Happy New Years Eve everyone!! Today I am sharing my version of a 12 by 12 with you. I have pulled out all but one of my WIPs and stitched one each one for one hour. I will be sharing my before and after each hour. I have a couple hours where I talk about the stitching community and I finish off with a very special start for the new year!
I hope you are able to sit down in a cozy spot today and stitch while ringing in the new year!
This year I encourage you to share your love of stitching with someone in your life. Needle art is a great traditional community builder but also is very meditative which we seem to need more than ever. So this year let’s do some good in our community and share our love of the craft :)
