First Finish of the Year

Yesterday I put the final stitches in my first project of the year. I began it on January 1st, and finished January 3rd.

I Love Canada, designed by unknown

The design is called I Love Canada, but I have no idea who the designer is or any other information about it. I was only given the chart and was told that it was a freebie design at some point. I think I remember being told that the designer has retired, but I really don’t know.

I used DMC 3865 and GAST Buckeye Scarlet. The fabric is 32 count Belfast in colour Heritage from Enchanting Lair.

Hopefully all the rest of my stitching this year will go just as well and just as quickly! 😉

    It’s so cute! My immediate reaction on seeing the first picture was “I MUST have it!” Sad to hear that there’s no way to get it.

    Congratulations on your first lovely finish of the year! I honeymooned in Canada and as I have sworn never to fly again it will likely be the only far-off country I ever visit! 🙂
