Day 21-A Challenge Project


My friends and I made these shrink charms and then challenged ourselves to do something with them. The fabric above was from my stash and then I painted it. I have an idea that I need to do and get done before the end of the month.

Day 20-Candy Swirl Santa

I put this on my list last year, but did not get it done. Hope I can find the threads that finish this off.Could I be lucky and find them in the box marked "Santa"?

Day 19- The Kitty by Bent Creek

My dd saw this in a bag I won from my local needlework shop and thought I should stitch it for her.
It should be a fast stitch and I think it is a complete kit.

Day 18-Pilot Class and WIPs Wednesday

My new start is a pilot class for ANG. I can't show you photos or tell you about it. I can tell you I need to finish a project as I am out of tacks and stretcher bars to frame the piece up! Crazy!

Here is my progress on my various pieces. No new photo of Spirit of Jean as I did not work on it this week.
Sorry for the yellow color on this...It was cloudy when I took this photo of my large Drawn Thread Sampler.
 Fishing Vest is coming along although I made a mistake that I feel like I should fix...

Day 16 Finishing for a Friend

A friend handed these to me on Sunday and asked if I could put her grandkids names and birthdays on the back. Her mother made them and I think I can do it.

Day 17- First Christmas Stocking by Cross My Heart Designs

Two of my three children informed me that I need to make myself a stocking this year. I meant to take a photo of our stockings to show you why, but I forgot...Hopefully I can make real progress on this one so I can hang it this year. Ha!
I haven't started stitching, but I did get my fabric ready, found the floss I needed and made notes of what I needed to buy.
Question: should I stitch in hand, on a hoop or on scroll frame? I normally do scroll frame but it will be huge and I won't be able to haul it around.

Day 15-North Pole and Gifted Gorgeousness 2017

This is my "start" for the day and my post for Gifted Gorgeousness. GG 2017 was the brainchild of Jo at Serendipitous Stitching to stitch all those wonderful gifts we have received over the years. My friend Tam gave this to me this year and I did some math-it is 73 x 73 stitches which means if I do 240 stitches a month, I can hang it for Christmas! So lets see if I have some progress by February.
