I had prepared this post for February’s Gifted Gorgeousness but got distracted and didn’t post it! Sorry! I think the issue was I had not taken my pictures! I do not have an intermediate picture-just the most current views…oh well. Anyway, I was working on the Victoria Sampler Heirloom Anniversary as a gift for my parents for their 50th anniversary […]
Baseball season is in full swing (ha ha) here and soon I’ll have 4 kids on 4 teams. This weekend it was *only* 3 on 3 and I got to do the honors of taking the #1 son to his travel games. That meant lots of stitching time!! I made great progress on Heirloom Anniversary! The boys have to be […]
I am on schedule for this month. I have duly stitched on my alphabet samplers. I haven’t done more on my Jeannette Douglas ABC Sampler (I had made the progress I had planned) but here is the Drawn Thread Sampler of Stitches with ABC and J all completed: I will tell you that selecting my own colors keeps me on […]
I am glad it is February so I can work on my alphabet samplers. I have come up with a bit of a plan for managing my huge pile of stitching for the year. What I will try to do is spend the first 7 to 10 days of the month doing my alphabets: the Drawn Thread’s Sampler of Stitches […]
I feel like I went dark there the past week or so after a flurry of posts at the start of the January. Well, I was making something for my Secret Stitching Sweetheart. If you would like to know more about this Valentine blog hop, check it out HERE. There is information at the bottom of the past several posts. […]
Is DONE! Except not the pocket. And not the smalls. I feel like that is almost starting over! Boo Hoo! But I have met my goal of getting this big part stitched and I love it. This watered silk is what I’m using to line it. I will square up the linen to start the pocket this week. The pocket […]
It seems like alphabets have been finding their way to my needle these days. I’ve made a good start on the alphabet part of Stacy Nash’s Summer Garden Roll… It looks like I need to catch up with the border, and get started on the huge vase of flowers that goes in the middle under the letters. How could I […]
It seems like I was getting antsy at the end of 2021 to start new things and I kind of binged on new starts! Everything I started I thought, “Well, this will be a good project to do next year!” So I really do have my work cut out for me. Getting everything out and (sort of) organized, I see […]
This post was written December 12 but I didn’t take pictures so I never posted it. Here it is with the pictures, which no longer correspond to the text accurately, but you get the idea!!) This weekend (the weekend of December 11-12 that is) I did a bit of stitching the Bijoux on my Bargello roll, but also wanted to […]
I couldn’t wait to share…I finished the silk stitching on the Bargello Roll! You know I keep calling it the Bargello Roll but it is really called A Lady’s Sewing Roll. It was designed by Jackie DuPlessis and Diane Jourdan of Sampler Cove for The Elegant Stitch (a shop that is now closed, it was owned by Lois who is […]
