I’m linking up with Jo at Serendipitous Stitching to share my super gorgeous gift for my parents’ 50th Anniversary…you saw the creation, and now here is the (almost) finish (the frame is on backorder…it’s a long story!!) Sandy, who is the framer at The Attic, mounted it for me. Perfect as always. I will give it to them this weekend..
Woo hoo! It’s June 5 and I’ve finished Stacy Nash’s Summer Garden Roll! I had lots of time to stitch Saturday since my son had a double header (4 hours of baseball watching for me!) and then I watched the little kids swim for an hour too. After those 5 hours all I had left was the blue pot on […]
I got really bogged down in the Heirloom Anniversary the past few months. I think “obligation stitching” will do that. If you know you are “supposed” to be stitching something, it can become something of a chore! But a happy chore nonetheless! And here it is, my Heirloom Anniversary Square! If I do say so myself, that is some good […]
For my small this month I finished up that little tiny bee project I shared with you a few months ago. I guess I put it aside and totally forgot it. I’m glad I remembered it as it only took 1/2 hour to finish up. That over one stitching with the hand spun/hand dyed silk was a bear. I will […]
Still being in the Easter season, it is appropriate to continue with our Alleluias! For my ornament this month for the Ornie SAL (this month’s theme was a free choice!) and Carol’s Instagram 12 in 12 ornament SAL I choose to do an Easter Egg ornament. It it out of a magazine, “Cross Stitch and Needlework” April 1998. An oldie […]
Thank you Rachel for hosting the FFO Gallery! I am just sneaking in under the wire. I feel like I have just been so darn busy lately I still have not had time to really get into my stitching properly in a while! I don’t know what’s going on but I haven’t had any night stitching sessions in several weeks. […]
I know I’d said I would concentrate on Heirloom Anniversary, but being so close to finishes on 2 items I just had to spend the first days of the month getting them done. Here is Holly Go Brightly Mouse from Just Nan: She was really just an hour away from being done! And she will be easy to FFO this […]
Many thanks again to Rachel for giving me a reason to FFO some pieces this month and share them with you! I finished up the Sugar Plum Fairy from Satsuma Street. The designer sent me a whole new bead packet and guess what? It’s a good thing I asked her about this because the packet that came in my kit […]
I’m linking up with Rachel the Ten Hour Stitcher to persevere in my finishing this month! First, I made the Milady’s Needle stitch into a pin cushion. It was impossible to find a matching trim color. What I wanted was a dark green chenille but no one seems to make or carry the correct shade. I did not want to […]
You maybe guessed based on the stitching I’ve shown this month that my small would be the Cottage Charm Stitcher’s Pocket by Milady’s Needle. I think it’s so sweet. It is really hard to capture but the fabric is a pretty green and the threads are silk in Tortoise Shell by Belle Soie. The stitching gets turned into a needle […]
