Autumn Quakers…what can I say? It has become a completely engrossing stitch as I near the finish. All I have left is a monogram for inside that green wreath at the bottom right and the last large leafy motif at the bottom left. I had my iron out so I pressed the whole thing to give you a nice picture […]
At the beginning of October I had GOALS. I met them. I am proud! Yay! I finished (FFO’d) the 2 small projects I wanted to get done. I got the stitching done on 2 “bonus” smalls: And, I made great progress on Autumn Quakers: The little mauve leaf at the bottom right is the bottom of the sampler. So I […]
Happy Halloween and Happy Fall from me and my Just Nan Owls!! Today I’m participating in Jo’s (of Serendipitous Stitching) Halloween Blog Hop! It’s a chance to Trick or Treat at the participating blogs. Your treat is some fall/Halloween stitching AND a letter. Collect all the letters and return to Jo’s to submit the secret message you discover! This week […]
My 1st small finish this month was unexpected and not what I planned! I needed a project to grab quickly and take along with me as I knew I would be waiting a while, and it turned into one of my smalls for this month! I have finally finished my crewel rocking horse ornament from Jiffy Stitchery! If you remember, […]
Today I finished the stitching on Oakley Owlet. I will get it finished up into an owl shape in the next day or so. I have done one of these owls before and it is not too hard. So, I started another Just Nan small, this is the needlebook called Lady Scarlet’s Secret Garden. It is the piece that goes […]
I’m very close on Oakley Owlet thanks to a return to weekend baseball tournaments. They are limiting fans so we are livestreaming my #1 son’s games from home. Convenient! Can you tell I’ve made progress on Autumn Quakers since last week? I can. But then when I pull it out of the hoop and look at the big picture, I […]
Over fall break, I only got a little bit of stitching done on Oakley Owlet. I just could not stitch in the car on the windy roads we were on, and after all the hiking each day, I was too tired to stay up and stitch! So here is my tiny little start: Once home I was eager to get […]
We were on fall break this past week* so I didn’t have a lot of time to finish things up, so I tried to get most of it done before we left. I also didn’t have too much recently stitched to FFO anyway. I made the Pensee Sauvage by Samplers Not Forgotten into a pillow per the kit instructions. Oh […]
I’m loving my October stitches so far! Here’s the first few days’ work on Autumn Quakers. I’ve completed 2 more of the bigger motifs, started some others, and added several smaller ones. I’ve made it to the right edge. Woo hoo! And I got the stitching done on Chubby Bird. I think I’ll leave off the words. This gets finished […]
I have stitched on I Bathya from Hands Across the Sea about 24 days this month. Here is how much I got finished: Not too bad! I’m pleased with the result from that many days. She’s a very slow stitch due to having to learn stitches and techniques to get it as good as possible and not mess it up […]
