Peace and Plenty - A Work in Progress

Thanks for all the welcome back comments. I thought I'd post again while I was still motivated. 

This is a stitchery I've been working at, on and off, for a while now.


It's another Leanne Beasely design and is called Peace and Plenty.


Leanne's sample is all in red but I felt like some colour for a change.


Although it looks rather grey in the photos, it is actually stitched on white Kona cotton.


I've just realised it's nearly the end of April and I haven't finished anything this month! There are plenty of UFOs in progress but I'm not sure whether I can finish anything by Friday night. Wish me luck!

    It's absolutely great...the stitching is wonderful and your color choices are beautiful. Don't waste your time worrying about finishing something, life is too short. You'll finish when you're ready. Lynne

    A very nice design. It is the third piece I have noticed that has the name "Piece & Plenty". I was expecting something different when I saw your post title. I got a very nice surprise when I looked.

    Love the sweetness of your stitchery, and the look on the cats face in the last picture, like he's sighing.
