Progress on Marion Lang

 I stitch on this piece on Sunday's when I visit my mother-in-law:

It is a fun stitch and I am relatively close to a finish. I'm using Victorian Motto Sampler Threads. I do have quite a stash.

Moving Right Along

 I have been enjoying spending time on this piece. I must admit, the crescents bother me, but I can't put my finger on why!

Where I started Sunday night:

Where I ended:

I must be in a purple phase....

Another Finish for August!

 I was able to get Agnus Dei finished! Yipee!

I am debating on whether to hem stitch the edge or frame the piece. The easiest would be to frame it. Actually, I won't frame it. I will send it to my mom and let HER frame it. 

What do you think?

Thinking About a Start

 My online ANG group sponsored a workshop called Canvas Candy Bowl.

Isn't it lovely? Here is more info about it.

Anyway, I wanted to stitch it because it is something you make into a shape! How interesting! But the colors did not call to me. I have discovered that I truly dislike kitting stuff from my stash even if I don't like the colors. So I ordered the kit. Then I riffled through my stash and changed the colors!

Here are the original colors:

 And here are my choices:

 

I changed the photos to black and white to see if they will work:

I think it will. I have a little time this afternoon, so I think I will start my piece. Oh! And did I tell you that I don't get along well with bargello, which is the main part of this design? I must be nuts!

IHSW for August 2021

 Well, it was the International Hermit and Stitch Weekend and I forgot to take before photos...

What is IHSW? Do you run away and stitch? No, it is just a weekend where you purposefully take time to stitch. It could be an extra hour, an extra 15 minutes, whatever. You are supposed to post before and after photos, but whatever!  It is the brainchild of the lovely Jo .

Here are my photos:

Agnus Dei is moving along:

 

I pulled Springhill out again. I figure if I get one or two threads on it a night, I will see progress.

And I started on my Lizard needlepoint canvas.

I need to figure out a background stitch so it may go back to the corner....

What did you work on this weekend?

Royal Garden is Finished!

I am so happy to have a finish!

 Now I have to go get it framed. Unless I can sweet talk my husband into framing it from me.

Royal Garden is So Close to A Finish

 I have been plugging away on this in the evening.

The colors look washed out, but are gorgeous in person.
