30 Minutes of Stitching

 I set a timer and worked on Springhill as Karen Kluba said her birthday was last week. 

Here is where I started:

And here is where I finished:

Not a ton of progress, but a little is better than nothing.

Royal Garden is Moving Forward

 Well, my husband went to spend time with my daughter so I had extra stitching time this weekend. 

So I watched a bad movie:

And stitched

All the sprats heads are done!!!

IHSW for July

 I was so lucky this month! Our church hosted a scrapbook event and I went and stitched all day! Well, not all day. I sat and chatted too. And ate. And did a few laps around the gym. But mainly I stitched!

So here is my starting spot for Agnus Dei:

And where I ended:

I took Royal Garden with me:

And I finished the sprats heads in one corner. (Hard to talk and count with them!)

And I ripped a bunch of stitches from my Bristol Squirrel (I made a mistake on some of my x's!)

Pretty orts, don't you think?

And where I ended:

I would like to get this stitched so I can learn how to make a berry with my local Embroidery Guild of America.....

Gifted Gorgeousness for July

 This is a wonderful SAL put on by Jo over at   Serendipitous Stitching  . It has to be a gift for someone, a gift from someone, have the word gift in it....You get the idea!

This is going to be a gift for my mom, if I ever get it done:

Agnus Dei-Modern Folk Embroidery

I am so close to getting that right border done! I do the little circle motifs as a treat...

If I was smart, I would work on Agnus Dei until it is complete, but I never said I was smart...

So I started a new project:

Bristol Squirrel Partial

How could I resist?!? It will be a gift for my mother in law who likes squirrels.

An Abandoned Project

 This isn't really a WIP, but I haven't worked on it in ages. Does that make it a UFO?  Anyway, I pulled it out to stitch on with some girlfriends this past weekend:

I don't think this is quite done but I am not sure what to do. And we decided it looks like a face...I must fix that. When I get back to it.

TUSAL for July 2021

 Today or yesterday was the new moon in July and we are supposed to post a photo of our orts. This is the Totally Useless Stitch a Long :

Yes, I went back to my mason jar. I like keeping them all until the end of the year. I still use my wooden one. I put things in when I am Zoom stitching with friends.

Are the Eyelets Done?

 I think I did all the eyelets on this piece! Yipee! 

I wonder if I am half-way through this project? I am not trying to rush it. I enjoy it so much.
