A bit of January - Finished!

I finished this little design up tonight...


A Bit of January



Now I just need February! :)


I have decided that my next big project (like I don't have enough of those going already) will be Celtic Banner. I actually started this years ago. I sold it to someone and they were very happy to have it and finish it. I have kicked myself so much for letting go of that project. And lately I've really been contemplating it and admiring others that have been stitched. So I ordered the pattern (again) and 32 ct. Lambswool Jobelan to stitch it on. I'm hoping it will look nice on it - I'm now wondering if I should've gone with linen. I don't know?? I was possibly thinking of tea-dyeing it. Anyway, here are the DMC threads the pattern calls for...

Aren't they gorgeous?? I think Marilyn Leavitt-Imblum is a genius when it comes to color and color combinations. I can't wait to get started (again).


P.S. I don't normally post twice in one day, but the kids went bed really early tonight, so I've found myself with a lot of very unusual free time on my hands. I really should get to bed also because since they went to bed early that probably means they'll be waking up early!! :) Write later!

  1. Nicole,
    I too saw so many doing the Celtic banner and since I am of Irish decent, decided...this is a must do. I forget the fabric I am using, but I have all the threads, it is on scroll bars and I have just the first corner done...another SAL...you and I seem to have alot of the same projects going right now...

  3. I love Celtic Banner and a friend recently gave me the pattern. But I'm still undecided what fabric to use...too many choices out there!
