Crazy Challenge Finish #9

Happy dance time! On Sunday night, I finished this sampler from Heartstring Samplery. Poppy Maye is one of Jenny Bean's friends. This sampler appealed to me the minute I first saw it. I like the dark linen and the floss colors. I was so excited to stitch it that it was the first Crazy Challenge piece that I started on January 2. It took me awhile to finish it though; those alphabets were tedious! But, she's done now. I can't wait to get this beauty framed.

You know, when I started the Crazy Challenge in January, I didn't really think that I'd get all 15 pieces finished - and I still won't, BUT...it sure has been fun working on these pieces throughout the year! I hope to finish at least one more (or maybe two). It's that time of year though when I start thinking about the holidays and I need to start working on ornaments and such for gifts. We'll see how things go.

That's all I've got for you today!

    Another lovely finish. I am glad you have been able to keep up with the challenge. :) I try but never seem to get to those pieces. :)

    I also have to say I just love your LHN framed piece in your previous post. It is gorgeous!

    Congratulations on knocking another one off your challenge list! It looks great. I also love your recent framing from your last post, I didn't get around to commenting on it before.

    It feels great to mark another one done doesn't it??

    Congratulations on a beautiful finish!
    If I did not have 50,000 boxes to unpack ( ok, slight exaggeration, but it seems like that) I would follow your lead and start stitching some holiday surprises!
