This was a little goal I had in my head for this month…to finish the alphabet part of Jeannette Douglas’s ABC Sampler. I figured if I could get my colors sorted for the ABCs, the little band and spot motifs on the bottom at least would have colors I could choose from, and there would …
WIP MAYnia #6! The final one!
My final WIP for this May was the ABC Sampler by Jeannette Douglas. I started here… And just did one night stitching. I was quick and got 4 new letters done. B, D, K, and Y. I am more happy and confident with my colors. I still need to change the black U for purple. …
Heirloom Anniversary is DONE! And now I can enjoy a WIP MAYnia!
I got really bogged down in the Heirloom Anniversary the past few months. I think “obligation stitching” will do that. If you know you are “supposed” to be stitching something, it can become something of a chore! But a happy chore nonetheless! And here it is, my Heirloom Anniversary Square! If I do say so …

The People Choose…
Series of designs! Thank you, Jo for providing such an interesting theme to discuss! I enjoyed thinking on this topic, and look forward to others’ posts as well! Even though from my blog posts it may not seem like I don’t do much stitching of series, I certainly do a lot of collecting for it! …
Birthday Stitching and the End of Month Report

Mid March Progress Report
I’ve been stitching away on a variety of projects this month. It’s kind of been a hodgepodge and this update is long overdue! Here is Jeannette Douglas’s ABC Sampler with a few letters added: As I’ve been working on this I have been questioning some of my colors. The color used in the double dividing …
A work plan for this year
I am glad it is February so I can work on my alphabet samplers. I have come up with a bit of a plan for managing my huge pile of stitching for the year. What I will try to do is spend the first 7 to 10 days of the month doing my alphabets: the …
Now I Know My ABCs…and Os, Us, and Vs
It seems like alphabets have been finding their way to my needle these days. I’ve made a good start on the alphabet part of Stacy Nash’s Summer Garden Roll… It looks like I need to catch up with the border, and get started on the huge vase of flowers that goes in the middle under …
Happy New Year! A 2021 Summary
In 2021 I had 28 finishes. It is much less than the number of finishes as 2020 (42 I think?) but most of them were a good deal more complex. And several of them were off my “bucket list,” projects I deemed to be high priorities in my stitching career. I also had a good …
The First Thread: a trio of “Naughty November” starts.
Can it be the 3rd Monday or November already? It is! In the USA it is Thanksgiving this Thursday. After Thanksgiving I spend the rest of the year attempting to apply the brakes as we rush towards Christmas, hoping to maintain a sense of peace and calm through Advent. But with the kids’ excitement, and …
