A is for Anchor is finished except for the actual "A". I haven't decided what colour to stitch it yet. The recommended DMC thread 3857 is very dark so I don't think the A will stand out if I use it. I think I will decide after I have stitched a few letters. I have swapped a few colours in this piece. The crab I stitched in a salmon red DMC 3830 as I felt it was more lifelike. I also swapped the 3857 thread for 221 on the left anchor.
I have stitched about one-third of the next letter too, B is for Blackbird. The mother and baby blackbirds are darlings on top of the pie. So far I have used the recommended colours.
Until next time, happy stitching…

So beautiful xx
Looks amazing so far! Great job, Jan :D
Great start of the letter B!
This is looking great! The crab is cute :)
Great progress!Such cute designs.
Great progress! Love your colour changes. I think the gold from the block above the A would make a good contrast for the letters, depending of course on what the other letters look like!
Great progress Jan. The A looks fantastic.

Great progress!
Praairie Schooler designs are always so popular, yours is looking wonderful Jan.
Jan, this looks fantastic!! You made great progress on the letter B square, too! I'll be starting B this week as I've been trying to catch up on some other WIP's here.
I also changed the red for the letter A block to DMC 3777, but it still was much too dark for my liking. I'm going to leave it "as is" but will definitely be changing any future letters so they'll pop a bit more.
You are doing a wonderful job!
Your stitching looks so nice and crisp! Great color choices, especially the crab!
This is one of my favourite SALs onlne. I like the design but it's not one I would stitch myself so it's great to watch you and Kevin doing all the work!!
Great progress, it's looking lovely
