Finish 14: Snowflake Tree

Weekly Update: Finishes and Progress

Two Finishes 

This weekend I started a quick and easy pattern, Bitty Baskets - ABC Sampler.  It makes into a ribbon border and a pin keep top for a basket.  I finished the pin keep top on Sunday, March 21.

Number 11a

Bitty Baskets - ABC Sampler Pinkeep, designed by Rebecca Dorrie of Samplers and Such, stitched on 36-count linen, using Weeks Dye Works Independence.

The ribbon border was finished on Thursday.  It has a blanket stitch around the edge.  This is my first time doing a blanket stitch.  Some of it is coming out better than other parts.

Number 11b

This was the first time that I have used the over-dyed floss the way you are supposed to- with 2 separate strands instead of looping one strand.  You can see the nice variagation of coloring.  Hmmmm, guess when you use is correctly it looks really nice (blush).

On Wednesday evening (March 24) I finished up my regular UFO Tuesday piece.

Number 12

Thanks Be To God, by Sisters and Best Friends

stitched on 28-count Busy Bee Lugana,

using Sampler Threads Forest Glade, Corn Husk, Hyacinth,

Mulberry, Grape Arbor, Burnt Orange, and Shutter Green.

And A Start

 

I started another quick pattern, Welcome Miniblock by Hinzeit.  This was one of my Mom's patterns that I have had for a while.

Weekend Update

With the kids not feeling good this week, I didn't get much stitching time in.

Today (Saturday) I got another finish (number 10).  

This House Believes in Santa, the Annual Christmas Sampler 

by Homespun Elegance,

stitched on 26 count linen, using DMC floss.  I added

the star button on the top right since I ran out of green.

UFO Tuesday, I made progress on Thanks Be To God.  I finished the alphabet and the pumpkin leaves on the top.  This one is pretty close to being done.

A new start, one of my 2010 goals, Families by LizzieKate.  This is stitched on a pretty purple splotched fabric.  

I have started a new blog called Zippity Stitch.  I am posting free patterns that I have designed.  I have hidden aspirations of becoming a designer some day.  I hope you will stop by and check it out.

Here is my TUSAL update for March. 

Thanks for stopping by!

Number Nine Done

Here is my end of the week update.  After finishing the Cabin in the Snow on Thursday, I decided to work on something quick and easy, Work, Pray, Trust Snippet by Lizzie Kate.  Unfortunately, I wasn't able to stitch on it at my DDs' gymnastics class because I forgot a needle!  But I did finish it up tonight while watching a movie with my youngest DD.

Work Pray Trust, a Snippet pattern by LizzieKate,

stitched on 28 count blue linen, 

using STs Cherry Wine, Midnight, Pine, 

WDW Sweetheart Rose, and Wildflowers by Caron in Mulberry.

The colors look so much better in person, the work is a dark blue, and trust is a rich purple (of course!)  Too bad I couldn't get a decent picture taken!

Weekend Update: Finish Number 7

This has been a pretty busy week.  The kids and I have been playing tourist with my in-laws most of the week, so I did not get a lot of stitching done.  I did not work on my UFO Tuesday pattern- it was too big to take in the car while we drove around the island.  But I did get another small piece finished this week.

March, from the Flip-It: a year with charm series by LizzieKate,

stitched on 28-count linen, 

using WDW Autumn Leaves, Father's Day, Gold, Onyx, 

Purple Haze, Scuppermonger, GA Mulberry, and DMC 561
