Traditional Samplers! I didn’t always but I have really come to LOVE traditional samplers, both reproductions and adaptations/”in the style of.” I have finished a quite a few in the past couple years. You’ve seen them all already but it’s fun to gather them here for a group post. First is my favorite, the one …
People’s Choice: Birds!
This is a People’s Choice theme for which I have a lot to share! I just LOVE to stitch birds! I am excited to share some of my favorites again with you! How about this very old one, Wise Old Owl from Raise the Roof? This was stitched before I started blogging and I’m not …
January 2021 FFO Gallery
I’m linking up with Rachel, the Ten Hour Stitcher again this year to share my FFO’s (Fully Finished Objects) each month. This blog hop is wonderful motivation to keep those finished pieces out of a drawer and instead get them up on display! My first FFO’s of 2021 are framed pieces. First, I framed The …
The Pink Sparrow is Finished
Yay! It is all finished! What a nice way to end the month and start May! You will notice something different if you’ve seen other Pink Sparrows. I did not care for the dogs. I was sure I had seen someone, somewhere replace the dogs with cats. I could not for the life of me …
WIPS again
I’ve had so much trouble with this post that I’ve just scrapped it and rewritten it. Ugh. Anyway, here’s what I have been up to this past week: The Pink Sparrow (I can see a finish very soon! Maybe this week!) Foxy (Just look at that sparkly white tail! That was the most fun part …
Progress on the WIPs

The WIPS
It’s been a crazy, but peaceful, time. We had spring break the 2nd week of March, and then like many schools, were told not to come back to school for one, then two, four weeks, and now the school year will be completed at home. One by one all our activities were cancelled. I have …
Birthday Stitching
My husband wanted to know what I wanted to do on my birthday this past weekend, and I bet you can guess what I said! I wanted some nice long uninterrupted stitching time! I started on Autumn Quakers. My mom gave me the linen as part of my present. I have the first little corner …
February Fully Finished Objects
Thanks to Rachel, I have been motivated to FFO a few more smalls this month! I already showed you my 2 Mill Hill Santas… And here is the snowflake all finished. This is Mill Hill’s “Ice Crystal” from the Snow Crystals series. I finish them very simply, the way my Grandma always did. I hot …
First Smalls Check In of 2020!
WOW! January 2020 is OVER! I have this theory that the older you get, the faster time seems to go because when you are a kid, each minute, or hour, or day, relative to your entire life, is a larger amount of time than when you are an adult. So one day to my 40 …
