This was Finish #2 on my Road Trip to Roma stitching (way back in July) - you can read all about my trip to Outback Queensland on my main blog, starting with this post, if you are interested.
I am not overly thrilled with how it has turned out - not the design's fault but mine! I made an error somewhere near the start, didn't pick it up until it was way too late, so had to ditch the idea of a border and create this snow "hill" instead - now it is a bit of an odd shape - may have to make it a bell-shaped ornie, I think, when I Finish Finish it. Although, some other interesting shapes have been suggested to me, as well.
Prairie Schooler Book #150
December
28 ct Ivory linen
Suggested DMC floss
I also finally finished the Train Sampler (as the baby was born). His name is Joseph Fxxxx, so I added those initials to the coal carriage. I am really thrilled with how it turned out and the new mother was pleased with the baby gift, too.
This is from Book #69, Prairie Village I.
Anyway, off to kit up some more PS designs to take on the road trips I have coming up soon (Ballarat for a weekend and then in a week or two, a week on Kangaroo Island). I find their designs are so perfect for travel. Not too many colour changes and so satisfying to stitch.
hugs, Kaye
