I finished Sacred! Hooray! This was my own silk conversion. I tried to use silks from my stash for the most part, but I think I did buy one to fill in a color that wasn’t close to anything I had. As I stitched it I found some odd charting and so I did “fix” the golden embellishments on the […]
We’ve finished the second week of March and here is the progress I’ve made on Sacred. I am in the home stretch! Our family enjoyed a nice Spring Break in California this past week, perhaps our last spring break with all of us together, at least for this stage of life. My oldest is headed to college this year! I […]
Well I’ve gotten a little carried away with Sacred, to the detriment of the Checkerboard Stag! That did not get completed in February (though it might have had I not picked up Sacred) but I made good progress on Sacred. It’s good to have the stitching bug back! One thing or another will get finished soon! That’s good right? I […]
Ta DAH! I finished the Red and Green Carnation Sampler…quite pleased with how it turned out. I made the little fill-ins in the border suit me. Some I modified from the chart, others I added. The initials down the left side are my children’s and since this is our 25th anniversary, I put our wedding year and this year to […]
WIPS to Work On I’ve sorted out my many many project bags and have put a number in my workbasket to focus on this year…at least the first bit of this year. Most of these have been worked on pretty recently, and other will probably make you say, “Mary! You didn’t finish that yet?!” We’re not going to look and […]
I have lots of WIPS. Too many! I have 2 ideas about them for the rest of my 2025 stitching. My first idea is what can I finish?! Wouldn’t it be great to get in another good finish this year? Which WIPS qualify for that?? My other idea is what do I really want to stitch on? Even if it […]
I think I owe you an update on Sacred, which was supposed to be my Lenten stitch but (kept getting interrupted) and my Dorcas Haynes project, which has seen a few stitches put in since I last showed you. I don’t even want to bother with before and after pictures, or “best laid plans” that went to ruin or anything. […]
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 […]
A couple weeks ago The Attic hosted Autumn of Abundance, its fall event, this year featuring Linda of Chessie and Me, Teresa Kogut, and Beth Twist from Heartstring Samplery. It was a busy week in the shop. Here I am (on the far right) with Jean and some of the shop ladies. They are a wonderful group of coworkers. I […]
I am loving my 2 WIPs, Sacred and Dorcas Haynes. I’ve been able to stitch a lot on them this first week of July. Here is my progress on Sacred… You can see I’ve gotten quite a bit done this week. O Most Holy Heart of Jesus fountain of every blessing…stitching a prayer is a nice meditative thing to do, […]
