As there are only two more sleeps time until 'Tis The Season time for me to get serious and get ready...a couple of days before Chookyblue announced 'Tis The Season as the next SAL project parcel guy dropped off a squishy parcel that included pieces of a fabric in red and green colourways...fabrics which were included in said squishy parcel "just because" immediately called out to be included in this project...
Except for the book of course, I want to try to not purchase anything for this project, using fabrics and threads already in the stash (the red and green fabrics had arrived before the announcement so they count as stash)...I found two skeins of Needle Necessities 1301 in the thread boxes - I like the colour combination in this thread and it plays happily with the two fabrics...for the stitchery backgrounds a cream tone on tone with small stars...the little stars seem Christmassy without being too fussy...the other fabrics for the project will reveal themselves in good time...
Happy Stitching...

Hello!
Sounds like a plan coming together...now, it doesn't really take all that long to finish the GJ...you could do that when you're not sitting and stitching on TTS...I thought I was all set to stitch down my binding then remembered I need a hanging sleeve and want to do that first so back to the machine I go to finish that...got the label ready to put on too....I really mean to be ready to do some stitching by Tuesday, the 1st.
