Today I mentioned:

Cross stitch:

Under the Roof of Blue Ionian Weather (small) - Golden Kite - FINISHED
   18-count ivory Aida, 2 billion called-for DMCs and blends
   The original painting is by 19th-century artist Sir Lawrence Alma-Tadema

Christmas Pears - Annie Beez Folk Art (exclusive for Jingle Ball); 40-count unnamed pink/red linen by Tabby Cat Linens, DMC 3865 1-over-2.

A Quaker Pattern Book - With My Needle (Ellen Chester) - 56-count Albarium by Cedar River Linens and Designs, Soie surfine #2352

Snippet Tiger Stare - Charting Creations on 18-count Aida - color Sand, I think, from Zwiegart, with called-for DMCs.

Oscar Topsfield 1904 - Hands Across the Sea Samplers - 40-count something from Tabbycat Linens, 1-over-1 called-for DMCs.

Margaret Hutton - Hands Across the Sea - workshop with Nicola Parkman - 36-count Muddy Duck by Tabbycat Linens and called-for Soie d’Alger and 100.3 for the over-one elements

Hannah Green 1826 - Stitch-along starting January 1, going for 14 months, to end on March 1, 2026 (200 years after Hannah finished her sampler). I am using 36-count Just the Ticket (Tabbycat Linens) and the called-for DMC, 2 over 2. Email me if you would like to have me send you a PDF that shows the breakdown of sections that I am going to do, or watch my video #139 for more details. Please tag me and also use the hashtag (there is some question about how hashtags will be supported in Instagram …) @tworivers_58  #hannahgreen1826sal 

Change of sequence recommendation for following along with the SAL:

January-May, sections A-E plus one line of the over-one verse
June: section F, one line of the verse, start on L
July: section G, one line of the verse, continue on L
August: section H, one line of the verse, finish L
September: section I, one line of the verse, do the tree and birds from the left-hand section N
October section J, one line of the verse, start on M
November and December: Section K, continue on M, Hannah’s name, some of the over-one birds
January: finish section M, finish over-one birds
February: sections N, catch up on whatever else you have missed
March 1, 2026: put in the final stitches
