March Cross Stitch Update

I can’t believe that March is over! Fastest month ever. I got some decent stitching finished this month. I finished two pieces for separate swaps and got a little more work done on the Story Time Sampler. Scott and I were joking about the fact that I love starting new patterns and have to pull myself back from starting everything I have. Most of the patterns I complete are for someone else these days.

I finally finished my Stargate Cross Stitch. It took me three tries, which is unusual for me. I’m not sure what my issue was with this one, but I just couldn’t get it right.

I also finished my Nancy Drew Cross Stitch. This was a lot of fun to stitch up and I’ll be making a second one for myself at some point in the future. I love how the variegated thread turned out.

I call my sampler stitching my selfish stitching. These are just for me and are usually what I stitch when I’ve finished projects for someone else and need a break before starting the next one. I’m really enjoying the Story Time Sampler. I’ve only managed a tad more since I last posted it, but I’m finding it pretty easy to stitch and I absolutely love the colors and stories they’ve chosen so far. This may be one that I actually finish before the year is over!

I’ll just add that the weather has been slightly nicer here and I’ve been able to stitch with the windows open for a couple of days and it has been glorious. I love relaxing warm weather stitching and am looking forward to the coming months.
