June 2021 Fully Finished Gallery

I know you all are eager to see that Peacocks Purse, but my folks were visiting last week and there was no way I could spend the time needed on such an intimidating project! And this week is busy too. I will work on it for next month, ok? But I did fully finish my Drawn Thread Treasure Box for […]

Finish and A Start

Here is my finished Treasure Box from the Drawn Thread. It is pretty! I do like it after all. Mounting it in the box will be easy so you’ll see it again soon. My next project is a present. My parents are celebrating their 50th anniversary next June! I have wanted to make this Victoria Sampler piece for them: It’s […]

Ten Days Into June

Here is a quick progress report for you: I have worked on the Treasure Box. Even though it is on the Bucket List, it is not my favorite. I put it on the list so I could frame it in the beautiful box I found, but the colors are a little drab. Too late to change so I will finish […]

May Wrap Up and More New Things

It was a good month. I stitched a lot, but of course I never stitch as much as I want to! I must be happy with the time I have and what I got done in it, and that’s what this post is about. I already shared with you my 2 finishes and FFO, the Italian Peacocks Purse and Strawberry […]

Oh happy day! Strawberry Garden is finished!

Yay yay yay! Strawberry garden took only 3 more stitching sessions to finish up! I just love it! Goodness it was a lot of lazy daisies. But towards the end I was a lot less particular about perfect placement. They may be off by a thread here and there but I think for this design it doesn’t matter a bit. […]

May 2021 Smalls Blog Hop

I have the teeniest, tiniest smallest small to show you. I stitched my initials for the back side of the peacock purse. It had to be done, so I made it my small. And I’m not sure this counts because it is not actually a finished project, but I did finish the satin stitching on the last wing of the […]

Strawberry Garden

I diligently worked away on my Strawberry Garden (from Blackbird Designs) all weekend, spending all my stitching time Friday night and a good chunk of Saturday afternoon stitching the vines with lazy daisies. I saw someone comment upon finishing this one that they would be glad to never have to stitch another lazy daisy as long as they lived after […]

Something New At Last

I have grand plans this month for making more progress on various WIPs I’ve shared. The Bargello Roll, the Strawberry Garden, and Amy Mitten’s Butterfly especially need to reach some milestones for me to be truly satisfied with May. However, after finishing the peacocks purse this week I just had to start something new. The Drawn Thread Treasure Box (off […]

Best Laid Plans

I wanted to finish my Italian Peacocks Purse last week. Normally I should have been able to do that! But, “Ha ha ha,” said Life. And I should have known better anyway! We had a birthday in our family. On Wednesday night I was putting up decorations. On Friday night I was making the cake. Here is the cake. The […]

May 2021 Fully Finished Objects

I’m linking up with Rachel at Ten Hour Stitcher for the Fully Finished Objects Gallery this month. This SAL is the best motivator to get those projects out of your box or drawer and out on display! Thanks for hosting, Rachel! I have a few pretties to share with you! I framed Deerfield by Chartmakers. Oh I love it! I […]
