Finish It Friday! 2 Finishes!! One Cross Stitch, Knitting and Sewing/quilting WIP

Summary AI

Levi, host of Oh! Stitch Happens!, introduces a new monthly series called Finish It Friday, where she will exclusively show projects until they are completed. In this first episode, she celebrates two cross stitch finishes: Ann Thomas 1854 by Hands Across the Sea, which she had threatened to throw away if not finished this year, and Santa Stops Here, a design she stitched on 36ct Duxbury linen from Fox and Rabbit. She also discusses her large stash of WIPs, including around 200 cross stitch projects, and shares plans for her next three projects: a cross stitch, a knitted baby sweater, and a foundation paper pieced quilt.

• Levi finishes Ann Thomas 1854 after two months of dedicated stitching, having taken it to Paris, London, Canada, Alaska, Mexico, and the Caribbean.
• She also finishes Santa Stops Here, making a few substitutions including using DMC 3865 instead of the called-for thread and red ruby slippers for the ribbon.
• Levi introduces her new Finish It Friday series, which will feature cross stitch, knitting, and sewing/quilting projects worked on exclusively until completion.
• She shows her next cross stitch WIP: Move Forward in Love by Modern Folk Embroidery, stitched on 18ct fabric she overdyed with pearl gray.
• Her knitting WIP is a baby sweater made from her friend's yarn, Sorrel's Love Story sock set, and she plans to make it short-sleeved.
• Her quilting WIP is a foundation paper pieced quilt using Tim Holtz rainbow fabric, with a goal to finish all blocks by the next Finish It Friday.
