CJC 2013 Stiching Started

I have finally started two of my new Crazy January Challenge 2013 projects. Both are from The Prairie Schooler and I am so happy they use the same color floss so I can work on them together.  I plan to take them to the Texas Basket Weavers Association weaver's weekend to work on in my downtime.

After stitching on these two pieces I have found that I am not a fan of Davos fabric, the weave is to loose and the stitches tens to slip.  I am having to be very creative with my stitching to ensure my X's look like X's and not a vertical bar.  I am having to complete each X as I go along--what a pain.  Once this fabric is used up I will not be buying more for my other PS Santa's ( I have the entire annual Santa collection). 

 

Enjoy!!

Stitch-n-Swap2 Ornament Exchange

Hello Everyone -

I have stitching exchange to share with you from the SNS2 Yahoo group.  We had to make an ornament for one person and receive from another.  Lots of fun.
