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

Good Morning! I hope you all had a fabulous Easter. Although we had rain last night, the weekend had nice weather and some great food at my grandmothers.

I am very excited to be able to show a finish this week. I started this piece at the very first retreat I went to. It was held in Nashville about two and a half years ago.

This is Old Glory by Rosewood Manor and it is stitched on 14 count aida called Brown Sugar by Under the Sea Fabrics.

I also joined a round robin group on facebook and you have to participate in a mini round robin before you can join a larger one. I am working on the mini right now so I can start a large, regular one in May. This is one of the pieces that I stitched on this past week. I did the top row.

I am not sure what I will stitch on next. I am thinking that I will have a new start with Angel of Love by Lavender and Lace and then pick up another wip-just not sure which one yet.

I hope you have a great stitchy week!

Round Robins

I have not participated in a round robin in several years but a stitch friend of mine asked me to stitch on her piece. There were not enough people to stitch the entire design that she was using, so I just finished stitching a square on it. The pattern is not one that I would have chosen to do for me but after seeing the squares stitched, it is very cute and I like it much better than just looking at the pattern. I stitched the upper left hand corner, Brassica.


I would love to hear about your round robins, please post info and pictures in the comments.
