WIPocalypse Post September 2023

 Well, I made some serious dents in my WIPs. Very Excited! This SAL is run by Melissa over at Measi's Musings . Her question this month is "Are you a seasonal stitcher? If so, which seasons do you find yourself more productive or less productive?" I tend to find more time to stitch in the winter as I don't have the garden, but I stitch almost every day.

I finished Mary Parson 1790:

I also started and finished the Mabel Tuke Small from the September Soiree run by Sassy Jack's.

I have managed to finish another letter for the Sampler Book by Erica Michaels:

And I finished Drawn Thread Sampler by Gay Ann Rogers:

A Finish!

 I managed to finish Mary Parsons 1780 by The Uncommon Thread. Yipee!

I had to adjust several things because of my mistakes. Now to get her framed.

Well, I'm Close to A Finish

 I have been working hard on Mary Parsons:

Hopefully I will pull her back out this week. Right now, my Drawn Thread Sampler is calling my name.

IHSW August 2023

 Well, I had a lot of time to stitch this past weekend.

 

Here are my pieces:

Saturday I took a class with Gentle Pursuits Designs through The Tudor Rose Sampler Guild

 It was a great class and I highly recommend Cissy as a teacher.

I also finished a square on Drawn Thread Sampler:

It is the center square in the photo. A little wonky close up, but if I am a few feet away, it looks fine.

I was bound and determined to work on the border of Mary Parsons:

Counting is very important on borders....

And then I worked on Susan Schlitcher 1845:

Those colors make me happy!

International Hermit and Stitch Weekend July 2023

 Well, this is the weekend we stitch and then post our progress.

At least I think it was...It is usually the 3rd weekend, but I noticed on the Facebook page that it is this weekend. That worked out well for me as my guild had its monthly stitching meeting.

Here are all the projects I worked on this weekend:

Pour ta Fete had stitches put in and then the same stitches taken out:

I donated platelets early Saturday Morning:

I stitched the couching around Shimmering Dreams:

Drawn Thread Sampler has two more squares completed:

Mary Parson's got a few stitches

And I got the stitching done for my Quaker Hornbook and extra pillows!

New Project Start

 Well yesterday  I was able to take a class with the fantastic Kathy Andrews from The Unbroken Thread

I started the sampler Mary Parsons:

I was trying to get to the maze, but spent too much time chatting!

 We did have fun!
