For March, the People have chosen Spring as the theme of the blog hop. I have a few springy stitches to share. Here is one I made last year which you might remember, Jeannette Douglas’ Jump Into Spring: This piece also from last year also seems springy to me, it is called Pensee Sauvage from Samplers Not Forgotten. In Arizona […]
This is a People’s Choice theme for which I have a lot to share! I just LOVE to stitch birds! I am excited to share some of my favorites again with you! How about this very old one, Wise Old Owl from Raise the Roof? This was stitched before I started blogging and I’m not sure I ever shared it! […]
Barely sneaking in at the end of the link up, I have some trimmed up hearts for my FFO’s this month. Thank you Rachel for hosting us! First is Token of Love from Samplers Not Forgotten: Instead of ruching the ribbon and then sewing it on, this time I ruched as I went. Boy that was a lot faster and […]
Happy St. Valentine’s Day! It is time for Jo’s annual Secret Stitching Sweetheart Blog Hop! All the participants send in a photo of some Valentine stitching or crafting and Jo returns to us a picture from a secret stitcher! On Valentine’s day we hop to each blog to find our stitching and reveal ourselves to the recipient. This year I […]
Favorite designer of 2020! Jo of Serendipitous Stitching has asked those of us linking up for People’s Choice to share the favorite designer we stitched in 2020. Friends, for me it just has to be The Drawn Thread! I stitched so much in 2020 but the piece I just really loved stitching the most was Toccata One designed by Cynthia […]
I’m linking up with Rachel the Ten Hour Stitcher for the last Fully Finished Object Gallery of 2020! I was not sure I could get any of my pieces FFO’d this month so anything counts as a triumph! First, of course I HAD to do my daughter’s rocking horse ornament. Here it is on the tree. Oof. This was the […]
Stitching Disasters! I am linking up with Jo of Serendipitous Stitching for the final “Let the People Choose” of 2020. It is a tragi-comic theme this month…stitching disasters! I liked the questionnaire Jo included and it was fun to fill out. Stitching disasters are always horrifying in the moment, but for me, most of them are the kinds of problems […]
I’m linking up with Rachel over at Ten Hour Stitcher again this month for her “Fully Finished Object” gallery. This is just the kick in the pants I need every month to move projects from the “finished stitching” to the “fully finished” stage. It has been a great antidote to the drawer that inevitably ends up collecting those little stitched […]
Happy Halloween and Happy Fall from me and my Just Nan Owls!! Today I’m participating in Jo’s (of Serendipitous Stitching) Halloween Blog Hop! It’s a chance to Trick or Treat at the participating blogs. Your treat is some fall/Halloween stitching AND a letter. Collect all the letters and return to Jo’s to submit the secret message you discover! This week […]
Hooray Hooray! I have a completed project! Of course if you have been following along you knew my FFO for this month would be the Silk and Satin Reticule from Betsy Morgan. I felt so lucky to get a chart of this project which was retired when I discovered it. I was able to assemble the materials. It was wonderful […]
