A Finish and Two Wips

What was a WIP on Friday night is now a finish! Two football games provided ample stitching time to get this finished. The design is called Sweetheart Pincushion and it is from Blackbird Designs. The linen in this photo is more accurate than last night’s photo; it’s 36ct Tango from Picture this Plus.


I was too busy watching football last night to dig in my WIP basket(s), so I pulled two WIPs out tonight.

WIP#4 is from Homespun Samplar and it is called the Strawberry Sampler. I didn’t like the linen I started it on (PTP Doubloon - too orange) and so I started over. This might be Wren from PTP.


WIP#5 is the Snooty Parrot Sampler from Barbara Ana. I’m stitching it with silks. I should really give this some love.

Happy that the Titans won last night and the Vikings today. Hoping for a Seattle win now. Let’s hope I can keep up my stitching and blogging momentum during the week!

Beautiful finish--I have had this in my stash for a few years. Living in Nashville, it was very exciting to see them win,

You are on a roll! We went to visit friends, so we were only able to watch the first half of the Vikings game. Although we're Bears fans, I'm happy for a Vikings win for you and my son-in-law!

Congrats on finishing the stitching on Sweetheart Pincushion! I am looking forward to seeing it when you make it into a pincushion.

I love that 36 ct Tango linen! Even though I have enough linen to open my own fabric shop, I may have to get a piece of the Tango. Your stitched piece is beautiful.
