I made my excuse be the obligation to do one last thing for “Naughty November” (hosted by Rachel the Ten Hour Stitcher) and started something yesterday-Stacy Nash’s Summer Garden Roll: This is one short night of stitching on the border that shows the width. I don’t expect this to take as long as my other roll, the Bargello roll! The […]
It’s the penultimate Smalls check in of 2021! Here we are again friends! I finished the Mill Hill cupcake for my sister in law. I am definitely making this one again for me.

Oh boy, I have a lot of FFOs to share this month so I’m making 2 posts! First up are the framed pieces. I like to get frames from Hobby Lobby and frame things myself. They have been out of “good” frames for a long time due to supply issues but when I was in last month they were finally […]
