While I probably could have made some more progress on the Bargello Roll or really anything else, I guess I needed some more instant gratification or more feelings of productivity! I went ahead and finished the other little small I mentioned last time. Since it’s still August I’ll go ahead and share it now. It …
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 …
Sampler Roll Finished!
Last night I managed to finish the Sampler Roll! It is super cute. I love the houses. Stitching the alphabets was fun, especially the pink one. The borders were easy. I added the little hearts next to the birds and think that looks good as my own touch. This was a nice stitch. I discovered …
Little houses, little houses
I am working on the Sampler Roll this week. In fact I am hoping it will be finished in about a week. It is easy stitching now…the rest of the bottom alphabet, and easy little bottom border… And filling in the shadow sides of all the little houses! After 4 tries I think I finally …
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 …
July 2021 Smalls Check In
It’s time again for our Smalls Check In! Can you believe it is been 5 whole weeks since last we met? I enjoy these months were we have extra time. Or rather I take advantage of them to get a few more stitches! This month is unusual for me too because for the first time …
Rolls
It’s the third week of July and I have just been plugging away on my various projects! I’ve gotten back into my Bargello Roll. Look! It is about half finished! I am patiently waiting on some other thread choices for my Sampler Roll houses and in the meantime have been working on grass, alphabets, trees… …
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 …

Let the People Choose: Houses
The People’s Choice theme for July is Houses! This is perfect for me because this month I picked up a little piece that has not one, not two, but 10 houses on it! I have almost all the houses built. I couldn’t do the shadow side of the houses yet because I don’t like the …
