Well there’s no bird yet and to me this looks brown, not yellow, but La D Da’s Yellow Bird is stitching up quickly this week. I think it is striking on the printed linen. All that is left is the bird. The border was not as tedious as I thought it might be. It’s enjoyable to watch the variegated colors […]
Last week we were on fall break. Most schools in Arizona give a full week for this break which is very nice. It falls during what can be the last blast of summer, and so no one minds getting out of town for a week to come back to our delightful end-of-year temperatures. Like most everyone, we haven’t gone to […]
After having spent an entire month on the same couple of projects I am very ready for some new things! And to get back to some old things! I couldn’t wait until October 1st. September 30 saw me start Fall Posey from Jeanette Douglas. Now this is not a “bucket list” stitch but it HAS been ready to go in […]
Are you tired of hearing about my sampler stitching? Ok, here’s the last one for a while, probably! First of all, I have finished H. Faulkner! Except she is no longer a reproduction sampler and she is no longer H. Faulkner. I ultimately decided to put my Grandma’s name and birth year on it. Do you like her? Since I […]
Here you can see I’ve made great strides with H Faulkner! She’ll definitely be a finish this month which will be very nice even if I’m not able to start my other sampler. I haven’t decided about the name yet. And here is Bathya. The pink flowers were easy after the green ones. I have two, only 2! “Stitches of […]
If you’ve been looking at my Instagram, there is nothing new to see here, but I wanted to share my progress on Sampler September stitching for those who haven’t. Bathya and H Faulkner are coming along nicely. I haven’t started the Chessie and Me project yet. Here is H (Harriet? Helene? Hannah?) Faulkner: I just love the little butterflies. And […]
Bathya is a CHALLENGE. Let me tell you. I really really need to pay attention. I was so proud of myself, finishing that blue line, only to discover I had stitched it over two and it needed to be stitched over three. The chart is charted over 2 because I guess that is the standard, but there is probably an […]
I’ve got so much going on, and I’m taking a break from a lot of current projects for Sampler September, so I just need to make a quick WIP post! Do you want to see all the projects I’ve been working on? So… after I finished that Brenda Gervais birdy, I couldn’t resist even one more small in the last […]
I am working on the Sampler Roll this week. In fact I am hoping it will be finished in about a week. It is easy stitching now…the rest of the bottom alphabet, and easy little bottom border… And filling in the shadow sides of all the little houses! After 4 tries I think I finally have a thread that works! […]
