More smalls!

Flag Day! I stitched a bit on this little thing called Strawberries and Stripes by Brenda Gervais: I’ll finish it soon. I’ll tell you its story with my finish. I also worked on this little Bristol inspired pin cushion by Haystack Stitching. It is part of the Jean Etui chart. It will be a little model for The Attic for […]

One bunny

I finished the stitching in the velvet carrot from Stacy Nash! We had a great camping trip up in central Arizona the week after Memorial Day. The weather was perfect, it was so nice to have a private group site for our 3 families that went together, and our meal plan worked out really good. We ate well! I didn’t […]

Found!

Hurray! I found my missing box of finishing materials! It turned out I had packed the box myself, it was an odd shape, and wasn’t well labeled, and had gotten mixed up with boxes of computer equipment the same dimensions. But you don’t need to know that! it was important to find it because I was desperate for felt to […]

A Bunny Rabbit

We are going camping this week! I decided to prep a project for easy, sit around, stitching. I outlined the bunny and flower on Stacy Nash’s Velvet Parsnip. It’s quite a cute design. I’m rethinking my ornaments idea…hmm. Now I”m imagining a bowl full of Stacy Nash fruits and veggies. All backed with velvet. So hard to decide on the […]

Larger Project Progress

I think I owe you an update on Sacred, which was supposed to be my Lenten stitch but (kept getting interrupted) and my Dorcas Haynes project, which has seen a few stitches put in since I last showed you. I don’t even want to bother with before and after pictures, or “best laid plans” that went to ruin or anything. […]

May Flowers

Mill Hill came out with their new seasonal kits recently and I really liked this one from the latest series…Mason Jar Mill Hill kits are usually a 2-3 session stitch for me…this one was really fun to do. I like ones with plenty of beads and color changes. I’ll finish it as a magnet.

2 More FFOs

I finished the Featherbeds Strawberry from Erica Michaels. It came out really well. Nearly perfect. I am patting myself on the back over this one. The flower and leaf pins are from The Glasshopper on Etsy and are a perfect complement. I love her pins. The silver bird is from another pin shop on Etsy…sweet and simple. Here is my […]

Cute

Two of my coworkers at the Attic were stitching something really cute from Nashville that I also had wanted to stitch…and said it is stitched up so quickly and we chatted and I got a good idea for a finish of it…so I came right home from work that day and kitted it up. I planned to show you my […]

All the things

I finally gave up on finding my finishing stuff box and bought new mat board. So! I could finish the funky little birdy I stitched last year on this little wooden box: I’m working in a couple other finishes I needed mat board for…they’ll be coming soon. While I had out my finishing stuff I mounted the little silk gauze […]

Featherbeds

After finishing off those pillows the other weekend I remembered another small from Nashville that I had wanted to do… The Featherbeds strawberry from Erica Michaels! Here’s my start: It’s on Paperbark from Fox and Rabbit with the called for threads. I really love the coverlet inspired pattern.
