All eleven in the series done. The true hold up was finding "Wise as an Owl". It was by far the most elusive chart. Now the challenge will be to decide which ones I next have framed. I am thinking a bird theme with the lark, goose and owl.

ReplyDeleteThanks for posting all of them together. Now I have a reference point if I ever want to try to collect them. lol! I love seeing them all together. You need to get them all framed and hung up somewhere!
ReplyDeletegreat finishes ♥
ReplyDeleteEach one of these is so cute that it is difficult to choose a favorite. I've been enjoying your photos of spring--all the beautiful plants & birds! Thanks for sharing via your blog. It truly brightens my day (& surely that of many others.)
ReplyDeleteLove all your animals in this post.
ReplyDeleteThank you for posting all of these together. I wasn't aware of stitching blogs when you first started stitching on these so I haven't seen some of the early ones before.
ReplyDeleteCongratulations on completing the series. Do you think they will make it a round dozen?
ReplyDeleteI think I came for the last four designs so it's lovely to see all the earlier ones too.
They're a great collection of designs, well done for completing the set.
ReplyDeleteWhat a great series! Kudos to you for sticking with it and stitching all of them. I like all of the sayings. It would be hard to say which one is a favorite. I really like the lark, goose and owl best I think. :)
ReplyDeleteA wonderful series of designs. Congratulations for completing them all.
ReplyDeleteWow what a great series. Congrats on all the wonderful finishes.
ReplyDeleteHello! I came across your site while looking for the “Curious as a Cat” cross stitch pattern. I know this is a very long shot but do you know of anywhere that is still offering to sell it?
