I finished Vintage Mini Pinwheel by Threadwork Primitives to share with you for the Smalls check in this month. It will be an easy FFO (a round pinwheel) and I even found some perfect little pins to stick in it. You’ll see it again soon for the April FFO gallery. What have you been working …
Spring Smalls
In the midst of working on my bigger projects I don’t want to neglect monthly smalls stitching! I have 2 little ones I’m picking up here and there. This is Flowers by Lizzie Kate. When the designer announced her retirement several years ago I stocked up on her designs for my collection and this was …
Catherine Agnes 2
I’m closing in on Catherine Agnes from Indigo Rose! Here is what I accomplished since last time: I charted the left alphabet border to put in the year instead of my initials. I stitched the specialty stitch left inner border. I put in 2 more motifs, and almost finished the embellishment of the 2 left …
People’s Choice: Spring
For March, the People have chosen Spring as the theme of the blog hop. I have a few springy stitches to share. Here is one I made last year which you might remember, Jeannette Douglas’ Jump Into Spring: This piece also from last year also seems springy to me, it is called Pensee Sauvage from …
Catherine Agnes
I spent some good time with Catherine Agnes last week and have made some excellent progress on her. I hope to finish this one in March. Last time I was telling you how each of the motifs uses several different stitches. So this one here is detached buttonhole (needle lace) and rhodes stitch and queen …
February 2021 Smalls Check In
For my small this month I’m sharing the little piece I made for the Secret Stitching Sweetheart blog hop on Valentines Day. The recipient of my stitched Valentine was Astrid of Dragon Stitches. I had stitched it just for this event so it would be a surprise I had not shared before! And now it’s …
Slow Progress.
This was supposed to be an end of January progress report but that didn’t work out. Sorry! It’s definitely slower stitching these days. Many tiny tiny stitches make it seem like one stitching session doesn’t result in much progress. But over time it adds up I guess. I finished the 4th inner wing of Amy …
People’s Choice: Birds!
This is a People’s Choice theme for which I have a lot to share! I just LOVE to stitch birds! I am excited to share some of my favorites again with you! How about this very old one, Wise Old Owl from Raise the Roof? This was stitched before I started blogging and I’m not …
February 2021 FFO Gallery
Barely sneaking in at the end of the link up, I have some trimmed up hearts for my FFO’s this month. Thank you Rachel for hosting us! First is Token of Love from Samplers Not Forgotten: Instead of ruching the ribbon and then sewing it on, this time I ruched as I went. Boy that …
