Fully Finished Object for April 2024

You all are hardly going to believe this, but at last I have a fully finished object to share with you! I don’t even remember the last time I finished something off! Here is my Acts of Goodness pin pillow from the new book, Moments of Glad Grace by Blackbird Designs. I guess I got the stitching done in March. […]

A Glitch

My blog has been down. I am sorry. I guess my service had a widespread failure. It seems to be working again. I just want to let you all know that Mary’s Thread goes on, and eventually I will post some new stitching for you!

A break

Happy March! Here is Arizona it is coming in like a lion with an exceptionally windy day. I hope we don’t lose any trees! I am writing a quick post to let you all know I am taking a break for a little bit. I will still check in with an FFO mid month, and a Small for the end […]

January 2023 Smalls Link Up

Hello friends! It is time for the first Smalls Link Up of 2023! I can hardly believe it but here we are! Here is my (medium) small for this month, The Philanthropic Pumpkin from Hands on Design. I am looking forward to the finishing actually, it will be very very cute and I have some adorable pumpkin pins to stick […]

Reinvigorating

I felt like I needed to reinvigorate my stitching life. I had so many plans for September that didn’t work out. I think I stitched 2 tiny leaves? bushes? whatever on Bathya, but didn’t get further than that. Why? I don’t know! I don’t really carry Bathya around with me to work on because I feel like she’s too intense […]

July 2022 Fully Finished Object

My Fully Finished Object for the July Gallery is the Blue Flower Pindrum by La D Da. I did my best! It is stuffed with poly beads on the bottom for weight, sawdust for stiffness in the middle, and fiber fill on the top to be easy to stick the pins in. I have done enough pindrums now to learn […]

Full Finishes Part Two: Smalls!

Continuing the banner month of FFO’s for Rachel’s FFO Gallery here are the Smalls I finished up this month. I bought a little Sudberry House pin cushion for Jeannette Douglas’ Fall Posey. I went with a twisted cord instead of the suggested chenille trim. I just couldn’t find a color I loved with it and pom poms were too “fun” […]

Mary’s July Small and Vacation

Well, this king took me much longer than I thought it would! Part of that was because it turned out that our vacation was one of those vacations when I just didn’t have any time to stitch. We had a good little getaway to San Diego and Carlsbad, CA. Highlights of the trip included the San Diego zoo, and Mission […]

December 2020 (Christmas Day!) Smalls Check In

Merry Christmas! With the last Friday of the month also being Christmas, I am late posting this! But maybe nobody is going to be fussing with blog updates today anyway! I have nothing new since my Advent Calendar post. This is my small finish for the month, Jeannette Douglas’ Cozy Into Winter. I didn’t have a chance to do anything […]
