Lots of Stitching This Weekend

I was able to get a bunch done this weekend. I can taste a finish on this piece!
Here is the piece at the beginning of the weekend:

Here is where I ended up:

I also worked on my art quilt:

And finished my biscornus:

International Hermit and Stitch Weekend

Well, I managed to get some stitching done this weekend despite dropping my youngest at college and working my guild's webpage.
I taught them blackwork earlier this month and I am trying to get the little squares I stitched made into biscornus.

I dyed the aida myself and think it came out rather nice. Now to get 4 biscornus ready so I can teach in October.
Hope everyone got some stitching time this weekend!

Stitching the Same Thing Again

I made this biscornu a while back but now I need to make more. Why? Because I am going to teach it to my local embroidery guild.
Here is the one I originally made:

 Here are the linens I dyed for my guild:

I am stitching a few samples on aida that I dyed:

I want to have a few pieces to pass around the meeting. Also, then I can have a few ready for when I show them how to finish the pieces. But I need to hurry as the meeting is in a few weeks!

A Few Smalls

Heather at   Stitching Lotus   hosts a Smalls SAL   that is due the last Friday of every month. She has not posted every time, but does that really matter? We are all busy and life is crazy. This is a hobby for pete's sake! (Okay! Done ranting!) I am late too!
Here are the smalls I stitched earlier this month:

 Not sure how I am going to FFO the Autumn Berries, but I do know I need to make a few more biscornu's. They are so much fun!

I also finished Black Swallowtail by Mill Hill. I have such a stack of things to FFO. HELP!
Since I have all these finishes, I can start a few new projects right? Never mind that Christmas Stocking needs to get done along with Drawn Thread Sampler.....            

Finishes!!

I was able to completely finish this little biscornu.

 Don't look too carefully as I am not a great finisher....
And Autumn Berries is totally stitched.

It was great fun and I was able to use my Victorian Motto Sampler Threads on it.
I have a huge stack of stuff to finish, and I hope to get to them before the end of the year.
