A Finish And A New Start

 Thank-you to all my followers who have left comments, your comments warm my heart.

I did finish  basket insert from Pam Reeds Olde Colonial Designs, I just need to find the Accessory 1 pattern I may have it i my stash, I did get the pattern from Stash Reallocation table ate Minnesota Needlework Guild Retreat several years ago.






So sorry about the wrinkles, I plan to construct all the pieces after stitching them all, I used an unknown fabric type in 32 count fabric, I did use the called for threads, I did change a motif on the area above the MNO, I am not a big fan of the Queen Stitch, I can not get them to look good enough


I will be starting the stitching on Primrose Garden Winter Forest, I am using an orphaned piece of 32 count fabric found at Guild retreat, I am also using the called for threads


That's about it for now, it has been very cold here in Minnesota with very little snow, sub-zero weather in the minus temps, tomorrow it will be 18 above, that sounds cold to some people but warm when we have been in the sub-zero temps.
I hope wherever you are that the snow and cold temps are not too bad 
To Sandra Carstairs: I will be using a wooden tray, I could not fins the basket either, your idea of using a tray is a wonderful idea, if you would like to see what Sandra is up too visit her at:https://uk.pinterest.com/sandracarstairs/.
Happy Stitching to you all
Catherine

Your basket insert looks great. I hope you find the accessories booklet. Love your new start. It is in my stash and I am itching to start it but trying to stay strong and resist. XO, R

The project is so pretty, congrats on your finish.
That drum is going to be a beautiful stitch, love it.
Your weather is about the same as ours, very cold & no more snow, just a little left on the ground. It's supposed to get into the 20's this weekend.
I'm tired of the cold, below zero temps.

You always find such fun designs to stitch. Hopefully you can find the accessory pattern (perhaps doing a google search might turn it up?).
