Weekly Stitching

I haven't posted that often lately so this week you are getting two installments. I had another finish so I just couldn't wait to show it. I started this project as part of Maynia and it is all finished!

100 Days-Lizzie Kate

Weekly Stitching

Good Monday morning! I hope you are staying warm. It is cold here and we have a small amount of snow on the ground from Friday. We are supposed to get around 3 inches tonight and tomorrow and I really like snow, but I hope we don't get it so I am able to get to work. I told my husband yesterday that I am now ready to move to Florida!!


I purchased this stamped wall quilt from Herrschners for only $6 and I wish I had gotten a couple of more to do for gifts. It was a fun and quick stitch. I still have to quilt it.

Dog Rules for People-Lizzie Kate
This piece was a round robin that I participated in last year but I didn't finish it until the end of December. I stitched the top row, bottom row, and half the middle row.

Advent Animal 4-Brookes Books I finished this the end of December as well.

The Kings of Queens of England-Bothy Threads

Mary-Nativity Trilogy by Mill Hill I started this last week.

Alphabet-Prairie Schooler I started this on January 1. I am doing the entire alphabet all on one large piece of fabric. It is my goal to do at least one letter each month.

Love Never Fails-Barbara Ana I started this in January 2018.

London-Thea Gouveneur I started this on this past Saturday.

I would love to hear what you started for the new year.

Weekly Stitching

Happy Fall Y'all!!! Our weather is supposed to have fall temps this week and I can't wait. I am so looking forward to that cool, crispness in the air and going to the Pumpkin Farm. I will finally be able to sit on my front porch and stitch and enjoy the weather and colors of fall.

Needles and Pins-Theron Traditions

Kings and Queens of England-Bothy Threads
I need to do the backstitching on three of them but will go back and get that soon. Saturday night, my husband spilled his drink on this project. I just have to say, he is a very lucky man that it did not stain my project.

Old World Santa Book 2-Prairie Schooler
I am stitching this as a gift. There is a group that was set up to stitch as many of these as possible for a fellow blogger/flosstuber and they are to be mailed out the first of October. I don't want to give her name out as she may possibly read this, I will post that once it has been mailed and received.

Dog Rules for People-Lizzie Kate
I have been participating in a Lizzie Kate Round Robin for the past few months and this week I received my project back. I still have to stitch the top and bottom line for it to be finished but I am thrilled with it. This week will be busy and not sure I will get it finished as I need to get out the Prairie Schooler Santa and a Band Sampler I am working on for another round robin but I hope to be able to get this done by the end of October.

I only bought thread this week for a few projects as far as haul goes. However, I did get a fabulous basket to keep my wips in. I purchased it at the At Home store in the laundry storage area. I saw it a few weeks ago and kept thinking about it so I went back for it. It has wheels on it and is deep so it will hold quite a few wips. I filled it with 10 of those slim plastic cases and about 10 of the mesh project bags and they all fit. I failed to take a picture of it filled, but will do that for the next update. Here is a pic of what it looks like.

I hope you all have a great week filled with stitching!

Weekly Stitching

Can you believe that July is almost over? I always feel that summer is flying by after July 4 but the heat and humidity has been so bad here, I am ready for it to be over this year.

I got quite a bit of stitching done this week and I am very happy about that. A great way to spend my time inside during these hot days.

Henry VIII-Heaven and Earth Designs

It still looks like a blob of dark color but I have three full rows finished. I am stitching this on 16 count aida with DMC thread.

Americana Series-Little House Needleworks

I started this series over the weekend and I am stitching all nine designs on the same piece of fabric. This is being stitching on the called for Tin Roof with DMC thread.

I am currently in two round robins and one of those is a Lizzie Kate theme. This is the piece I was to stitch on this month. I stitched the Cookies area.

I have been wanting some kind of cross stitch stand and I have been perusing the net for awhile in search. So I finally decided on one and received it.
It is the Stitch Master from FA Edmunds. I am very excited about this purchase.

I was able to work on my rotation some last week but not as much as I had planned. I had a stitch friend come to my house on Thursday and we attended a stitch retreat over the weekend so my rotation was amended a little. But that is good with me as I was able to get quite a bit accomplished. I have quite a bit to show with haul so I am going to post that and info about the retreat in another posting. I hope you all have a great stitch week!

Weekly Stitching

I hope everyone is having a fabulous Monday! I can't believe it is already June and summer is starting. The weekend was beautiful out but back to rain today. I hope you have been able to get in lots of stitching lately.

I decided to start a small over the weekend so I can feel like I am getting some finishes. I have just about decided that I am going to start a small each month since most of my projects are BAP's.

I bought this as a kit and is a quick stitch.

I am currently participating in two round robins and wanted to show what I stitched on in May. May was the first month for both of these. The first one is a Lizzie Kate theme and I stitched the second line on this one. There are five of us in this round robin.

The second one is a Band Sampler theme where we will stitch a band of our choosing on everyone's piece. I stitched the second line on this one as well. There are nine of us in this one and this will make a nice long piece.

The person that had my Band Sampler posted a picture of what she did on it in May and here it is. I did the alphabet and she stitched the remainder. I am so pleased with this band. I sent fall colors for mine and this is so pretty.

I hope you all have a great week!

Weekly Stitching and Haul

Happy Tuesday Ya'll! This sun is shining bright here today and should be in the upper 70's. I am so excited the weather is getting nice and will be decorating my porch in flowers soon.

Since I finished two projects recently, I thought I should reward myself with a new start. I saw this hanging in an LNS about 20 years ago and knew I had to stitch it and I should not have waited so long. This is Angel of Love by Lavender and Lace.

I joined a round robin group on facebook and my mini introductory round is finished so I was able to join a large round for May. I actually joined two but only have one project to show you this week. The first one is a Band Sampler and I wanted mine to start off with an alphabet. I may add some vines and flowers around the alphabet, but I haven't yet decided just what I want to use. I am very excited about this as I am a big fan of band samplers and I can't wait to see what everyone adds to my piece.

I also joined one that is a Lizzie Kate theme and I have chosen Dog Rules for People. I will be able to show my start on it next week.



I got my first RAK this past week from a friend of mine. Gothic Cross by Heaven and Earth Designs. I did purchase the thread over the weekend and I already had fabric that would work, I plan to start this soon.

I don't have alot this week but hope you enjoy this post!

Lizzie Kate New Releases

Lizzie Kate has 3 new small projects that will be out next week. I like that they are Christmas themed but more so that they have a hint of primitive to them. Be sure and check your LNS to get these.
