Happy New Year! It is time for the annual summary of projects! It was productive year! I had 38 (I think??) finishes. Of those, about 6 were carry-overs from 2018 or earlier (including the Victoria Sampler Heirloom Nativity and the Snowflower Diaries Joyful World Calendar) and the rest were new starts. Of course they were almost all Smalls but that’s […]
I have a new start! I couldn’t even wait for New Year’s. I started it on Saturday night, the 28th. It’s Toccata 1 from The Drawn Thread. One reason I love The Drawn Thread is because of all the fun specialty stitches that are included, in just the right amount. Projects from DT are true samplers. Toccata 1 is an […]
Welcome to the last Smalls Check In of 2019! I am so grateful to you faithful friends who continue to link up month after month! I have finished my Snowflower Diaries December! That means I have stitched all the months! I do plan to do the fancy border so the project will continue in 2020. Hopefully it will be a […]
In honor of Day 23 of Jo’s Advent Calendar, I present to you my completed Heirloom Nativity from The Victoria Sampler! Finished this morning at 7:23 am, I started it in November of 2016: This piece has been a joy to work on. It gave me almost no trouble. I used the floss packs from The Victoria Sampler, which was […]
I am doing my allocated December stitching. I have started my Joyful World December. I have re-started my Faby Reilly biscornu. I’m not sure I ever showed it before. Well, here it is now! And…I have gotten back into Heirloom Nativity. I took out the work that I wasn’t pleased with (the top middle section) and I am redoing it. […]
Hello, Smalls Stitchers, and to all my American friends, Happy Thanksgiving! I finished my BBD “Bit of Summer” pindrum stitching! Yay! Like another stitcher I saw on Facebook, I do not really care for houses usually so I took her idea to replace the house with a bird and my initials. Then I realized the end caps of it also […]
This week I finished Scattered Seed’s The Little Strawberry Thief! It is so cute! The strawberry finish should be a cinch. And now, since it is done earlier than I expected, I will try to finish my Bit of Summer pindrum from Blackbird Designs for my small this month. I made good progress this week: This is a club kit, […]
I didn’t get my October FFOs posted in time for the deadline last month for Rachel’s Fully Finished Object Gallery, so I saved the post and added a few to it for November! Here are 2 months of FFOs! October: First I framed Let It Bee from The Drawn Thread. Cynthia made it easy on us by planning this piece […]
This week I finished up November from The Snowflower Diaries’ Joyful World… And the Heart’s Content Mini Motif Sampler Fall Foliage: I’m so happy with these two! Now on to December and to frame the sampler. The kit came with a gorgeous tiny burled wood frame. The Little Strawberry Thief is coming along-hope to get it done this weekend!
But I made progress last week! I only have a little bit of white border left on the Mini Motif Sampler, and then an easy-peasy backstitched line around the whole edge. I’ve made an excellent start on The Little Berry Thief from Scattered Seed Sampler’s club. It will be my small this month! I have my “Sunflower” floss and can […]
