I finally got out my sewing machine today and made little pillows! Here is my Blackbird Designs Souvenir de France. I used the pink stripe fabric for the backing and Painter’s Threads silver embellished rick rack. It is just fancy and understated enough for a French souvenir. Next up is the Joy To Ewe Chessie and Me kit I stitched […]
Another finish this week! Be My Valentine stitched up so quickly, it was a really enjoyable project. I love the soft colors. As a complete kit it came with backing fabric and trim but to be honest I may switch it out for my own choices. I really need to get out my sewing machine and make up some pillows. […]
While it was important for me to finish up my February WIPGO assignment, Mary Amelia’s Bird, it put me a bit behind on my assignment for March going through to April, and that is Sacred Heart from Teresa Kogut. I thought it would be good stitching for Lent so with my finishes last week, I have been working on Sacred […]
Many thanks again to Rachel for giving me a reason to FFO some pieces this month and share them with you! I finished up the Sugar Plum Fairy from Satsuma Street. The designer sent me a whole new bead packet and guess what? It’s a good thing I asked her about this because the packet that came in my kit […]
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 […]
Barely sneaking in at the end of the link up, I have some trimmed up hearts for my FFO’s this month. Thank you Rachel for hosting us! First is Token of Love from Samplers Not Forgotten: Instead of ruching the ribbon and then sewing it on, this time I ruched as I went. Boy that was a lot faster and […]
(I have edited this with some additional tips for success when making hearts-best wishes if you use these directions to make a heart!) I’m the Queen of Hearts this weekend, making up all my heart shaped stitches for February. I dug through my finishes to come up with 6 hearts that wanted finishing, and since I find hearts to be […]
Welcome to the first installment of the 2021 Smalls Blog Hop! For all you smalls stitchers out there, it is a chance to link up to share any little thing you’ve completed this month! If you have never participated before, why not join us this year (you can actually join in at any time and just participate in the months […]
I’ve been working on my various projects these past 2 weeks, just going along at my own pace. I haven’t felt like I’ve made a lot of progress so I haven’t been posting. But it’s been a while so I thought I should share anyway. Here’s where everything stands: My small for this month will be Token of Love from […]
On December 31st I made one very last new start for 2020. This is Token of Love by Samplers Not Forgotten. I fell in love with this Nashville kit and had to have it. I was planning to start it all year and never got to it. Well look! After all I did start it in 2020! I think I […]
