Hello everyone! I hope you are all healthy and positive during this time…and getting some extra stitchy time in as well!

Here’s where I was last time on Madame Chantilly’s Pumpkins Thieves:

BEFORE

And here is where I am now…. A happy dance finish!! I just love how this turned out. I stitched this on 32 count Lakeside Linens in the color Vintage Maritime White, using a variety of DMC, Classic Colorworks, and Weeks Dye Works floss.

AFTER

I finished this on 3/18 and started a new project on 3/19 in celebration of Spring. I’m stitching along with @stitchedlit on Instagram, where you can check out her progress as well! We started Time of Flowers by Alicia Paulson. Earlier this year I finished First Snow by Alicia Paulson, so you can expect some more sweet whimsical stitching from my updates! Here’s what Time of Flowers looks like:

Here’s the progress I’ve made so far! I’m stitching this on 36 count linen in the color Fern by Colour and Cotton. I received this fabric in one of my monthly subscription deliveries. I’m using most of the called for DMC floss. The fabric is darker than pictured below, but lighter than the fabric used above. I started on the top left corner. Claire started hers in the center and you can check that out on instagram.
