Oh dear! I let time get away from me and didn’t get my FFOs finished and posted in time for the FFO Gallery Link Up! I’m sorry Rachel! But I did get some FFO’s done, so I’m posting these anyway! First up is my Christmas Pin Pillow by Kathy Barrick. I’m really happy with how …
Couching and Satin Stitch
All I’ve done lately is couching and satin stitch. Couching metal threads on my fancy butterflies: Satin stitch on the bargello and anniversary piece: I finished the black outlines on the Bargello. This is how big it is and how much filling I have to do! Wow! It will be a lot of work but …
May Wrap Up and More New Things
It was a good month. I stitched a lot, but of course I never stitch as much as I want to! I must be happy with the time I have and what I got done in it, and that’s what this post is about. I already shared with you my 2 finishes and FFO, the …

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 …
December 2020 FFOs
I’m linking up with Rachel the Ten Hour Stitcher for the last Fully Finished Object Gallery of 2020! I was not sure I could get any of my pieces FFO’d this month so anything counts as a triumph! First, of course I HAD to do my daughter’s rocking horse ornament. Here it is on the …
