Stitching Progress (?) (or drowning in UFO's)

I've added a few more UFO's to the ever growing list.... If I ever get everything straightened up, I will probably drown in them!

This is Seka's & Co. "Quilt Block Afghan". It is stitched on a Lady Elizabeth Afghan. I have three squares done on it so far.




This one is LHN "Brave Hearts". When pulled out of the UFO pile, it only had about half the house done. I've been working on this pretty steady lately.



This is the Quaker Mystery a bunch of us started years ago... It is one BAP!! Someday....


This is The Drawn Thread "Sampler Game Board". I really should work on this next, but, who knows? Maybe soon tho....


Here is a finish from my UFO Challenge list... this is JBW "French Country Pumpkin"


And, I found this in the bottom of one of my totes of UFO's!!! I'm sure I stitched it for my daughter, and never gave it to her.... Maybe I'll get it into a 'finished' state for an Easter gift.

Here is a little ditty I stitched up the other day to have ready for April. This is Calico Crossroads Mini-Kats "Meowy Showers".


And, I think I deserve to start a new project after I finish one more UFO!!! My new project will be Just Nan's "Bluebird Alphabet" that I purchased at Camp. All kitty'd up and ready to go....

That's it for this update.... More when I get a chance...

Thanks for taking the time to stop by, and leaving a comment! It is appreciated!

Happy Stitching...

It's finished!! -- and pictures

I have been working on this Table Topper forever! (not really, but, it has been a 'camp' project, and this year I decided to finish it!) I do like the way it turned out...

Dutch Treat Designs "Classic Quilt Squares"
Fabric: Silkweaver Anne Cloth 'Days Gone By'
Fibers: DMC Perle Cottons

And, I had stitched this little design up at Camp. My sister had brought me the 'kit' with the design, fabric, fibers and buttons. The chart showed it finished as a basket wrap around, but, I decided to make it into a little pillow. (I am thinking of passing this on to my DIL! - she likes things 'tres cute'!)

Stitchin' Fix "Easter Basket"
Fabric: 18ct. Star Sapphire Linen
Fibers: Assorted 'cool' fibers

On another note... my sister Reee knits me socks. I love the socks she knits me... from the little ones for golf, to my big ones to keep my feet warm! Aren't they cool?

Any way... she keeps telling me that I could knit my own socks.... NOT! About all I can handle is knitting dishcloths! LOL So... she was very surprised when I told her I was sending her a pair of socks that I had knitted!!! Here is a picture of the socks that I knitted, (look close... they are in there!):

Knitted Kitty Creations "I Finally Knit Socks"
A Freebie in her 'odds & ends' collection
Knit in Red Sugar 'n Cream Cotton Yarn

I finally pulled the fibers for the Papillon Creations new Mystery Project "Castles in the Air". I debated over this a long time... finally had my daughter help me out, and then sent my DIL off to Hobby Lobby with a list, and instructions to change them, if they didn't 'look' right. She picked out what I had listed.

Floss toss for 'Castles In the Air'

Fabric: 28ct. Evenweave 'cream'
Fibers & Beads: DMC -- Gold metallic, Frosted gold and frosted orange beads

And for a parting shot... you get a picture of my big metal turkey. My son and DIL gave him to me a few Thanksgivings past, and he has a place of honor in the dining room bay window. He likes to dress up for the holidays... He thinks he is disquised as the Easter Bunny!


Take joy in the day -- wherever you may find it!!!

Family news.... DH no longer has to go to the podiatrist!! His foot is completely healed, and he is back to work!!! Thank you to all who offered up a little prayer...

If you made it this far... thanks for taking the time to look at my pictures, and read my ramblings. I appreciate you stopping by...

Stitching pictures

I had an urge to stitch pink! LOL So, I stitched up some Valentine designs...

For my sister, I stitched up a SanMan design and finished it into a pinkeep.

From top, clockwise: Dragonfly Stitches "2009 Be My Valentine", Charland Designs "Heart Scissor Fob"; The Drawn Thread "All you need is Love"; Mosey 'n Me "All Buttoned Up"; and Elizabeth's Designs "Love". They were all gifted to stitchers!

And, I stitched up a SanMan design 'A Cup of Winter', finished it into a flatfold, and sent it down to Sharon. I included some hot chocolate, chocoalate treats, and some winterfresh gums.


Other than that... I've been stitching on monthly designs for my kitchen calendar holder, (need to get some pictures of those), and a LHN design, and my projects for the spring exchange.

Camp Stitch-a-lot is in 16 days, and I have to finish up my name tag and decide what to pack! I am soooo excited about camp this year. I need to get away from the daily stuff at home for a few days.

Thanks for looking, and Happy Stitching!

Always & Forever

A few pictures today!

Here is a picture of what I stitched up for my nephew and his bride for their wedding:

LHN Always & Forever
Fabric: Silkweaver 32 ct. Little Lavender
Fiber: CC Aunt Marie's Violet
Did the frame puple, and then a whitewash.

And, here are pictures of my handsome nephew, Doug -- his beautiful bride, Deja, and their daughter, Charlie Ann:


This one is my sister, Reee, Deja, Doug, my BIL Tim, and my Mom.

*******************************************

This is another one I finished up... It was a kit, done on aida. I had stitched it in 2005. but just got around to putting it in the frame. I *think* it was a Linda Myers design.

Yea Detroit Red Wings!!! Winners of the 2008 Stanley Cup!!!

Thanks for stopping by! I really do appreciate it....

Ewe's Here!!!! and a few finishes :-)

An exciting way to arrive home!! There was a package on the front porch! Oh my... is it addressed to me???? Yippee! Skippee!!! It is! It is! I don't recognize the address.... Hmmm....

Finally got thru the 'well taped' package, and got it opened. It's from Edgar, and just jam-packed full of goodies!!! It was the SBEBB 'Here's to Ewe' Exchange. Edgar made the most fantastic pinkeep! Isn't it beautiful?

And packed in the box, with foam peanuts, were all these goodies: Two, count them, Two, charts from my wish list! Pins! Cutest Sheep Buttons! and Honeysuckle Lotion!!! (I love the smell of Honeysuckle -- remember the old Avon one? It reminds me of my Grandmother, who taught me to stitch, and knit.)

What can I say? Edgar, I am overwhelmed with your generosity!!! Thank you so much! You are such a sweetie!!! (And, I'm looking forward to getting to know you better!)

******************************************************
