Weekly Stitching and Haul

I hope everyone had a fantastic Thanksgiving weekend. I sure did! I feel like all I did was eat!

I was able to get in some stitching around the time I was eating though.

272 Words-The first picture is where I started from.



And this is where I got to. I just love this piece and it is stitching up pretty quickly.





I worked on America the Beautiful by Sue Hillis for the first time in quite a while. I haven't shared this one since I first started my blog. I was able to complete Iowa, Wisconsin and start on Illinois. This piece is also one I have included in my Year of Wips project in hopes that I will finish by the end of 2017.




I started this stocking in March at a retreat and needed to have stitched it over 2, but I had started it over 1. So I ripped out the small amount that I had finished and restarted. It is my goal to do all of the Shepherds Bush stockings and I am loving this one. I think it is going to be my goal to have one of these going at all times until I can finish them all.





It will look like this when completed.





I am combining the haul with this stitching update as I don't have much. I took advantage of the Joanns 4 for $1 sale on thread. I was able to get thread to kit up three Mirabilia's and the thread needed for the Brooke's Books Advent Animal ornaments.

  1. You managed to get a good amount stitched on your featured WIPs, Laura. Good for you! I have been eyeing 272 Words, but I don't have the wall space for that large piece. Enjoy your week!

    1. I didn't really pay that much attention to how large it really was when I ordered it. I am doing an Americana wall and have a couple large pieces, so I am hoping they will all fit on it.

  2. I love stitching lettering. It seems to go so quickly.
    I am very envious of the DMC prices!
