1827 Biedermeier Sampler

The new year has started and that means, it is Crazy January Challenge again. Rather to start 15 new projects this year, I decided to do the alternative WIP challenge. I picked 12 projects, for each month one. I know, it should have been 15, but my projects are big and I have no bad feelings about skipping three. 

The whole list of projects can be found in the side bar on the right. They are in no particular order. I haven't even decided which project to stitch in which month. I'll just pick them up as I go.

Anyway, during January I am stitching the Biedermeier Sampler. It is a reproduction from a Sampler dated in 1827. I started this one with the Crazy January Challenge last year, but I didn't get more than a few stitches done. 
Now I've been stitching for about a week and almost a third of it is ready. 
I hope to finish the sampler this month, so I can move on to the next one. Though I am a little doubtful to finish all 12 projects this year. But lets see. After all there are 51 more weeks time.

This is such a beautiful piece! Great idea to pick one project per month - looking forward to seeing them :)

This is a beautiful sampler. I have decided to do the same as you and do 12 large WIP this year rather than start 15 more.
Happy Stitching
