Prairie Stars

Hello blog friends. I hope everything is fine at your end.
A lot of stitching progress on Prairie Stars! (Take note, this is not a before and after pic😊
 
 
I can't seem to get a clearer picture with the white aida at night (or even in the day). I got in the mood with the third frame once it started looking like stained glass (well, to me). And I couldn't resist putting the "reindeer" (I know it's not there, haha)... then with the dark thread already cut why not continue with the letters. So there you have it, I think it's more than 25% done. And because I got so caught up with that, museum pictures will have to wait (who's waiting for it anyway, right?)
Update on "We Thank Thee" sampler: I listened to the stitching experts out there, just ordered the Rum Raisin... along with a pattern and fabric, another haha. Hope it arrives before August ends so I can have a month's finish. 

Thanks for visiting. Happy Stitching!

  6. How festive it looks!!! Much better than the original:) I got things ready for 'And to all a good night' tonight, but I realized that I did not have all the threads! So disappointed but I am going to make a start with my black tread and blog about it (and other projects I've stitched on this week) during the weekend. Even thought this is a particularly bad month for me moneywise, I hope I can get the rest of the threads soon... Who wants to stitch a Xmas pic without the reds and greens...?!
