I've decided to join in with Heather's theme-a-licious monthly themes.
Just an excuse to post a picture of The Doctor on my blog really.
Anyway January's theme was "Jardin January" in which we were to work on any piece with gardens or flowers. This piece doesn't have any flowers as such but it does have berries which means there must have been flowers at some point right? This is "Holly Sampler Pouch" by Threadwork Primitives, stitched using the recommended silks. It's a little different in size to the one on the pattern cover due to a bit of a close call on the fabric size. It's a hanging pocket, the idea is to put cards or sprigs of greenery in it. I had hoped to have it finished for Christmas (hence last years's date on it) but that didn't happen. Never mind, it's ready for next year.
And finally the winner of the Grow Your Blog Party Giveaway, that's why you are all reading this anyway.
I put the numbers of the comments into the random number generator and it gave me back the number

Congrats to Cathy and don't worry I am always having to frog my work from miscounting!
Congrats to Cathy!
Counting over 3 would be weird, not so bad doing the stitching but counting the spaces between letters, 123, 123, 123 like doing a waltz!
Love your Christmas stitching.
Congratulations Cathy.
Lovely finish on the pocket. I imagine stitching over three would take some comcentration.
Love the pocket finish Christine. Hmm over three , more like a polka featuring frogs for me,123 hop,123 hop . That was Jo's fault.
Hugs
Congrats to Cathy. Pretty holly berries too. I was wondering, could you stitch the letters over two and add the third thread that you would have stitched in the letter; between the letters? That way you would be able to stitch over two and keep the same width of the design. Kaplah!
If it grows, it totally counts for Jardin January. =) I love the way you finished it, it's beautiful!
I haven;t even bee lurking but now I am trying to make up for it. Your theme pocket is extremely nice, Monthly themes will encourage your to do some stitching and finishing. Over three??? Eeek, that would not happen in this house - too hard to keep track of it.
Congratulations to the winner! I love the finish on that sampler... beautiful work! :D
Hugs,
