DUCJFC 2016 - February 1 - AAN Maple Leaf WIP

Here we are in the second month of the challenge! After feeling some burn-out a couple weeks ago I reassessed what I was planning to stitch and changed things up a little bit with some advice from all of you and especially Rachel, the Ten-Hour Stitcher. Thank you again!

I pulled out another WIP today from last year's challenge, the AAN Maple Leaf. It will look like this when finished:

Last year's start got me here:
And tonight I managed to here:

I'm using WDW Blaze stitching 2 over 1 on 14 count Aida from Silkweavers. This may be a gift for my SIL or it may be something I keep for us. I kind of like the new Maple Leaf by Charting Creations, so I might have to keep that one for us. 
But I might finish this WIP relatively soon, and I haven't even purchased the other one, so we'll see. 

I also picked up Lucy to finish her off tonight:

Another fun one to finish!

Happy Stitching,

  5. Oh they are both beautiful. I personally like the top one more cause I like lines and swirly instead of block if that makes any sense at all haha. They are both beautiful though. Great job finishing off Lucy.
