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. […]
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 […]
On Instagram I noticed a “thing” a lot of stitchers seem to be joining up for this month; it is a Blackbird Designs Weekend SAL. I believe it was started by Laura and Brenda. Maybe all the details are in their flosstube but since I don’t really watch flosstube I don’t know much about it except to stitch on a […]
In honor of her 10th Anniversary of blogging, my friend Jo of Serendipitous Stitching has invited her readers to write a “10 for 10” post. I’m happy to participate! Jo is such a welcoming, friendly, and thoughtful person, and is the hostess par excellence of blog hops throughout the year. Congratulations on your 10 years, Jo! It is a huge […]
For March, the People have chosen Spring as the theme of the blog hop. I have a few springy stitches to share. Here is one I made last year which you might remember, Jeannette Douglas’ Jump Into Spring: This piece also from last year also seems springy to me, it is called Pensee Sauvage from Samplers Not Forgotten. In Arizona […]
Many thanks again to Rachel for hosting the Fully Finished Gallery! I had a lot to finish this month! First is Foxy. Look at the beautiful vintage frame I got on eBay! Finding a good round frame was a challenge. Sandy, who is the framer at the Attic said if you ever see a good, reasonably priced round frame, snap […]
So I’ve been “saving things up,” and collecting materials and I have A LOT to finish. I’m going to see how much of this I can get done for the September FFO check in. Foxy needs to be framed… There are a couple pillows, large and small… A drum… And a project that wants trim… I know some really dislike […]
I put the last stitches in on “When This You See.” But not at the pool! I had just about 10 stitches left after my last pool session and couldn’t leave it like that for another day. So I finished it that night and now it’s done and added to my September finishing pile. Because it is mid month I […]
Last week I didn’t just work on the reticule. We are back to school with online school for 4 of our 5 kids so I haven’t had quite as much stitching time but I did get some work done on some Smalls. Lest I don’t get around to it, I committed to Smalls first thing since I didn’t get one […]
