It's a Finish!

 

Between family activities, I managed to get this Bargello GCC by Gail Stafford finished! Yippee! What trouble can I get into in 2025?

TUSAL December 2024

 Wow! 2024 flew by! I was able to complete 22 projects (at least the way I count!) I need to post my last finish of the year. Here's my jar of orts.



It's quite full. I have an idea for a project. Maybe I can use my orts in it.

Merry Christmas!

 Hope you have a wonderful day!

I managed to finish my Baltic Easter Basket Cover by Avlea.


I need to do the hem stitch but it is nice to have another finish.

Back of my Work

 Do you pay attention to the back of your work? I have a feeling that I will be marked down because I carried a few threads...


But the front looks ok.

Whoop!

 I was able to get the top corner motif done. Now I need to get the border started.

Gifted Gorgeousness December 2024

 Can you believe it is almost the end of the year?

I won't have this done in time for Christmas but I'm trying to get it done before Valentine's day. We will see.

This is a corner of the big Avlea Baltic Easter Basket Cover by Avlea. I have a few borders to add and the hemstitch.

I finished the leaves on this section. Now I need to make the detached bits.

Gimpy likes the new tree skirt.

Counting

 

It's difficult for me to count this so I have moved to doing one row before I start the next row/color.

Should I Have Multiple Needles?

 I have a difficult time with Bargello as I get confused with the patterns. Maybe I should thread up several needles and see if that helps.

I'm Building a House

 If only I could count. I know I have made my house at least a stitch too high. Oh well.



I'm putting this away for a little bit. I need to get some other stitching done.

Busy Life

 Big life changes going on. When things settle down, I will share them. I have been working on my little gold work hedgehog from Clara's Stitching.

Happy Halloween!

 My neighbor made these years ago:


They remind me of a wonderful Christian lady who was so kind to me.

I had to take my mother in law to the doctor. Lots of stitching time on this project.


Candy corn and peanuts- balanced diet!

A Bit on Pour ta Fete

 I pulled this out again as it's on my M.A.G.I.C list for the Tudor Rose Sampler Guild. 



Excuse the wrinkles!

Dawn to Dusk Done?

 I think I am done with Dawn to Dusk. The design calls for another border, but I like it this way.

It looks so much better in person!


Sunday, October 20, 2024

 Well, I managed to get some stitching done.

Dawn to Dusk by Textured Treasures

Ending point - I finished the border and started to bead.

 I should work on some of my other projects but this one is calling me.



Progress

 I am almost ready to add beads to my motifs. 


Then I need to finish the border.
