There is a Time Finish

I finished There is a Time from the Joy in the Journey leaflet. As you can see I did not stitch the potted plants at the bottom. The finish turned out to be 5 x 7 which seemed like it would be easier to frame and I like the way it looks, too.

Enjoy your weekend and take time to stitch.

There is a Time WIP

This is the second chart I am stitching from the Diane Williams leaflet called Joy in the Journey.  

I changed the color of the house to red instead of a light tan.

Joy in the Journey Finish

This was such a wonderful project to stitch.  I have not decided which chart in this leaflet I will do next but I may have to switch to another project before I can start another Joy in the Journey chart.

I hope you can find time to stitch this holiday weekend.

Joy in the Journey WIP

I have started Joy in the Journey by Diane Williams. I certainly enjoy her charts. This is a leaflet with several charts in it. I don't see this leaflet on line anywhere right now but the title chart that I have started is available as a stand alone chart several places.

It is available at 123 Stitch  as a single chart.  I also saw it on ebay and etsy as either a kit by Designs for the Needle or as a downloadable pdf chart in some places.

Happy Easter

Finish Mom's Best Pies

I only stitched part of the entire chart but it's my favorite part so I am calling this one done.

I have some charts by Diane Williams called Joy in the Journey that I ordered from Amazon and I cannot wait to get started on them. 

Have a great weekend of stitching.

Mom's Best Pies

I haven't made very much progress since Christmas but I think I will stitch until the bottom of the list of pies and then put the checkerboard strip and call it done.  I have so many other projects I am looking forward to stitching next.

Happy Stitch Days

End of Year Post

Merry Christmas 

I finished a couple of the Pinker n Punkin free chart. The pink is on 14 count aida and the tan is a scrap of 18 count aida that was in my stash. I wish I had labeled the fabric because I love how soft it is.

I also started "Mom's Best Homemade pies in the August 1993 issue of Cross Country Stitching

Have a blessed Christmas and a Happy New Year

xs Xmas Card Pink Stocking

I finished the Sue Hillis pink Stocking that I had started last week.  That's all the stitching that I did this week - I spent the rest of my play time thinking about how to make these little finishes into ornaments to put in the Christmas cards.  I think it's time to stop thinking about them and actually try to finish one - I may use this finish for my first try.

Wish me luck

Have a great week of stitching ♥

xs Xmas Cards again

I am working on a pink stocking designed by Sue Hillis.  In the middle is a truck from Pinker n Punkin's blog and the boy pulling a sled is another Ellen Maurer-Stroh from her advent calendar.  

I have been busy making orange cookies that my grandma used to make when I was a little girl.  The recipe is in the right margin at the very top - the most popular post on my blog.   I hope you click on the picture for the post and decide to make some.

Have a great weekend of stitching ♥

2 more Xmas Card WIPS

The first chart  of the manger is a modification of a Pinker n Punkin free chart that is part of her Prim series - it can be downloaded here .  I like the original much more than this modification but I needed something square for the particular card blank I am going to put this in.

The cat with Christmas balls was something that I must have downloaded years ago but unfortunately, I did not save information as far as designer or where I found it.

So now there are two more finished stitches that will be for Christmas Cards.  I have started thinking maybe I should try to make ornaments that will fit in the Christmas Card blanks.  I will puzzle over that while I pick out some more charts to stitch.

I hope you have time to do some stitching over the weekend

XS Wips

I have been doing some stitching so I should share some pictures. 

The first picture is my progress on The Victoria Sampler Christmas Treasures Collection.  A few of the charts have been substituted from other sites but I think I will finish stitching those pieces from the collection because the substituted pieces don't really seem to go with the others from Victoria Sampler as far the style

This next photo has the two charts I have stitched for Christmas Cards. The angel facing to the right is a chart by Lesley Teare which can be found on her blog.  She has a sampler of Christmas charts for 2021.  The duck pull toy is a part of a chart from an advent calendar designed by Ellen Maurer-Stroh.  I am not sure where you could find her advent calendar - I downloaded it years ago when she offered it for free.

Have a great week of stitching

Help me find this chart

EDIT:  wow! it has already been found.  It's called Mom's Best and is in the August 1993 issue of Cross Country Stitching.  I found the magazine at an Etsy shop and I have already ordered it.  I couldn't be more grateful ♥

Mom's Best Homemade Pies.

 I found this picture of a cross stitched piece on line.  I have been searching for it in so many places and now I have lost the place where I first saw it.  It does show up on pinterest occasionally but it does not list the information that would help me google it.

It may have published in a magazine for all I know.

Does anyone know anything about this design - designer or publication?

If anyone has this design for sale I am most eager to stitch this so send me your price.

Thank you for any help you can give me
