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!

Good Morning Stitchers!! It is quite cold out today but the sun is shining bright and it's going to be a great day.

I have a finish!!
Brooke's Books Advent Animal 2

The first picture is the one that I had posted the last time.

I stitched on 272 Words for the first time in a couple of weeks and very pleased with my progress.

I also worked on Save the Stitches.

It is really hard to get going today. I think all the rain and dreary weather just has me moving slow. I have had my coffee and hopefully it will kick in soon. I hope you all had a great stitchy weekend.

I worked on Save the Stitches over the weekend. Some of the work isn't exactly like the pattern as I am doing it on aida and some of the stitches work much better for linen. So, I have changed a little of it.

I started a new project on the 17th for the Year of Starts with Stitch Maynia on facebook.

It will look like this once completed.

I have a mini finish!!

I hope you all have a great week!

I hope everyone has had a great week and got lots of stitching time in.

I started the second Advent Animal by Brookes Books.

I worked mostly on Save the Stitches by Blackwork Journey. I was very intimidated by this piece as I had never done a piece that was primarily blackwork but I love this piece. I have barely put it down over this past week. The pattern is free and the site has several other great freebies as well. I have plans of doing a couple of the others once this one is completed.

My plans this week include a new start! I joined an event through Stitch Maynia on facebook where you start a new project on the 17th of each month. I am still contemplating what it will be but I am thinking it might be a Christmas one. I should also have some haul to show later in the week. I ordered some things last year and they have now been shipped and set for delivery so I am hoping they will be here tomorrow. I am very excited to share those. I hope you all have a great week!

Happy New Year! I hope everyone had a great holiday and that you are all ready for a great new year. Did you start something new on the 1st? I would love to hear what you worked on.

The last time I showed you 272 Words, it looked like this.

I was able to get quite a bit done on this over the past week.

I started a new project on January 1. Save the Stitches by Blackwork Journey. The pattern is a freebie and I have had the fabric and thread for quite awhile but I was a bit intimidated on starting it. I have never done blackwork before and some of the designs are quite intricate, however, I am really enjoying this piece. I changed the thread color and I am using Blackberry by Weeks Dye Works. The pattern does call for some metallic colors but I am not sure I will use any of them.

On January 2, I decided to pull out a wip to work on as I am going to try very hard this year to get many wips finished. I had the wording already stitched-I started this piece in August 2016. I stitched the flags yesterday. This one is called Patriotic Quilt by Rosewood Manor.

I hope you all have a great stitchy week!
