I have a last stitching finish for the year to share with you. Oddly enough, this was one of my two New Years starts. I finished both - the other was Sarah Seifer. The color is off in the pic here. Sure was a fun stitch. The thread used for the house bricks is just one color - the beauty of a variegated skein of thread!

I think I'll be back before the end of the year with a quilting finish too - the red and white quilt I've been working on for a very long time!
Wishing you all a happy holiday season - and a safe one as well. Greg and I have had a relatively stress free one but this weekend is going to be a busy. We'll enjoy it though! Since our kids are older there isn't much stress in the season. We're pros and have learned to pace ourselves! Haha! (you probably shouldn't believe all of that)
