March 2023 Smalls Check In

For my little bitty small for March here is a pin cushion designed by Indigo Rose. I do love the specialty stitches in her designs and the use of variegated silk. 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 […]

February 2023 Smalls Check In

Hello! Here we are at the end of February and it is again time to check in with our smalls! You probably remember me mentioning several times I would finish a medium small this month, Rosehips and Ivy. Well…I did finish it… but I still had time for another one! Here is Acorn Harvest from Brenda Gervais…and it’s not just […]

Rosehips and Ivy

Hello friends! It is time for the first Smalls Link Up of 2023! I can hardly believe it but here we are! Here is my (medium) small for this month, The Philanthropic Pumpkin from Hands on Design. I am looking forward to the finishing actually, it will be very very cute and I have some adorable pumpkin pins to stick […]

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 […]
