In Rememberance

September 11, 2001, I watched in horror as the US was attacked. I will always remember the heroes and the victims. Thank you all from you sacrifices.

Not much to show

A co-worker ask me to make crocheted a blanket for her next grand baby. I'm about three fourths done. I really like the pattern but putting the strips on is like crocheting the blanket twice.


Other than that I've been working on exchanges so no pictures of them to show yet.



But I did organize this drawer of silk ribbon so I could share the with a stitcher who is taking SharonB's Silk Ribbon Embroidery class. I bought these 6 or 7 years ago from Pink Peppercorns. I wish she were still in business.


They all have their own little drawer now in a 48 drawer cabinet like my I did with my DMC threads.

Thanks for coming by I'll try to have something interesting share next time.



Happy Stitching

Mary Wigham progress

I am really enjoying MW. Even DH likes this one although he questions some of the colors..men. We're both amazed that she was only 9 years old when she started this. I've tried to stick to the way it is charted and can really empathize with her struggle as some of the motifs are a certainly a challenge. LOL

I wish to thank Needleprint and Shari of the USA blog for all of your encouragement, support and especially the resources you have provided. This has been my most enjoyable SAL.
Thanks a bunch.

15 Sided Biscornu

This is one I made last year from quilting fabric. I cut fabric squares, basted them to 2" square pieces of paper and pieced them like English paper piecing.

The fabric squares are piece a little different that the cross stitched 15 sided Biscornus that are more circular. I really prefer them star shaped but I wouldn't

mind one or two of each. {greedddy}

Thanks for stopping by. Please leave a comment

Spirit of America Angel Finished

I loved this design from JCS and Brook Noland. It was a fun, quick stitch. She will now reside in my sewing room to watch over all my UFO's. LOL What a tremendous job I've given her. Now I'm sitting on pins and needles waiting for the three new Halloween Witches to arrive at my LNS.

I will be gone until late Sunday for a visit to see DM and DB in San Diego. Poor DH is on his own for 4 days. I did leave him a fridge full of food and baked him a cake. So he is not to poor.

Thank you for visiting. Please leave a comment.

Mary Wigham, Ackworth Sampler SAL

I joined the Mary Wigham Ackworth Sampler SAL a couple of weeks ago. This is my progress so far. Part four is out but I'm really far behind. So far I've stitched "most" of part one a a tinny bit of part two.

In other stitching I've stitched all but the stars on the "Spirit of America" angel from the last JCS issue. It's a Brook Noland design, love her work, She has two new Halloween Witches I've ordered from my LNS. I hope they will be in when I get back from my trip to California to visit my DM & DB.

Please leave a comment, I really appreciate them.
