Weekly Stitching

I hope you all had a great weekend and the weather wasn't too hot. It was very hot and humid here to the point of being miserable outside. However, I met a friend for a stitch weekend and we stayed in where it was cool for the most part and had a great time.

I started my rotation this past week but wasn't able to stitch every day but I did get quite a bit done overall.

Henry VIII-Heaven and Earth Designs

The piece looked like this when I posted last week.



Now, it looks like this.



I also worked quite a bit on Save the Stitches by Blackwork Journey. I had put this away for a good while and I don't know why as I really enjoy working on it. I completed the last row of blocks on the piece. I do need to go back to some previous blocks to finish from when I worked on it months ago. I apologize for the light on this picture, it isn't giving a true color of the fabric. It is stitched on Silver Mist by Fabrics by Stephanie.


And I have a finish! It was the first project that I put in my rotation as I knew it was so close to being finished.

All The Pretty Flowers-Heartstring Samplery



I haven't yet decided what project I am going to add in the place of All The Pretty Flowers but will go through wips tonight and pick one out. I have quite a bit going on this week so not sure how much stitching I will get in. I hope you all have a great stitchy week!

Weekly Stitching

Good Monday to you all! There wasn't much stitching done by me this past week. It was back to work after the 4th holiday for me and over the weekend we celebrated my grandmothers birthday on Saturday. And then....we got rid of junk on Sunday. My husband and I recently moved and you don't really realize how much you have until you have to pack it and move it. So yesterday, we went through stuff and got rid of quite a bit. It really is a feeling of being a bit free when you do that. It was miserably hot though and think we should have waited until winter to go through the shed where it was stored.


I started Henry VIII by Heaven and Earth Designs on Saturday night but not much done yet.




As we were out for dinner on Saturday with my family, I was close to a Joann Fabric so I had to stop. I was just walking around the store and came across the cutest pincushion and add in a 50% off coupon for it and I could not pass it up.




Today is the beginning of my new rotation, which will be one hour of stitching on Henry VIII and then as much stitching as I can get in on another project. I think it will more than likely be the small pillow by Heartstring Samplery. I do plan on having quite a bit more to show you with the next update. Hope you all have a great week with lots of stitching!
