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 …
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 …
Queen of Hearts
(I have edited this with some additional tips for success when making hearts-best wishes if you use these directions to make a heart!) I’m the Queen of Hearts this weekend, making up all my heart shaped stitches for February. I dug through my finishes to come up with 6 hearts that wanted finishing, and since …

At My Own Pace

Last start of 2020, first start of 2021

October FFO Gallery
We were on fall break this past week* so I didn’t have a lot of time to finish things up, so I tried to get most of it done before we left. I also didn’t have too much recently stitched to FFO anyway. I made the Pensee Sauvage by Samplers Not Forgotten into a pillow …
A little finish, and a big WIP
This weekend I finished stitching Pensee Sauvage from Samplers Not Forgotten. What a sweetie! This was a kit, and it will be finished as a pillow, though I think it would be really cute in a frame too. I do like the fabric included for finishing. I have been working away nearly every night on …
Pansy
I finished the Pansy on Pensee Sauvage today (it is my pool stitching at the moment). Just the border is left to do…2 or 3 sessions I figure depending on how long the kids swim. I am stitching with 2 ply instead of one and know I am going to run out of the Weeks …
Secret Little Starts
I am going to confess a little habit I have. I sometimes, on a whim, steal a few minutes of what is not my official stitching time (meaning maybe I was in the middle of folding laundry or tidying something up) to put the first few stitches in a new project. Then I put it …
