Gifted Gorgeousness July 2025

 This is the SAL set up by Jo over at Serendipitous Stitching where we show things that are gifts for people, are stitching pieces that were gifted to us,etc.

I have been trying to get my Pour ta Fete done:

I realized I made a counting error and had to rip! 
Sigh.

 But I am slowly making progress.

Phoenix Band Sampler

 I have been working on my Phoenix Band Sampler by Northern Expressions Needlework.

I had to play with my colors.  


 


I finally decided on a Vikki Clayton silk Umber 4257. My goal is to get all the cross stitch done on the second band. It is a start a long with FiberTalk and I am bound and determined not to let this one end up in my basement! Here are a couple of videos of our progress.

A Single Thread

 I was stitching along and realized I was one thread over on Pour ta Fete.


Can you see the problem?


I will be ripping as I can see it. And I know that to the left of the brown will be a straight line of stitches. The mistake will really show up.

Wipocaplypse June 2025

 It's not quite the end of the month, but I have managed to stitch on Pour ta Fete everyday:



It wasn't a lot of stitches as I had a family emergency, but every little bit helps!

I also finished a section on my Limonera Pear:

Worked a little on Hapsburg Lace Needle case:


Started my oxen for my Harmony of Nature casket:
And fully finished a Stitched Stories project:
