Gifted Gorgeousness October

 I finally fully finished this baby sampler!

And mailed it with a baby gift. Hope they like it.

IHSW for June

 It is hard to believe that it was the 3rd weekend of the month.

There is a Facebook group for this weekend or you can check it out on Jo's blog. 

Here is what I worked on:

Pretty Little Baby-Satsuma Street

 

I finished the name, but realized I shouldn't post it here.... Now to fully finish it and send it to my nephew and his wife and baby.

Here is Agnus Dei:

Finish

It feels like a major accomplishment that I am almost to the corner. I still have the center to do, but I can feel a finish!

 

Here is my Ode to a Palette class project:

A bit more to do on it, but I feel like I made some progress. My hope is to have it done by the end of June. It is supposed to be the cover for my next Bullet Journal.

A Baby Gift

 Well, my great-niece has arrived and I need to finish this piece and send it off before she gets too old!

A letter a day and I would be done this week! Don't hold your breath though....

A Finish-Sort Of

 I am done with Pretty Little Baby until I find out the baby's name.

It was a fun project and I really loved using the Cosmos Threads and the Russian Tea Cake linen.

My Progress for the Weekend

 No, I did not stitch on My Beloved. I must finish this project as it is a gift:

 Starting point:

 Where I ended:

By the way, this was possible because I gave myself permission to sit and stitch as much as possible as it was the International Hermit and Stitch Weekend!

Did you get much done?

International Hermit and Stitch Weekend

 This weekend is the IHSW. Yipee! Not that I will sit and stitch all weekend, but I hope to do a little extra stitching. If you want to find more information, check out Facebook  . 

Here is what I plan on stitching-

Springhill by Rosewood Manor

17th Century Whitework Sampler by Thistle Threads:

or Pretty Little Baby

Hopefully I will post a progress report on Monday!

My Relaxing Piece

 I have found this piece very relaxing. It has big blocks of color and I truly enjoy stitching with Cosmos thread. If you are curious, I would highly recommend it as a substitute for DMC or Anchor.

I think I will frame this in a hoop. It will be a cute baby gift when complete.

Here is My Pretty Little Baby Progress

 College students are still here and I feel like I spend a lot of time cooking for all the bottomless pits!

Here is where my piece is today:

Sorry for the bad lighting. I will get one good photo of this piece before I finish it!

A Start

 Well, I don't think I have ever posted this piece here. It is a gift for my nephew and his wife who are expecting a baby this spring.

I bought the pattern and threads from Sassy Jack's

Kim changed out the DMC for Cosmos Threads. I must admit, I love them!

Here are my progress photos:

And yesterday:

I got up this morning to do a little stitching and realized I had made a mistake. It is at the very bottom of the pattern. Rats!

I have to frog everything above and to the right of the red circle. I am afraid to leave the mistake in as it will totally mess up the dome on the top. Thank goodness I received a seam ripper as a Christmas gift along with some tweezers...
