I have been working on the Grapes band of Dorcas Haynes. At my present rate of stitching, it looks like I will finish the outline of the grapevine this week! I should have the satin stitch and herringbone fillings well started by the end of April. Yay! I don’t think I’ve mentioned what I’m stitching on or with. I am […]
It was a baseball weekend. I got a lot of stitching in. It looks like I will have a small to share this month. Yay!
You all are hardly going to believe this, but at last I have a fully finished object to share with you! I don’t even remember the last time I finished something off! Here is my Acts of Goodness pin pillow from the new book, Moments of Glad Grace by Blackbird Designs. I guess I got the stitching done in March. […]
I am very happy with the colors. Here is band 2. It was a very straightforward stitch. Now to start band 3. That will have more challenges! I have continued to think about focusing on Dorcas this year. If I wanted to finish on December 25, I think I’d have to divide it up something like this… The plan would […]
I started adding color to the first band of Dorcas Haynes, part of trying out my own color scheme. I have spent a lot of time sorting and matching colors on this so I’m a bit nervous but also have a fair level of confidence…Here is how it’s looking. Compare mine which is the middle one between two “Darlene O’Steen” […]
I mentioned last month that I have some things I’m excited about as I return to normal life and regular stitching…one of those is Dorcas Haynes. I gave her a start in 2021, but didn’t care for the colors in the Scarlet Letter version which is the only one available to me. I did some sleuthing, and with some luck […]

It is now hosted by Rachel, the Ten Hour Stitcher and you can see the link post here: Smalls SAL Link Up March 2024 And here is my contribution, […]

Nashville Market is an inspiring time of year at a needlework shop. Seeing so many new things just makes you want to buy it all and stitch it all and all at once! Not having some much stitching lately and having my stuff packed up makes me especially vulnerable to this sort of market fever! So…I have a couple new […]
I have finally gotten around to unpacking my smalls, and I have made a new vignette for my display by the front door! I had purchased a large pedestal stand for my Advent candles this year. (I never found a wreath I liked, so I just got this pedestal stand and put big pillar candles on it with some greenery […]
