Designer: Prairie Schooler
Design:  December Book #150
Fully finished into a flat fold by Keepsakes, Cincinnati, OH

One more month, August, and I will be finished stitching all 12 of the Prairie Schooler monthly designs.  I have started August and will post a picture of my progress at the end of the month.

I have another finish

Designer:  Sub Rosa
Design:  Santa Claus
Fabric:  18CT Vintage Country Mocha
Floss:  Weeks Dye Works called for
1st Stitch:  07/28/2026 - Last Stitch:  08/27/2026
For:  A Christmas gift for Carla
Notes:  I will be sending this to Keepsakes in Cincinnati to be fully finished into a flat fold.  I hope it isn't to big for a flat fold.  I love this project and really hate to give it away.  But Carla loves to read and I think she will appreciate a reading Santa.

I finished stuffing all of the Christmas ornaments this afternoon.  I have a Halloween pillow to stuff and then I will start sewing them closed.  I have to order some 2026 charms for them.  I was fully finishing the Peanut Blossom Cookie I stitched earlier this summer and almost cut it in half.  I plan on restarting it in the next couple of days.  

An August Finish

Today I started August.  It is the last of the months I have to stitch.  I can't wait to get if finished and sent to Keepsakes to be made into a Flat Fold like the other months except for January and May which are framed and hang on the wall all the time.
