Z is for Zipper

This is the Stitch & Zip I am currently working on.  It is an eyeglass case.  I love these kits as they are easy to do and don't need much finishing.  If you can stitch in the car, this is a great travel project.  Not much thinking involved either so it is a great,"Tired, but want to stitch" project.
I finished the challenge.  Yipee!  I think I will go order a shirt....

Y is for Yellow



I did this seam on my crazy quilt using yellow thread and the fly stitch so I could use it today.  Each fly stitch looks like a Y.  Tomorrow is the last day of the challenge.  I do believe I am going to make it!

X is for lots of X's

 I really did not know what to do today, so I thought these cross stitches in the background of my Elizabeth would count.  Here is a photo of the whole piece. 
Plenty left to do and a few decisions to make, but I love how she is looking!

U is for Up and Down Buttonhole Stitch Feathered

Yes, that is truly the name of this stitch! You can find it here:  Sharon B's .  She has a ton of great stitches and her directions are wonderful!  I thought about UFO-unfinished objects, but I had too many to choose from...  That is a sad state of affairs.

T is for Turkey and Twisted

 The bee did not stand out in my piece so some friends suggested that I do stumpwork on the bee.  All those threads are the start of turkey work. I think I am half way through.
That little bit of green on the seam is twisted chain stitch.  It may not work and may have to be removed..
What am I going to do for U?
