September 2024 IHSW

 Well, I managed to finish No Time Like the Present by Modern Folk Embroidery.

Then I moved on to my Bargello GCC -

Since I finished the lesson I moved to Dawn to Dusk 

I finished two motifs so I pulled out Alice Ellen Usher (are you catching a theme?)

Wow! She is a big girl!

Then a friend reminded me I needed to get the pre-work done for Africana 

So I started it. Look at the threads!

I need to concentrate on something so I can get another finish!

Happy Dance!

 

I finished No Time Like the Present by Modern Folk Embroidery. I used 45 count Pink Chocolate linen from BestitchMe and silk by Hand-dyed fibers(Vicki Clayton silks)  Colors used were Fish Pepper(4431), Cerveza (4147) and Magpie Tears(2351). 

IHSW September 2024

 Well, my goal is to get No Time Like the Present by Modern Folk Embroidery stitched this weekend.

Oh so close!

I may work on another project too but this is my priority.

September is Done!

Well, I finished the September section of No Time Like the Present by Modern Folk Embroidery. 

See the circled bit below? That is the bottom of the sampler. I'm so close but I had the urge to start something new.

 So I did!

This is the start of a Group Correspondence Course by Gail Stafford on Bargello.

Start of Sampler September

 I want to show my calendar for August.

And I have decided to stitch on No Time Like the Present by Modern Folk Embroidery until I get it done or I can't stand it anymore.

If I need to switch off, I will work on Dawn to Dusk.

I Love This Project!

 I am trying to get this completed this year.

I need to get the other squirrel done but I had to start the stag.

IHSW is Over

 I was able to get a little bit done.

IHSW August 2024

 I plan on working on my two major wips -Dawn to Dust and MFE No Time Like the Present 

Let's see what I can get done.

July is Done

 

This is such an enjoyable stitch. No Time Like the Present by Modern Folk Embroidery.

July needs a Few More Days

 

I don't think I can get the July section done before the end of the month, but I'm trying.

IHSW-July 2024

 IHSW was last weekend.

Here is where I started:

Dawn to Dusk 

No Time Like the Present 

And here's my stopping point:

Making progress.

Working on July

 

I'm really enjoying this piece.

Modern Folk Embroidery June

 I'm still behind on this piece. But I am making progress!

And here is my calendar for June.

Working on June

 I am making progress on MFE, No Time Like the Present SAL. 

Plans for June

 I managed to get one more layer done on Dawn to Dusk. I hope to get the next layer done in June.

I have started the May assignment on MFE. Hopefully I can get it done in June.

I also hope to finish my wool eyeglass case and get some more work done on my HAED. We will see.

IHSW May 2024-End of Weekend

 Well, I was able to make progress on several things. 

The 17th Century Whitework Sampler has a mistake that I will take care of next time I work on it.

April is done on No Time Like the Present 

And I did some needle lace for my Cabinet of Curiosity 

IHSW May 2024

 Well, I have been a fairly monogamous stitcher for the month of May. Which is why those two pockets got stitched! Here are my photos of things I think I will work on this weekend, although I may just stick with one....

None are close to a finish so it is hard to decide what to stitch.

May WIPs

 I think I need a placeholder for all the WIPs I hope to work on in May.

Mary Ann Bickerton's Tudor Rose Pocket:

Yes, my cat missed me while I was gone.

IHSW Progress April

 Well, I got a little done on my planned projects and added a new WIP to the pile.

My local guild has a wool applique workshop with the Woolen Needle. It was great fun!

Here's my piece( it will be a pocket)

I now wish I had bought another one in a different colorway.

IHSW

 Here's my start for the weekend:
