Well, I am LATE with this posting but it’s a good long one! Rachel at Ten Hour Stitcher has created a wonderful new SAL to encourage FFOs this year! Posts are supposed to be up by the 10th of the month, but I needed a little extra time for various reasons! Nonetheless, this is an excellent SAL for me because […]
This past weekend I finished up the American Goldfinch kit from Crossed Wing Collection for my mom’s birthday present. While it sure is cute, it is hard to sustain the micro stitching for long. Good thing it’s a little project! I finished it in a Tim Holtz watch fob like I did with my cardinal last year. This is an […]
Well! I didn’t have as much to finish up on Random Thoughts as I thought I did! I was able to put in the remaining motifs in a couple days! Here is a close up of the section I did last. The cat was tent stitch so it was a breeze! And here I had saved it till last! Since […]
I went into this year with 3 bigger projects: Random Thoughts by The Drawn Thread, Heirloom Nativity by Victoria Sampler, and Baby Celebration by Just Nan. Now do you even remember those first two?! Of course I did make good progress on all of them but none are quite finished! And they all could be! So with 3 months left […]
I am so excited to share with you the progress on Random Thoughts! I’ve kept working away on it and here is the top 3/4 of the center design, all done except for charms! The final motifs I was putting in involved quite a few special stitches that I was doing for the first time. I’m not sure how well […]
As if I don’t have enough going on, this week I caught a bad case of startitis. I started March of Joyful World! Which is my only legitimate start because I have to at least start March in March, right? (is February done? No, it is not! Not quite anyway! I am still deciding on my special stitching for the […]
This week I picked up Random Thoughts again after a break of about a month I guess while I was working on Heirloom Nativity. I started reluctantly because I so wanted to continue HN! But after that first day, with enthusiasm! I love this piece! I was drawn initially (ha ha) to the variety of motifs above all, and the […]
Between Christmas and New Years and family and feasting there has not been a lot of stitching going! And Random Thoughts seems to be coming along SO SLOWLY. I’m not sure why-it seems like it should be quick. And you know, I was saying before about Birds, that I always thought many pieces from Drawn Thread were a little drab […]
Here’s how the Heirloom Nativity is coming! I love it! So pretty! And this first part went rather quickly so that is nice. Now I did cheat a little bit on my plan..I got the first 7 bands done, but then I started up the 8th, just to finish up the evening last night. I would have gotten more on […]
