March 8, 2023--The March installment of ANG's Stitch of the Month (SOTM) project called Crescent Journey by Melita Glavin is now stitched and everything put away until the April instructions are published on the ANG website. This is really a fun and challenging project so far. Each section worked up adds to its beauty. Here's a photo of what it looks like so far.

February 14, 2023--Happy Valentine's Day!!! This blog, however, isn't about hearts, but instead about the 2023 ANG Stitch of the Month (SOTM). So far, I've stitched both the January and February installments and below is a photo of the results to date.
Whew--the center medallion was certainly a challenge, but a fun one and I can appreciate how much more beautiful it will look with the addition of beads. Looking forward to the March instructions.

January 5, 2023--I just completed the first month's lesson to this year's Stitch of the Month (SOTM) project designed by Melita Glavin and available for free to members of the American Needlepoint Guild (one of the wonderful benefits of membership).
This lesson focuses on stitching the outline on 18 count mono canvas, and I love the stitches used by the designer. Instead of the usual gobelin or smyrna stitches, Melita chose Mosaic and Diagonal Knitting Stitches, and the results are very attractive. I chose to work this up in the Neutral Colorway which incorporates golds, silvers, beiges and black (with some beads thrown in).
