The Last Smalls SAL Check In! December 2023

Hello Friends, Here is your last check in hosted by me for the Smalls SAL! And I’d like to make an announcement! Rachel, the Ten Hour Stitcher, has graciously offered to take over hosting this SAL starting in 2024! Probably many of your know her from the FFO SAL, so we already know she’s such a great stitcher of smalls, […]

November 2023 Smalls Link Up

Hello, I hope all my American friends had a great Thanksgiving last week. We did. The kids and I made 3 pies (apple, pecan, pumpkin) and the rest of our feast was tip top as well. This is not Instagram worthy food photography but maybe you’d like to see it anyway… I did not finish my small. I thought if […]

September 2023 Smalls Check In

My Small for this month is a little Blackbird Designs project which I was lucky enough to spot in a destash group. It is an old class project that makes a little scissor box and pin cushion. Here is the stitching: The fabric is 28 count which seems very coarse compared to my other recent stitching. But it was very […]

August 2023 Smalls Link Up

Hello Smalls Stitchers! I finished a 2nd little berry in the Deck The Halls booklet from Blackbird Designs. It is called Sugarplums I think. I love the colors. So soft! The linen is Opal from Picture this Plus. I really like it for this project. Now that I’ve stitched 2 of the berries, I will make them up. I had […]

July 2023 Smalls SAL

Hello! I am giving you all a link up page, but I don’t have a small. We had a spontaneous vacation this month and I didn’t get it done. I will share it next month! It you managed to finish one, feel free to share below!

June 2023 Smalls Check In

We’re half way through 2023 and it’s time for the June Smalls Check In! Mine is no surprise…I finished the front cover of my Birds of a Feather needlebook from Stacy Nash: This bird is the cutest! It’s the reason I got the chart. It reminds me of the William Morris strawberry thief. I decided to use this stitch and […]

May 2023 Smalls Check In

I’m a little late…that’s the theme of my life these days…but I have a small for you this last Friday of May…it is another element of the Stacy Nash Birds of a Feather needle book. Now isn’t that cute with all those different birdies? I do the last big bird in June, my favorite element of the project. Save the […]

April 2023 Smalls Check In

I’m a little late today with creating the Smalls Check In! Sorry about that! I’ve been enjoying slowly getting back to my stitching this month. There’s just so much fun stuff to work on, I’ve been in a sort of chaos-unfocused mode! But I did make a start on one of my favorite Nashville releases…Stacy’s Nash’s Birds of a Feather […]

March 2023 Smalls Check In

For my little bitty small for March here is a pin cushion designed by Indigo Rose. I do love the specialty stitches in her designs and the use of variegated silk. I bought this kit second hand with the lovely little Nantucket basket. It took maybe 3 short stitching sessions and finished in a half hour, no sewing, just coaxing […]

January 2023 Smalls Link Up

Hello friends! It is time for the first Smalls Link Up of 2023! I can hardly believe it but here we are! Here is my (medium) small for this month, The Philanthropic Pumpkin from Hands on Design. I am looking forward to the finishing actually, it will be very very cute and I have some adorable pumpkin pins to stick […]
