I am doing a CHS stocking SAL with Annemarie at Orts & Ends and Barbara at Mainely Stitching. No deadlines, no pressure, I just have to post every Thursday my progress. Two stitches count as progress, yeah!
I received this stocking as a gift and I hated not working on it when quite a bit of money was spent on something I had to have. So after reading Ort & Ends blog, I emailed Annemarie to ask her if I could join in the fun.
I am stitching the stocking on 36ct. Pearled Barley with NPI. Please check back next Thursday, for more progress. I need to be kept on task until completed. Sometimes I feel like I have ADD and can be easily distracted by a new design. Know what I mean?
I thought I would share one of the covered bridges of Putnam County. I have four covered bridges with 15 minutes of my house. There use to be quite a few more in this area but they were lost to floods or arson. They did come in handy during the buggy wagon era. People use to pull into them to get out of the weather.
I also thought I would share with you an old building on the DePauw Campus in Greencastle. It is one of the those building that you drive by and don't notice any more. Although I don't know how, it looks so stately.
(I hate it when the pictures post out of order.) Thanks for stopping by and leaving comments.

Tanya, I hope your stocking goes well! Pretty area you live in!
Tanya - Any progress is good progress! I think you'll have a great time stitching that stocking. Can't wait to see what progress you make in the next week. And I love your pictures of the area around where you live.
ooh, I love the colors for virtuous woman. I was going to start my stocking today, but decided to get the called for fabric for it (40 ct. Meadow Rue). I want to save my Pearled Barley for Wild Roses - who knows when I'll get to it, but I really want to stitch it one day! :)
Well look at these lovely pictures you have! I have a picture myself of that exact covered bridge! You know I've never been to De Paul...but I've seen pictures and it has a beautiful campus.
Good luck on your stocking start! And have a happy weekend :)
Oh Tan, you are making me homesick!!!! I am missing those covered bridges!!! I can't wait to see your progress on the stocking, know it will be lovely!
Tanya, I loved seeing pics of your area! I've only ever driven through Indiana on my way to & from the Chicago area, so it's nice to see pics from there. Lovely--especially that covered bridge!
Good luck with the stocking SAL. I am soo tempted to join you all but am in the spazzed must-have-stuff-for-framing mindset. I'll enjoy watching your progress.
Good luck stitching your stocking, Tanya! Love the covered bridge picture - thanks for sharing!
Thanks for those gorgeous pictures, Tanya!
I can't wait to see your first progress pic next week. This really is a very beautiful stocking. As for the startitis problem, join our club. Again :o)
I love the tulips in your banner. A sure sign of spring. I've always wanted to do the CHS stockings. Can't wait to see your progress. I like the photos of your area, too. Very nice.
Virtuous Woman is a great design and has beautiful colors. I love the verse on it. Can't wait to see your progress!
Your photos were wonderful and it's nice to see a picture of covered bridge that is still in existence!
I just love those CHS stockings, Tanya. I can't wait to see your progress.
I am most jealous of your covered bridges. I hope you post photos of the others sometime. Your part of the country looks so beautiful.
