The last week or two were quite busy with stitching opportunities and family commitments. Some of my stitching friends decided they wanted to commit some time to finishing; so we blocked two entire days! I’ve made some good progress but still have quite a large bag of things that need to be finished. This is a common problem for most of us I think. We love to spend time stitching, but are not so fond of the finishing part. We’re going to dedicate two days again in June. I’ll keep picking away at the things in that bag. Here are a few of the things I accomplished.
Hemstitching…I have a handful of samplers that I want to hemstitch. Not everything needs to be hung on the wall, but it’s nice to have it fully finished. I worked on hemstitching these two samplers. The one on the left is the 2025 Countdown collaboration between Modern Folk Embroidery, Roxy Floss Co., and Evertote. The sampler on the right was stitched quite a few years ago. It’s the Scottish sampler from Amy Mitten’s Around the World series.
This little pillow is from Samplers Not Forgotten. We got the pattern at a Quilter’s Station retreat a few years ago. Kim Nugent sold it as a kit at market this year. The design is called “Roses and Scrolls”.
Finally, I participated in Spring Mingle last weekend and took Cathy Habermann’s class to complete “Do Dragons Fly?” Cute octagonal shaped pincushion with a dragonfly pin. Love Cathy’s creative ideas and finishes.
Which reminds me - did I ever share this needlebook finish with you? It’s the Perforated Poinsettia Needlebook and a Poinsettia Puff. This was Cathy’s project at the Jingle Ball last December.
That’s all for today. I have a couple more projects that are close to being finished, so I’ll have more to share in a few days. Thank you for stopping by!
