Congratulations on a Finish-2025-6
Congratulations to Lori on completing this pretty piece called My Way. My Way is a Carolyn Mitchell design and was taught by her in a series of workshops offered to the Guild in the fall of 2024. Workshop participants were encouraged to make the piece their own by choosing their own colours. Many alternate design choices were also provided. >>>>
Congratulations on a Finish-2025-4
Congratulations to Lynne on completing this delightful Christmas kit. It's called Winter Barn and is from a Mill HIll collection called Winter Holiday. It's worked in perforated paper with DMC stranded cotton and a variety of Mill Hill beads.>>>>
Congratulations on a Finish-2025-3
Congratulations to Ginette on her the Christmas ornament that she made for the Virtual Threads ornament exchange. Ginette created this 3" design partly from her own ideas and partly from a combination of designs from a Just Cross-Stitch Christmas Ornaments magazine. It was sent to Ohio and I'm sure must have made somebody very happy!
Congratulations on a Finish-2025-2
Congratulations to Kimberley on her beautiful cross stitch of Hogwart's Castle. The artist of the piece is Julia Belaya and the chart designer is Anna Petunova.
