Here is my lovely ABC Heart! This was an old freebie from DMC. I don’t see it on DMC’s website anymore which is too bad, it’s such a nice design! I stitched with Caron Waterliles Silk Cherry and Chili on Picture This Plus Truffle. (the fabric is pinker than the picture shows-I need to try to get a better picture). […]
My smalls this month are terribly out of season but at least they are done in time for the Smalls SAL! (If you are interested in visiting the other participants in this SAL, please visit Heather at Stitching Lotus!) I succeeded in finishing this little design from Victoria Sampler’s Beyond Cross Stitch Learning Collection. This is Evergreen, number 4-2, where […]
Sometimes I’m just really irresponsible and I don’t do my plan but follow my whim. I did that this week and started up this DMC alphabet heart, which was an old freebie that I’d share if I could find the link, but it seems to have been removed from the DMC site. Here it is so far, half done! I’m […]
This is the first time I have ever participated in a blog hop! Thank you, Jo, at Serendipitous Stitching, for organizing this for us! We all sent a friendship or love themed project we had made to Jo, and she swapped them around to send us each one from Secret Stitching Sweetheart. Now our job is to visit all the […]
I am so excited to share with you the progress on Random Thoughts! I’ve kept working away on it and here is the top 3/4 of the center design, all done except for charms! The final motifs I was putting in involved quite a few special stitches that I was doing for the first time. I’m not sure how well […]
My goal for January was to complete part of a big project. I’m a day late but I have finished the Three Kings band of Heirloom Nativity! Ta Dah! I love working the decorative bands between the picture bands but I’m going to try my best to set this aside. My goal for February is to complete one part of […]
I’ve done a lot of stitching this month, all things considered, but this last week I had to take stock of where I was and finish something for the Smalls SAL hosted by Heather at Stitching Lotus. This one was the best bet for a quick finish so here it is! Bird N Blossoms by Homespun Elegance. I believe the […]
My progress is scattered over several projects these days. I was working away on the Three Kings of the Heirloom Nativity and I got this far: when suddenly I felt like I should work on the sadly neglected Joyful World. October is coming together: Then I remembered I planned to do a couple motifs in Random Thoughts to stay on […]
My first finish of 2018 is “Boughs of Holly” for the Christmas Ornies SAL: Our themes this year are “12 Days of Christmas” or “Christmas Carol of the Month.” I did Boughs of Holly for “Deck the Halls,” the January Carol. This is a kit from Victoria Sampler, part of the learning collection. This one, set 2 #3, is to […]
I’m diving right in to a new batch of smalls! First of all, I wanted to make the Mill Hill violin which is the last in the Holiday Harmony series. Next, for the Christmas ornies SAL the theme for January is Partridge in a Pear Tree or Deck the Halls. I made a partridge last year so I’m going with […]
