This is my first year taking part in the Stick6in23 SAL hosted by Martina and Manuela, you can find out all about the SAL on either of their blogs and also see the wonderful work they both do. I believe there is also a list of other people taking part on Manuela's blog so we can go and enjoy their work too.
The number generated at the beginning of the year was No, 4 and the chart I had assigned that number to was April by The Prairie Schooler.
I used all the called for DMC colours and the fabric is 28 count with a soft mottling, which unfortunately doesn't show in the photos.
Started 1st January 2023 Finished 17th February 2023
I love stitching houses and how sweet is this little pink house complete with picket fence, It's what drew me to the chart but I loved stitching every bit of it
And here is the whole thing.
It's now in the hands of the framers, I've opted to have it framed in the same style as my January Piece, which you can see here. They have a back-log on framing but fingers crossed I will have it home ready to display for the month of April and I will show you how it looks then.
Martina has drawn the number 2 to be worked on in March and April, I'm so happy because I assigned the number 2 to a chart my daughter bought me a couple of Christmas's' ago. I can't wait to get started.
I do have another couple of finishes to show but haven't taken any photos yet, so perhaps next week I will get round to doing that.
Have a good week all

That's such a lovely design and it's stitched beautifully. How lovely to have specific pieces to display at specific times of the year, a lovely way to celebrate the different months and seasons.
Love your finish, lots of counting, love the colours, and your next project is a love of yours already, can't wait to see it.
