Weekly Stitching and Haul

I was able to stitch more than usual this past week and I got quite a few stitches in on several projects.

I am getting closer to a page finish on Henry but confetti is starting so it is a little slower now.

Henry VIII-Heaven and Earth Designs

Needles and Pins-Theron Traditions

I started this one a good while ago and haven't worked on it in quite some time. I have to rip out the blue line, as it is supposed to be red and will do that this week. I finished Mississipi and Illinois and the portion of the red line above those.

One Nation-Bygone Stitches

I started a couple of new things.

I love the Wizard of Oz and this pattern was in a magazine, the Cross Stitcher issue 281.

I also started Fire and Ice. I have had this pattern for several years and it will be a gift for my husband. I have the companion piece called Golden Ice but haven't started it yet.

I am trying hard not to purchase anything right now. I will be having a total knee replacement on October 31 and will be off work for about 12 weeks so I need to not make any purchases.

However, I have wanted one of these lap/table stands since I saw it and since my birthday is coming up, I got one. They are made by Michael Hope and his wife Bonnie is on several facebook groups that I am a member of and that is where I saw it. I can't sing its praises enough as it is fantastic and the best gadget I have purchased in quite some time.

I hope you all have a great stitch week!

Weekly Update and Haul

Happy Memorial Day! I hope you all have had a great holiday weekend.

I was able to work on two projects this past week. The first one is Medieval Town Mandala by Chatelaine.

I also worked on Gothic Cross by Heaven and Earth Designs and was able to get quite a bit done.

And now for haul-I got some pretty great stuff this past week.

The first two selections in the American Series.

I purchased fabric for this project as I am going to stitch all 9 on one piece of fabric.
This is 32 count Tin Roof.

I got two pieces of this blue and white gingham that I am going to use for a Wizard of Oz pattern that I got out of a magazine. I apologize that I can't show the pattern as I only have the actual pattern and not a picture of the finished project. I am stitching this twice, ond for me and one for a friend.

Isn't this fabric fantastic?! I saw someone that had used this fabric and stitched a mermaid on it and I thought I need that too!

I hope this week is great for you all and you find time to get some stitches in.

Haul

Yesterday, I walked in the door and there were packages! I ordered a project bag and qsnap cover last week and was shocked that I got it so quickly. The bag and cover are for 17 x 17 qsnap size and the fabric is just great. I love the yellow brick road fabric that lines the inside. I purchased this from a cool chic on Facebook named Deanna. Be sure and check out her page, place an order and tell her Laura sent you!

I love Little House Needleworks and I signed up for autoship to receive their Presenting ABC Samplers series. I am purchasing these from the Silver Needle. I chose to have the fabric sent with each pattern and I received the third installment in the series.

I have a couple of more items on the way and I should have those by the first of next week. Share your haul with me in the comments!
