I made my excuse be the obligation to do one last thing for “Naughty November” (hosted by Rachel the Ten Hour Stitcher) and started something yesterday-Stacy Nash’s Summer Garden Roll: This is one short night of stitching on the border that shows the width. I don’t expect this to take as long as my other …
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 …
Gifted Gorgeousness
I don’t usually do a Gifted Gorgeousness post, but it’s that time of year to start thinking about Christmas gifts and I have a few I want to stitch up for some special people in my family. I don’t think they read my blog (if you are a family member reading my blog stop now …
Trick or Treat Blog Hop 2021!
Happy Fall and Happy Halloween! Welcome to my blog for the annual Trick or Treat blog hop! If you’ve arrived here apart from the blog hop and want to know what it’s all about, click over to Jo’s of Serendipitous Stitching to start at the beginning! Otherwise, read on! I don’t actually do a lot …
The People Choose…
LEAVES! One thing I love about Jo’s People’s Choice Blog Hop is running around looking at all my stitching and trying to find out what fits the month’s theme. That was especially true this month because I don’t know that I’ve ever stitched something that is only leaves, but I bet more than half the …
FFO Gallery October 2021
I wish I had something new and exciting to share this month but all I was able to do was pop my little sampler into a frame: I was going to try to make a hand painted frame like was shown in the model, but when I found this little “burled wood” one (I’m not …
The People Choose…
Sewing! I’ve always wondered if stitching about stitching is a little too self-referential. Of course the great artists painted themselves and others painting, and there is plenty of art that is simply about art so maybe I’m being too critical. And so many samplers have a verse or motto saying “my work” or referencing the …
August 2021 Smalls Check In
I was inspired this month to stitch up some very small smalls for the August SAL. They stitched up so quickly I didn’t have time for a progress picture so I saved them for you. First I did a little Shepherd’s Bush fob, I think it is called “Blooms.” It is very bright and cheery! …
Fully Finished Gallery August 2021
I’m linking up with Rachel for the Fully Finished Gallery this month to share with you the Italian Peacocks Purse by Giulia Punti Antichi! I just love how it turned out. The peacock purse frame was the way to go. I think it goes really well. I have not been able to find a chain …
July 2021 Fully Finished Gallery: Things with Wings
I can’t believe it’s time for another FFO Gallery link up! Thank you, Rachel for continuing to host this! This month evidently my personal theme is “Things with Wings.” I am proud to share my Amy Mitten Summer Casket Keepsake Butterfly for those who didn’t see it last week: And I have another butterfly to …
