I have my two final finishes for 2016. This is a JBW design - It is still missing the tiny little wheels for the engine and caboose - I am going to try to get them and sew them on this weekend
I started this in August for an Olympic challenge and I included it my Year of WIPs
And Woodland Peace is also finished. Started this in January 2013 for Debbie's Ultimate Crazy CrossSttich Challenge. Included in my Year of Wips and I am so happy it is complete. I will not be stitching on dark fabric for a bit. This was a struggle. But I have wanted to stitch this since 1990 so it is certainly a happy dance. I have no real plans for 2017 - accept finishing some WIPS and having new starts. Have a wonderful 1st day of the New Year.
Lots of very lovely stitching!! Woodland Peace is so pretty.
ReplyDeleteHappy New Year Malinda: Thank-you for stopping by.
ReplyDeleteI love the dark fabric and do find it a challenge to work on but the finished look is so pretty.
You have some great finished projects.

Beautiful finishes! I love the blue on brown so much, it's gorgeous! Even with all the effort it needed, it's an amazing finish.
ReplyDeleteWhat sweet finishes! Happy New Year!
ReplyDeleteLove these all! Brrr and the little train are so cute, and the blue you chose for Woodland Peace positively glows on that fabric!
ReplyDeleteA happy, healthy 2017 to you!
What pretty finishes, Melinda!! I'm glad I found your blog this year and I look forward to seeing what springs from your needle in 2017!
ReplyDeleteHappy New Year to you and your family :)
Delightful projects. Well done!
ReplyDeleteYour final small of the year is very pretty. And your two final finishes are, too. This little train with the wagons looks gerat. I can understand that stitching on dark fabric won't attract you for a while but that thread colour on the brown fabric is very special.
ReplyDeleteGood luck with your stitchy plans for 2017 and Happy New Year!
Pretty stitching Melinda, just love the little train and Woodland Peace. I´m trying to sort out some new projects for this year. Happy New Year
ReplyDeleteWoodland Peace turned out beautifully! Congrats on all your finishes Melinda and Happy New Years to you!
ReplyDeleteBeautiful stitching Melinda! I'm not too fond of stitching on dark fabric either, makes my eyes twitch! The combo of the blue and brown is perfect, and your little train is darling! Happy New Year!
ReplyDeleteWow I really love Woodland, why is the most stunning pieces we do are also some of the most challenging. I'm glad you persevered it looks incredible with that fabric and floss.
