Woo hoo! It’s June 5 and I’ve finished Stacy Nash’s Summer Garden Roll! I had lots of time to stitch Saturday since my son had a double header (4 hours of baseball watching for me!) and then I watched the little kids swim for an hour too. After those 5 hours all I had left …
WIP MAYnia #3! Summer Garden Roll!
You all know what’s up now with my WIP MAYnia project…here’s where I started on Friday on Stacy Nash’s Summer Garden Roll… My goal was to finish a page (it’s only 2 pages) I did it plus a little extra! The first page seems to have the most stitching with that big flower pot. I …
Heirloom Anniversary is DONE! And now I can enjoy a WIP MAYnia!
I got really bogged down in the Heirloom Anniversary the past few months. I think “obligation stitching” will do that. If you know you are “supposed” to be stitching something, it can become something of a chore! But a happy chore nonetheless! And here it is, my Heirloom Anniversary Square! If I do say so …

No time!
I’ve had no time for good long stitching sessions lately. What I’ve gotten done so far has happened bit by bit. I guess those bits add up but I’m not as far along as I’d like to be this month! I put the squirrel and his little tree on the Drawn Thread Sampler of Stitches: …
A baseball weekend
Baseball season is in full swing (ha ha) here and soon I’ll have 4 kids on 4 teams. This weekend it was *only* 3 on 3 and I got to do the honors of taking the #1 son to his travel games. That meant lots of stitching time!! I made great progress on Heirloom Anniversary! …
What HAVE I been doing?
I feel like I went dark there the past week or so after a flurry of posts at the start of the January. Well, I was making something for my Secret Stitching Sweetheart. If you would like to know more about this Valentine blog hop, check it out HERE. There is information at the bottom …
Now I Know My ABCs…and Os, Us, and Vs
It seems like alphabets have been finding their way to my needle these days. I’ve made a good start on the alphabet part of Stacy Nash’s Summer Garden Roll… It looks like I need to catch up with the border, and get started on the huge vase of flowers that goes in the middle under …
Last start of the year?
I made my excuse be the obligation to do one last thing for “Naughty November” (hosted by Rachel the Ten Hour Stitcher) and started something yesterday-Stacy Nash’s Summer Garden Roll: This is one short night of stitching on the border that shows the width. I don’t expect this to take as long as my other …
October FFO Gallery
We were on fall break this past week* so I didn’t have a lot of time to finish things up, so I tried to get most of it done before we left. I also didn’t have too much recently stitched to FFO anyway. I made the Pensee Sauvage by Samplers Not Forgotten into a pillow …
September Smalls Check In
It wasn’t too hard to finish up my small for this month! This is the Summer Garden Needlebook by Stacy Nash. The kit came with the cardboard ovals, batting, fabric, and ribbon. I’m so glad not to have to cut my own ovals! I made a round needlebook from JBW earlier this year so I’m …
