Gifted Gorgeousness August 2025

 Today is the day we post items that have to do with gifts. The complete information can be found at Serendipitous Stitching the awesome blog by Jo.

A friend and her husband are fantastic gardeners. I went the other day and picked banana peppers that I pickled:

I also made honey mustard pickles that I will gift later this fall.

I have been working on Pour ta Fete. I keep thinking I will finish this month, but I know it won't get done until December. Lots and lots of tiny stitches!

 

Sampler U Through EGA

 Through FiberTalk, I was given the opportunity to work on Running With Needles and Scissors beautiful sampler .

If you have the opportunity, sign up for Sampler U through EGA.

I decided to work on Isabella:

The colors are gorgeous and she is so much fun! She is put away again, but after I finish Pour ta Fete, she might come back out to play!

Band 2 is Complete

 

Except I need to add beads.

Phoenix Band Sampler

 I have been trying to stay on task with my stitching. I've given myself 18 months to finish this project. Let's see how that goes!

The large Rhodes stitch is incorrect and will need to be ripped!

July was Busy

My mother in law passed away in June and we held her memorial in July. It was a lovely service for a wonderful lady.
