This is a People’s Choice theme for which I have a lot to share! I just LOVE to stitch birds! I am excited to share some of my favorites again with you! How about this very old one, Wise Old Owl from Raise the Roof? This was stitched before I started blogging and I’m not sure I ever shared it! […]
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 was a lot faster and […]
Happy St. Valentine’s Day! It is time for Jo’s annual Secret Stitching Sweetheart Blog Hop! All the participants send in a photo of some Valentine stitching or crafting and Jo returns to us a picture from a secret stitcher! On Valentine’s day we hop to each blog to find our stitching and reveal ourselves to the recipient. This year I […]
(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 I find hearts to be […]
Welcome to the first installment of the 2021 Smalls Blog Hop! For all you smalls stitchers out there, it is a chance to link up to share any little thing you’ve completed this month! If you have never participated before, why not join us this year (you can actually join in at any time and just participate in the months […]
I’ve been working on my various projects these past 2 weeks, just going along at my own pace. I haven’t felt like I’ve made a lot of progress so I haven’t been posting. But it’s been a while so I thought I should share anyway. Here’s where everything stands: My small for this month will be Token of Love from […]
I’m linking up with Rachel, the Ten Hour Stitcher again this year to share my FFO’s (Fully Finished Objects) each month. This blog hop is wonderful motivation to keep those finished pieces out of a drawer and instead get them up on display! My first FFO’s of 2021 are framed pieces. First, I framed The Pink Sparrow Sampler by Brenda […]
Favorite designer of 2020! Jo of Serendipitous Stitching has asked those of us linking up for People’s Choice to share the favorite designer we stitched in 2020. Friends, for me it just has to be The Drawn Thread! I stitched so much in 2020 but the piece I just really loved stitching the most was Toccata One designed by Cynthia […]
On December 31st I made one very last new start for 2020. This is Token of Love by Samplers Not Forgotten. I fell in love with this Nashville kit and had to have it. I was planning to start it all year and never got to it. Well look! After all I did start it in 2020! I think I […]
What a year it has been! I will reflect on it more as I go, but truly, I have had a really good stitching year! 43! Yes OVER FORTY finishes! That is 43 projects for which the stitching is finished! Now a few of them were started before this year, but still finishing off that many has blown my mind! […]
