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

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 […]

I am looking forward to the finish. But it will be a LARGE drum. It is funny how all these drums are all different proportions. I took […]
