What I Stitched Over the Weekend

 Well, I am a day late, but here is my post for the IHSW.

I worked on Pour ta Fete:

I finished a page on my HAED:

Worked a bit on my Drawn Thread Sampler:

I got some work done on my Quaker Hornbook:

And I finished a piece of needlepoint into a bag using stash:

All It Needs is Beads

I finished my last Promise of a Mystery.  Hopefully I can find the right clor of bead  in my stash to put in the  crescents...

Promise of A Mystery-Ran out of Thread

 I was working on my border when I ran out of Kreinik #12.  Thanks goodness my LNS is getting some in later this week.

I did not do the couching stitch that Sue Reed suggested.  I did a satin stitch in my overdyed thread. 

I Want to Start a New Project but...

I need to finish Promise of a Mystery for my EGA meeting in October. My dd wants to know what I'm going to do with this one.

I have no clue, but I think she is hinting that she likes it.

September Promise is Done

It is so hot here that I could not go weed. My veggies will have to fend for themselves.... But I did manage to get some stitching in.

Maybe by tomorrow I will have my Pretty Purse sewn up. I need a little help from my friends as the instructions for finishing don't make sense to me.

Promise of A Mystery-Continued

I have been stitching, but there isn't much to show. This is the September stitches and I find it very tedious. Goblin and tent stitch. I will put a yellow Kreinik in the center, but I'm not sure what I will couch it with yet. I really want to work on Serpentine by Ro Pace, but I must get this done.

A Finish and More Promise

I finished this a few weeks ago and gave it to a friend. It is a Mill Hill Bead kit called Hot Stuff. She tried to stitch it herself but said it was too stressful. I found it lots of fun. I am trying to get more done on my Promise of a Mystery. The ladies in my EGA said they wanted more than one stitch this month. My goal is to get June, July and August done. That should keep them busy!!!

Promise of a Mystery-June

I was on vacation and although I stitched while away, I have nothing "great" to show. Maybe I will take a photo of what I did and post it tomorrow.
My EGA is stitching Promise and I need to keep one month ahead. I used a different color family than suggested and I like how it turned out.

The main thing I did on vacation was buy some fabulous fabrics! Now those I should post. Manana.

Promise of a Mystery-May

I had some time so I stitched the cresent stitches for my May Promise of a Mystery.

I have tons of projects in various stages of completion....At least this one is caught up for now...

Primary Colors for my SOTM 2010

I have finished April which did not take me much time. The color family was supposed to be A-blues in this version, but I wanted red hearts.

I love how it adds so much dimension to the piece.

Framed

This is the first Promise of a Mystery by Sue Reed. I decided to get it framed and hang it at Christmas.

This is the frame my dd picked for her fairy. I cannot get a good picture of it.
