MH 1656 by Hands Across the Sea:

I need to do some ripping and finish the last third, but it is too pretty to abandon.

I fully finished my blessing sampler-SA Marsham by Sassafras Samplers:

 

And I have made serious progress on Christian Henry by Sassafras Samplers:

Harmony of Nature Casket is moving forward too:

Hopefully I can FOCUS in February and get my WIP list down. But I am thinking about another start....
If you have time, join me over on the FIBERTALK YouTube channel Sunday February 1, 2026 for a stitch in public day. We will be on from 11:00 am to 1:00 pm Eastern Standard Time. Who knows what kind of trouble we will get into.
