I’m linking up with Jo of Serendipitous Stitching for a picture heavy post of my creative efforts this month, including a few gifts! First of all, the banner image features our mantel with the gorgeous needlepoint stockings my mom made and gave each of us over the years. I’ve shared them before but they are so special they must be […]
I was not able to get an FFO post this month because we’ve been so, so busy! My sister in law was visiting and I’ve been baking and making and cleaning and decorating. Maybe I should share some pictures so you can see how I’ve been using my stitching time, because truly it has been on the back burner these […]
Continuing the banner month of FFO’s for Rachel’s FFO Gallery here are the Smalls I finished up this month. I bought a little Sudberry House pin cushion for Jeannette Douglas’ Fall Posey. I went with a twisted cord instead of the suggested chenille trim. I just couldn’t find a color I loved with it and pom poms were too “fun” […]
Oh boy, I have a lot of FFOs to share this month so I’m making 2 posts! First up are the framed pieces. I like to get frames from Hobby Lobby and frame things myself. They have been out of “good” frames for a long time due to supply issues but when I was in last month they were finally […]
I wish I had something new and exciting to share this month but all I was able to do was pop my little sampler into a frame: I was going to try to make a hand painted frame like was shown in the model, but when I found this little “burled wood” one (I’m not sure it is real burled […]
I’m linking up with Rachel over at Ten Hour Stitcher for the monthly gallery of full-finishes! This month I went ahead and finished up my August Smalls. Here is the Bloom fob from Shepherd’s Bush made into a tiny pillow: Isn’t that fun ribbon? To finish as the model showed, the ribbon on the fob gets tacked down with pearl […]
I can’t believe it’s time for another FFO Gallery link up! Thank you, Rachel for continuing to host this! This month evidently my personal theme is “Things with Wings.” I am proud to share my Amy Mitten Summer Casket Keepsake Butterfly for those who didn’t see it last week: And I have another butterfly to share, the Mill Hill Blue […]
I know you all are eager to see that Peacocks Purse, but my folks were visiting last week and there was no way I could spend the time needed on such an intimidating project! And this week is busy too. I will work on it for next month, ok? But I did fully finish my Drawn Thread Treasure Box for […]
I’m linking up with Rachel at Ten Hour Stitcher for the Fully Finished Objects Gallery this month. This SAL is the best motivator to get those projects out of your box or drawer and out on display! Thanks for hosting, Rachel! I have a few pretties to share with you! I framed Deerfield by Chartmakers. Oh I love it! I […]
I missed the March FFO Gallery but I’m here to make up for it with the April one! I have several things finished up to share with you. You’ve seen them all finished before, recently, because I am mostly caught up with the things I care about finishing, and let’s be honest, which are easy and inexpensive enough to finish! […]
