Farewell 2011!

It's the last day of 2011 and I just wanted to take this opportunity to thank everyone who visits and/or comments on my blog! You have all been more than kind and encouraging to this first time blogger and I just wanted you all to know how much I appreciate it!!! Now on to the stitchy side of life. Here is my last finish of the year. As you may or may not know, I love boxes; so when I saw this gem in the new BBD Christmas Garden book, I knew I had to do it! It's Alma Allen's Gift Box design and it was a joy to stitch!












I have the Christmas Garden design from this book kitted and plan to put my first stitch in tomorrow morning. I'm using Lakeside 35 count Sand Dune and the called for fibers (The box is also stitched on the 35 count Sand Dune.). 
I hope you all have a healthy, happy, and prosperous new year!!!
Linda

  8. Oh, I adore this Christmas Design booklet! I took my first stitches on New Year's Day, and I am loving it. I actually chose Vintage Sand Dune in 36. I was surprised to see someone else is using Sand Dune! :) Beautiful, beautiful work. Contratulations.

  9. Your box turned out beautiful! I'm anxiously awaiting my chart, since Christmas Garden going to be one of the few new starts I'm allowing myself this year. I guess I could go ahead and paint my box while I'm waiting.
