fccs's 2023 little guys

[fccs]

I started the Betsy Ross House.

[Serinde]

I see windows!

[Garnet]

What a great start! Such neat stitches.



Would this be the Betsy Ross of American flag legend?

[rcperryls]

Great start. Betsy would be very pleased to see her flag waving from her window I'm sure.

Yay! Always love your "little guys"

[Roland]

Very cute.

It would, indeed, be THE Betsy Ross.

I finished the Betsy Ross flag, my first finish of 2023.

[rcperryls]

for a great finish. And in early February! Is this going to go with the Betsy Ross house? Any other Betsy Ross designs in the future?

That looks lovely - I always find it difficult to get anything solidly stitched really neat.

Yes it will go with the Betsy Ross house. Technically the flag is called the Colonial Flag but I accidentally renamed it since I’m working on her house and her name is stuck in my mind. I’ll have to search Posy Collections to see if they have other designs that would go with these. They could make a nice wall hanging.

[Garnet]

Such neat stitches.

Beautiful.

I've done a little more on the Betsy Ross House. I put in the half stitch for the end of the rows on the right side of the roof so I don't have to keep looking at the chart when I do that large block of brown. I just put the top of the cross on the stitch when I get there. I did that before my trip to Virginia in case I wanted to work on it on the plane, but I worked on the flag instead.

[Serinde]

Looking good.

[Garnet]

This is coming along beautifully, you'll have it finished in next to no time.

You most certainly will!

[Mabel Figworthy]

Clever use of those half crosses!

[fccs]

I finished the Betsy Ross House (The Posy Collection). If you look back at the progress pic, you’ll notice the tree has changed colors. Yep, I used the wrong color and had to frog it.

[rcperryls]

I'm sure Betsy is very happy in this cozy house, stitching away. Congrats on your finish. Been there done that with thread colors. It is very annoying, even when the area isn't too big and is in one area.

[Serinde]

Well done!
