I've been working on several round robins and guild projects which involve a monthly technique, so it's been awhile since I actually finished something.
Last week I got Charlands "Be Mine" finished. (I've had this in my stash for quite a few years - I couldn't even find it on her website anymore) I used a different linen, and substituted GAST threads for DMC. Also changed colours slightly to better match the 'Linen and Colours' thread which came with the kit.
Then for something completely different, I pulled a stumpwork piece out of my stash to do. Karen Buell's "Blueberries and Ladybug" I don't do much surface work, so it was fun to do a different technique.

I'll have to get a jar lid to mount it in. My next project is going to be Sandy Jenkins's Beehive purse. I've actually stitched this before as a shop model, but it is in the May 2001 Stitcher's World magazine, and since I couldn't keep the model, I want to do one for myself. I've got the supplies on order, and should be able to start it by the end of the month.
