Happy Dance - Snowman Sweater

 

Started: 1/12/2025

Finished: 1/20/2025

Total Time: 7 hours and 5 minutes

This is another part of an Emma Congdon design of nine ugly sweaters and can be found in  Cross Stitcher Magazine #377.

It's stitched as charted with the called for DMC floss on white 14-count plastic canvas. I did change the carrot from 783 to 721 since carrots should be orange and not gold.

It's now an ornament that will be given to the local Ronald McDonald House this coming Christmas.

Happy Dance - Follow Your Heart

Started: 3/11/2020

Finished: 3/18/2020

Stitching Time: 6 hours 47 minutes

Follow Your Heart is the free cover kit that came with Cross Stitch Crazy #266 and was designed by Emma Congdon.  It's stitched as charted with the materials in the kit except that I replaced the fabric with a larger piece so that I could use a hoop.  It took so long because there were several sections that had to be stitched twice.

I was planning to make up as the magazine did, but Kyleigh saw me stitching on it and said "I wonder whose quilt that's going on."  Fortunately, because I replaced the fabric, it will work for her quilt.  She also stated that she was getting tired of waiting for it, so I'm going to spend the rest of March working on squares for it.
