Away you go

If all goes well, I will fully finish the other twenty something Prairie Schooler Santas for Christmas 2026. 

Testing the new toy.

Such a learning curve. But I will get this!

Basket full of Santas

Christmas Past.

These were 

These were stitched in Nashville; therefore, I know it was early 1990's.  

2026 challenge

My Bee challenge for 2026, is to make 75 of these cute little trees by next December. 

They finish 4 inches by 7 inches. I will be using my Tri-Rec rulers. These tringles are not your usual ones. The Tri-Rec ruler has a 53.13 degree angle.  The strip needed for the tree is 4.5 inches. The trunk is cut (1) 1.5" by 1.25" with the trunk background cut (2)  1.5" by 2.25" rectangles.

This is my test sample to make sure all is good.

All the background will be from black and white fabrics and the trees of any color; but with some restricions.

New knitting project

Because starting something new is always more fun than chores. 

Enjoying a cold day with a fun yarn. This is Leticia by Bremont. A blend of wool 60%, Alpaca 20%, and silk 20%. 

Pattern by Yarnspiration. I am adapting the pattern and I will make it long sleeve.

Christmas Stitching

 

Just a new start on a small Christmas cross stitch. It will finish about 2.5 inches by 5.5 inches on an eighteen count aida cloth.
