Lady of the Flag WIP

I decided to finish the flag on July 4th after this had been sitting idle for so long. The flag took much longer than I was thinking it would but I am ready to move on to finishing the dress now.

One new accessory that is most helpful in keeping my place in this larger project is a Stitch Tracker available at https://www.purplehobbies.com/store/p63/Stitch_Tracker.html#/.

 

 Keep on stitching ♥

Celebrate July 4th

Have a safe and happy July 4th as you celebrate freedom in this great land of ours.

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
