Scissors Case Progress

 This project is perfect when I am busy or don't have a lot of energy.


I'm using threads from my stash. Will try to post what I am using when I finish the piece.

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.
