WIPS! Starts! Yay!

Finishing those 2 little projects last week of the VWX section on the Sampler of Stitches and the Philanthropic Pumpkin made me so happy because I could go back to a lovely stitch from last year…Rosehips and Ivy from Blackbird Designs. Here’s my progress this week. If I keep on at a good pace, I may just be able to […]

January Stitching

Surprise!

I have another finish! It’s Christmas Pin Pillow by Kathy Barrick. This little pillow just really wanted to be stitched. It seemed like it would go perfectly in my Merry Christmas pin cushion display! So I started it right after Christmas and it seemed to practically stitch itself in all my spare moments this week. But I do think I […]

First finish of 2023!

Yay! I have finished the Victoria Sampler Biscornuments series! I made the last ornament my final start of 2022 on New Year’s Eve, and was able to complete it on New Year’s Day! I “saved” this one for last because it struck me as less interesting than the others but I think it just didn’t photograph well. It is so […]

2022 in Review

Happy New Year! After reviewing my photos. I found I stitched more than I thought I did this year! I participated in Carol’s Instagram challenge…12 in 22 ornaments which resulted in 10 new ornaments, 8 for Christmas, 1 for Easter and 1 for Halloween. I did also stitch 4 letters for Clare’s alphabet tree too so I guess I made […]
