I have come up with a bit of a plan for managing my huge pile of stitching for the year.  What I will try to do is spend the first 7 to 10 days of the month doing my alphabets: the Drawn Thread&#8217;s Sampler of Stitches and the Jeannette Douglas ABC Sampler. I will spend my car-waiting time on an ornament or Small, and the rest of my evenings can be dedicated to another larger project. That&#8217;s not as organized as some of you, but it&#8217;s a good start to keep me plugging away on things this year!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\"><figure class=\"aligncenter size-full\"><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"640\" height=\"640\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.marysthread.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/02\/img_7634.jpg?resize=640%2C640&#038;ssl=1\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-5117\" srcset=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.marysthread.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/02\/img_7634.jpg?w=1000&amp;ssl=1 1000w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.marysthread.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/02\/img_7634.jpg?resize=300%2C300&amp;ssl=1 300w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.marysthread.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/02\/img_7634.jpg?resize=150%2C150&amp;ssl=1 150w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.marysthread.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/02\/img_7634.jpg?resize=768%2C768&amp;ssl=1 768w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 640px) 100vw, 640px\" \/><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p>Here are the next letters and bands of ABC. Letters are very easy and nice to stitch.  I\u2019m so hesitant about my colors for the bands. I don\u2019t think it will look terrible but will they be well coordinated? Maybe I picked too many colors. I need to make sure to use each color 3-4 times like the original.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\"><figure class=\"aligncenter size-large\"><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"640\" height=\"853\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.marysthread.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/02\/img_7630.jpg?resize=640%2C853&#038;ssl=1\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-5118\" srcset=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.marysthread.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/02\/img_7630.jpg?resize=768%2C1024&amp;ssl=1 768w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.marysthread.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/02\/img_7630.jpg?resize=225%2C300&amp;ssl=1 225w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.marysthread.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/02\/img_7630.jpg?w=1000&amp;ssl=1 1000w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 640px) 100vw, 640px\" \/><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p>Here is my work on Sampler of Stitches. This one is SO fun! I regret putting it off so long! I decided to work vertically instead of across on the sections so my next letter was J. I want to see what the jonquil looked like with the colors I chose and I really like it. I am deciding what color to make the Jessica stitches that go along the bottom. I&#8217;m inclined to make them red instead of yellow. I love Jessicas!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>My Small\/ornament for February is the Sugar Plum Fairy. Here is the progress for the last week. This is just like stitching a Mill Hill ornament. I am enjoying it. Soon it will be time for beads!!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\"><figure class=\"aligncenter size-large\"><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"640\" height=\"965\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.marysthread.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/02\/img_7627.jpg?resize=640%2C965&#038;ssl=1\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-5116\" srcset=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.marysthread.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/02\/img_7627.jpg?resize=679%2C1024&amp;ssl=1 679w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.marysthread.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/02\/img_7627.jpg?resize=199%2C300&amp;ssl=1 199w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.marysthread.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/02\/img_7627.jpg?resize=768%2C1158&amp;ssl=1 768w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.marysthread.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/02\/img_7627.jpg?w=1000&amp;ssl=1 1000w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 640px) 100vw, 640px\" \/><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p>My larger project this month is the anniversary sampler for my parents. I have gotten it out and looked at it again to figure out where I left off. I am not enthusiastic about the Trebizond (silk pearl) border but I also didn&#8217;t attempt to find a substitute. I should just dive in and get it over with! The rest of the project will be nice to do!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>I am glad it is February so I can work on my alphabet samplers.
