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 line and the J for […]
I had prepared this post for February’s Gifted Gorgeousness but got distracted and didn’t post it! Sorry! I think the issue was I had not taken my pictures! I do not have an intermediate picture-just the most current views…oh well. Anyway, I was working on the Victoria Sampler Heirloom Anniversary as a gift for my parents for their 50th anniversary […]
Many thanks again to Rachel for giving me a reason to FFO some pieces this month and share them with you! I finished up the Sugar Plum Fairy from Satsuma Street. The designer sent me a whole new bead packet and guess what? It’s a good thing I asked her about this because the packet that came in my kit […]
I saw this charming bee skep pin cushion at The Attic many years ago. It was not an item for sale but something on the desk for the staff to use. Well…last year it piqued my interest again and I hunted the internet for bee hive pin cushion. Lo and behold, I found it! It was a kit from Teresa […]
Hello Friends! It is (past) time for the February Smalls Link Up! I’m so sorry this post is late! Several of my family members have been sick (not Covid!) and we had a big event last night (Friday) for the start of the softball season. I was in charge of the activities on the fun field and got totally preoccupied! […]
Baseball season is in full swing (ha ha) here and soon I’ll have 4 kids on 4 teams. This weekend it was *only* 3 on 3 and I got to do the honors of taking the #1 son to his travel games. That meant lots of stitching time!! I made great progress on Heirloom Anniversary! The boys have to be […]
I am on schedule for this month. I have duly stitched on my alphabet samplers. I haven’t done more on my Jeannette Douglas ABC Sampler (I had made the progress I had planned) but here is the Drawn Thread Sampler of Stitches with ABC and J all completed: I will tell you that selecting my own colors keeps me on […]
Happy St. Valentine’s Day, my friends! I received a lovely stitched Valentine for the Secret Stitching Sweetheart blog hop…is it yours? What lovely delicate stitching to show off a beautiful charm! And it’s a perfect heart shape which is a finish I surely appreciate! Well, whoever you are, thank you, secret stitching friend! And for those who are continuing the […]
I’m linking up with Rachel the Ten Hour Stitcher to persevere in my finishing this month! First, I made the Milady’s Needle stitch into a pin cushion. It was impossible to find a matching trim color. What I wanted was a dark green chenille but no one seems to make or carry the correct shade. I did not want to […]
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 Drawn Thread’s Sampler of Stitches […]
