A House for Jane Amid Lots of Vacation Pictures

I’ve been on a trip the past couple weeks to visit my family in Indiana.

The People Choose…

BEADS! Many thanks to Jo for hosting the People’s Choice Blog Hop! Oh man, I had no witches to show you last month, I don’t think I even have one pattern with witches on it! But beads I have in spades! I love designs that use some beads to add sparkle, dimension, and interest to the project. They just give […]

June 2022 Gifted Gorgeousness

I’m linking up with Jo at Serendipitous Stitching to share my super gorgeous gift for my parents’ 50th Anniversary…you saw the creation, and now here is the (almost) finish (the frame is on backorder…it’s a long story!!)

In the middle of things

Interspersed with the finishing I’ve just shown, I’ve been stitching along on my planned projects this month. I’m right in the middle of them. Here is last weekend’s work on the Drawn Thread Sampler of Stitches: And this weekend’s work so far on Betsy Morgan’s Spanish Etui : Interestingly enough, the dark red in both of these is the same…Rosewood […]

Now I’ve Sewn My ABCs

This was a little goal I had in my head for this month…to finish the alphabet part of Jeannette Douglas’s ABC Sampler. I figured if I could get my colors sorted for the ABCs, the little band and spot motifs on the bottom at least would have colors I could choose from, and there would be fewer decisions to make! […]
