First posting in year 2008
I have been stitching but I did not complete the finishings. I don't really have any set plan for 2008. I want to try out new things as far as finishing technques and some sewing. I have purchased a few Judy Odell finishing booklets. I am trying out Vikki Clayton silk as well. I have stitched 2 projects and I love her silk so far and it is quite affordable. She has a great board with incentive when participating in the forum. I am trying to find a "Red" that I like to stitch some of my French charts. In 2008, I will still continue my Biscornu stitching and I am going to make a few strawberry emery type of finishing as well.

Such lovely things! I might have to make the rose one for my MIL - I think she'd like it. And those blue silk threads really POP!
Your strawberry is just gorgeous, great way to start the year off! :)
Anita,
Wow, what pretty things you've been stitching. I just love the bright and pretty colors. It was a real treat to look at when the weather here is so gray and gloomy.
Anita, you are the queen of biscornus! Beautiful finishes. Love the strawberry, too.
The biscornus are just beautiful, but that strawberry is amazing, it has such a delicate look to it!!
Your biscornus are so pretty and the strawberry is stunning!
Beautiful... as usual. Bravo: I love them all. And if haven't said so your: Happy New Year to you, dearest Anita
Gorgeous stuff as ever Anita! I'll be keen to see how you get on with the Judy Odell books - they are difficult to find in the UK but they look so interesting!

Anita, I surely have not to tell you how gorgeous your work is;-))) I have a question about the strawberries, what size does the fabic have, square or rectangle or round??? I would love to try one too...but I have none in my stash so I am wondering if I can do it by myself...
