This year I brought several older projects over to Sandy, the framer extraordinaire, at The Attic and have her fix them up for me. The last one is done and here they are. I am very pleased with how they all came out! First was The Pink Sparrow by Brenda Gervais. I had framed this myself during Covid and the […]
I have TOO MANY samplers I want to work on this month! I must pare it way down if I hope to make any progress!!! Fortunately I also have some good stitching time available, I hope, so I will get a chance to work on what I do pick. Here’s my preview… Bathya. I hoped to work on her again […]
I’m linking up with Jo of Serendipitous Stitching for a picture heavy post of my creative efforts this month, including a few gifts! First of all, the banner image features our mantel with the gorgeous needlepoint stockings my mom made and gave each of us over the years. I’ve shared them before but they are so special they must be […]
Are you tired of hearing about my sampler stitching? Ok, here’s the last one for a while, probably! First of all, I have finished H. Faulkner! Except she is no longer a reproduction sampler and she is no longer H. Faulkner. I ultimately decided to put my Grandma’s name and birth year on it. Do you like her? Since I […]
Here you can see I’ve made great strides with H Faulkner! She’ll definitely be a finish this month which will be very nice even if I’m not able to start my other sampler. I haven’t decided about the name yet. And here is Bathya. The pink flowers were easy after the green ones. I have two, only 2! “Stitches of […]
If you’ve been looking at my Instagram, there is nothing new to see here, but I wanted to share my progress on Sampler September stitching for those who haven’t. Bathya and H Faulkner are coming along nicely. I haven’t started the Chessie and Me project yet. Here is H (Harriet? Helene? Hannah?) Faulkner: I just love the little butterflies. And […]
Bathya is a CHALLENGE. Let me tell you. I really really need to pay attention. I was so proud of myself, finishing that blue line, only to discover I had stitched it over two and it needed to be stitched over three. The chart is charted over 2 because I guess that is the standard, but there is probably an […]
I’ve got so much going on, and I’m taking a break from a lot of current projects for Sampler September, so I just need to make a quick WIP post! Do you want to see all the projects I’ve been working on? So… after I finished that Brenda Gervais birdy, I couldn’t resist even one more small in the last […]
Last year it was really good to participate in “Sampler September” on Instagram because it gave me a lot of motivation to work on Bathya from Hands Across the Sea. I made some good progress getting that large sampler underway. However, then I put it away to get some other things done through the end of the year. Now it […]
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 that started my appreciation for […]
