Crazy January Challenge - Project #1

Did anyone guess what my New Year's Day start would be? I've been itching to stitch it since it was first released just prior to the fall needlework market. It's also the first design from Heartstring Samplery that I have ever stitched (I don't think it will be the last either!)

Poppy Maye Russell is one of Jenny Bean's friends. I am stitching it on 35 ct WDW Cappuccino linen with WDW floss. I think I made pretty good progress yesterday.





Now, to decide which of the 15 projects I will work on today....hmmmm....I think it will be another new start. I'll post an update either later tonight or tomorrow.

Wishing you a wonderful day!
