Is DONE! Except not the pocket. And not the smalls. I feel like that is almost starting over! Boo Hoo! But I have met my goal of getting this big part stitched and I love it. This watered silk is what I’m using to line it. I will square up the linen to start the pocket this week. The pocket […]
This post was written December 12 but I didn’t take pictures so I never posted it. Here it is with the pictures, which no longer correspond to the text accurately, but you get the idea!!) This weekend (the weekend of December 11-12 that is) I did a bit of stitching the Bijoux on my Bargello roll, but also wanted to […]
I couldn’t wait to share…I finished the silk stitching on the Bargello Roll! You know I keep calling it the Bargello Roll but it is really called A Lady’s Sewing Roll. It was designed by Jackie DuPlessis and Diane Jourdan of Sampler Cove for The Elegant Stitch (a shop that is now closed, it was owned by Lois who is […]
I told you I’d share my Bargello Roll progress this month. It’s not finished but I’m getting so close! Here it was last Friday: and after a diligent weekend and followed by getting the oil changed in my car this morning here we are today: I keep forgetting, after all the silk is stitched, I have to go back and […]
I just couldn’t do it. I couldn’t resist doing the surface stitching on the first side of the etui. I could not make myself stitch more border! I just had to see how it would look! I told myself, just the grapes. Then before I knew it I had done the whole side. Now I can’t do more until I […]
I looked through all the projects I had put on my 2021 Bucket List and picked one very last one to start this year. It is the Spanish Sampler Etui from Betsy Morgan. I started stitching it. It is going to be INVOLVED. The first step is to stitch all the borders of the box using her own stitch, the […]
It’s the third week of July and I have just been plugging away on my various projects! I’ve gotten back into my Bargello Roll. Look! It is about half finished! I am patiently waiting on some other thread choices for my Sampler Roll houses and in the meantime have been working on grass, alphabets, trees… This is just a lovely […]
All I’ve done lately is couching and satin stitch. Couching metal threads on my fancy butterflies: Satin stitch on the bargello and anniversary piece: I finished the black outlines on the Bargello. This is how big it is and how much filling I have to do! Wow! It will be a lot of work but it’s super relaxing and easy […]
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 […]
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 […]
