Well, darn, it’s actually July 30 this post was supposed to go up around the week of July 22 when I had spent a good weekend with Dorcas bus I never got my pictures taken! So here it is, back dated to the proper point of progress, and hopefully I’ll have EVEN MORE PROGRESS by the end of the week! […]
I have an “instant gratification” stitch for a small this month. It’s Crowning Glory from Summer House Stitche Workes. I love the Slate Gloriana on the Straw Weeks. Very regal but also prim. My friend loaned me her chart after I was able to find the crown that you place the stitching into. Thank you, friend!! I’m so happy I […]
Here is my progress on Dorcas. Nothing new figured out at this point, just continuing the work! I have the outline of the top acorn band complete. And, a bigger triumph, I got the Montenegrin stitched outline of the floral arcade finished this morning. Those curlicues were really difficult to figure out. They are not perfect by any means. The […]
I am loving my 2 WIPs, Sacred and Dorcas Haynes. I’ve been able to stitch a lot on them this first week of July. Here is my progress on Sacred… You can see I’ve gotten quite a bit done this week. O Most Holy Heart of Jesus fountain of every blessing…stitching a prayer is a nice meditative thing to do, […]
I spent what stitching time I had on vacation working on Sacred by Teresa Kogut. I didn’t get as much done as I hoped, but it is looking good! We spent the week with my family at Lake Wawasee in Indiana. We had one stormy day (we had Stitching Club in the hotel with my mom and 2 of my […]
One of my sweet co-workers at The Attic has been working on the creation of a silk conversion. It has been laid out on a table percolating until it reaches a state of perfection. I have to walk by it everyday, with it calling my name, the siren song of my favorite autumnal colors in glorious Glorianas. This week, I […]
Well, you’re getting one! This should be the second to last one. Then I will start posting about the acorns band but you probably won’t get so many posts about acorns! It is not so intense. Maybe the many posts reflect the real time it has been to get through all the queen stitches. I think they look great though. […]
It took less than an hour to stitch up this tiny one inch square project from Old Colonial Designs…. It gets finished as a tiny horn book. You can put a magnet on it to create a needleminder or make it into a little scissor fob or ornament, which is what I did. Now isn’t that cute? I just need […]
I worked as much as I could this weekend on the strawberry band. It is coming along! Now that I have all the counting and method figured out it’s just the work. Queen stitches are a lot of work but they are so beautiful. The vine of course is very easy. I feel confident I will get this band done […]
Slowly slowly I’m getting through the Strawberry Band. Here I have almost half of it done. This weekend I put the little leaves on the berries, satin stitch, and started on the queen stitch leaves, which have many partial stitches. Here’s a close up: The Scarlet Letter graph is not very useful because it just gives the outline of the […]
