(Edited to add: This is my May Small for Heather’s Stitching Lotus Smalls SAL) You know I finished this Beyond Cross Stitch Learning Collection piece from Victoria Sampler back in April and planned to make it into a box topper for a present for my daughter’s First Communion. Here it is! I found a little square box and had […]
Here’s my April Small for Heather’s Smalls SAL, Bugs and Birds by Lizzie Kate: Cute! This was a kit that came with a prefinished stitching wallet. The fabric is so cheerful! It was great to have something little and cute all finished. I learned how to stitch in hand better on this too. It’s not as neat for me as […]
Last week I finished my Victoria Sampler kloster blocks learning kit. This one was so fun! Again the directions for the technique were excellent-kloster blocks are easy enough but Thea gives the order in which to stitch each block and Algerian eyelet. I honestly think it’s one of the prettiest things I’ve made. And I have a plan for it! […]
Yes, it’s April but I’ve just almost finished July of Snowflower Diaries Joyful World calendar! I loved this one, so bright and cheerful! What is missing? The baby flamingo in the middle! I decided I wanted him to be fluffy so I ordered some fluffy thread to try. After I finish him I’m putting aside the calendar till June and […]
Hello and welcome to Mary’s Thread! Whether you found me through the Easter Blog Hop hosted by Jo or Heather’s Smalls SAL, I am so glad you came! Here is my March Small/Spring-y piece! I just barely got it done in time-literally was putting in the last stitches as Friday was ending. (I’m so sorry if you came for the […]
On vacation I rarely get anything done so I’ve been on a bit of a break. A bit. I managed to make this Mill Hill chicken. It’s not Christmas-y so I won’t use it for a tree ornament but it’s pretty cute so I think I’ll want it out year round anyway. Maybe I’ll put a magnet on it! This […]
Here is my lovely ABC Heart! This was an old freebie from DMC. I don’t see it on DMC’s website anymore which is too bad, it’s such a nice design! I stitched with Caron Waterliles Silk Cherry and Chili on Picture This Plus Truffle. (the fabric is pinker than the picture shows-I need to try to get a better picture). […]
My smalls this month are terribly out of season but at least they are done in time for the Smalls SAL! (If you are interested in visiting the other participants in this SAL, please visit Heather at Stitching Lotus!) I succeeded in finishing this little design from Victoria Sampler’s Beyond Cross Stitch Learning Collection. This is Evergreen, number 4-2, where […]
I’ve done a lot of stitching this month, all things considered, but this last week I had to take stock of where I was and finish something for the Smalls SAL hosted by Heather at Stitching Lotus. This one was the best bet for a quick finish so here it is! Bird N Blossoms by Homespun Elegance. I believe the […]
My first finish of 2018 is “Boughs of Holly” for the Christmas Ornies SAL: Our themes this year are “12 Days of Christmas” or “Christmas Carol of the Month.” I did Boughs of Holly for “Deck the Halls,” the January Carol. This is a kit from Victoria Sampler, part of the learning collection. This one, set 2 #3, is to […]
