It was a quick stitch

I finished the Threadwork Primitives Quaker Carnations Pinwheel last week. I like it! It is stitched with the called for colors on Weeks Sanguine because I couldn’t get the Lakeside Clay Pot but the Sanguine works really well. It is a light terra cotta color that doesn’t show up well in the photo. I started November from The Joyful World. […]

Let It Bee and the Next Thing

I finished Let It Bee! Once I finally got a pattern going for the lattice it went much faster. I’ll frame it later this week. Right away I started Quaker Carnations Pinwheel from Threadwork Primitives. One of my favorite finishes is Quaker Birds Pinwheel so I am excited to have a companion for it. I’m stitching on Weeks Sanguine with […]

Two Sparkly Ornaments

I did it! Here are my two very sparkly ornaments I showed you partially done last week! First is Madonna and Child from Just Cross Stitch Ornaments 2010. The designer is Brooke’s Books. I substituted quite a few of the fibers because I did not have the called for Kreiniks. None of the sparkly threads were very easy to use […]

The People Choose…Bees

Jo at Serendipitous Stitching hosts a monthly themed blog hop, as you may know by now! It is a nice way to showcase designs by theme and always interesting for me to discover what I’ve stitched that fits! This month’s theme is bees. I have always liked bees. One day I think it would be interesting to have bees myself, […]

Little Projects

I’ve been too ambitious this month thinking I could get so much done! As a result I have a pile of partially completed little projects I’ve been carrying around hoping to stitch on in my free moments. First is Let It Bee from The Drawn Thread. The lattice border has slowed this one down! I’m not enjoying the perle cotton […]

A Pause for Finishing

I took a bit of a break from stitching this week to finish some things for Rachel’s Fully Finished Object Gallery. Finishing is always more fiddly and time consuming than I plan, so I did not have anything ready to show on the 10th, but I’m only a few days late so I still think I did pretty well this […]

Finish: Check. Start: Check, Check.

I did finish Wild Garden by Blackbird Designs last week! The kit came with a “vintage glass Czech star” so that is the bling on there. I had thought about finishing this as a flat fold but I think I’ll actually frame it. I feel like it needs a more substantial border to contain all that wildness! A neat thing […]

August Smalls Check-In

For a while this month I was not sure which of my smalls would get finished for the check in. I was working on several you know, and it was sort of a race to the finish, which one would “win,” and how many I could get done! Well, it’s a tie…sort of. I finished the stitching for Spring Flowers […]

The People Choose…Monochrome

This month, Jo’s blog hop “The People Choose” is themed Monochrome. Well I do not have a lot of monochrome to show for this month but I did find a few things! Some you even saw last month for finishing so you get to see them again! I think my first monochrome piece was this little pillow by Lindsay Lane […]
