Fully Finished September 2021

I’m linking up with Rachel over at Ten Hour Stitcher for the monthly gallery of full-finishes! This month I went ahead and finished up my August Smalls. Here is the Bloom fob from Shepherd’s Bush made into a tiny pillow: Isn’t that fun ribbon? To finish as the model showed, the ribbon on the fob gets tacked down with pearl […]

One step forward, two steps back

Bathya is a CHALLENGE. Let me tell you. I really really need to pay attention. I was so proud of myself, finishing that blue line, only to discover I had stitched it over two and it needed to be stitched over three. The chart is charted over 2 because I guess that is the standard, but there is probably an […]

Where things stand

I’ve got so much going on, and I’m taking a break from a lot of current projects for Sampler September, so I just need to make a quick WIP post! Do you want to see all the projects I’ve been working on? So… after I finished that Brenda Gervais birdy, I couldn’t resist even one more small in the last […]

Sampler September

Last year it was really good to participate in “Sampler September” on Instagram because it gave me a lot of motivation to work on Bathya from Hands Across the Sea. I made some good progress getting that large sampler underway. However, then I put it away to get some other things done through the end of the year. Now it […]

Another August Small

While I probably could have made some more progress on the Bargello Roll or really anything else, I guess I needed some more instant gratification or more feelings of productivity! I went ahead and finished the other little small I mentioned last time. Since it’s still August I’ll go ahead and share it now. It is a sweet little Brenda […]

August 2021 Smalls Check In

I was inspired this month to stitch up some very small smalls for the August SAL. They stitched up so quickly I didn’t have time for a progress picture so I saved them for you. First I did a little Shepherd’s Bush fob, I think it is called “Blooms.” It is very bright and cheery! It is a little big […]

Fully Finished Gallery August 2021

I’m linking up with Rachel for the Fully Finished Gallery this month to share with you the Italian Peacocks Purse by Giulia Punti Antichi! I just love how it turned out. The peacock purse frame was the way to go. I think it goes really well. I have not been able to find a chain for the frame yet. If […]

Sampler Roll Finished!

Last night I managed to finish the Sampler Roll! It is super cute. I love the houses. Stitching the alphabets was fun, especially the pink one. The borders were easy. I added the little hearts next to the birds and think that looks good as my own touch. This was a nice stitch. I discovered my fabric was 36ct and […]

Little houses, little houses

I am working on the Sampler Roll this week. In fact I am hoping it will be finished in about a week. It is easy stitching now…the rest of the bottom alphabet, and easy little bottom border… And filling in the shadow sides of all the little houses! After 4 tries I think I finally have a thread that works! […]

Mary’s July Small and Vacation

Well, this king took me much longer than I thought it would! Part of that was because it turned out that our vacation was one of those vacations when I just didn’t have any time to stitch. We had a good little getaway to San Diego and Carlsbad, CA. Highlights of the trip included the San Diego zoo, and Mission […]
