Since starting this as my Leap Year Day start on the 29th February, I’m finding it difficult to put down.
I have fallen in love with every Jeanette Douglas design that I have stitched so far and this little set is no exception and as we know, she loves a specialist stitch or two.
So far in this sampler I have worked plain old Cross Stitch, Satin Stitch, Tied Cross Stitch, Bargello Stitch, Large Satin Crosses, Woven Stitch and I am just about to tackle a band of Jessica and Ray (eyelet) Stitches, so wish me luck.
I had great trouble finding the ‘Cabranmary Woods’ box for this project over here, so in the end I searched to find the best price (including postage) from the USA. It took a while but in the end I ordered from Farm Girl Dry Goods and it came fairly quickly, so it’s sitting here, ready to take each piece as I finish it.
All I have to do now
is source a crown charm.
Happy Stitching!

ReplyDeleteAww, thanks so much Stasi. It's just so pretty. Jeanette sure knows how to choose threads!! Happy Stitching! Sue x
DeleteYou are making incredible progress on your Leap Year start, Sue. Glad you were able to get the box for this beautiful set.
ReplyDeleteThanks Robin. I though it was going to be hard to justify paying so much for the box, but given how much the kit cost in the first place, it just had to be done. Happy Stitching! Sue x
