And We Have a Finish!

This is A Season and A Time, which is a Needle Treasures kit, but I used my own fabric and floss.  I stitched it on 32 lugana, hand dyed by Stephanie, and the color is Milk Chocolate.  Don't know how I will "finish" it yet, maybe I will frame it and hang it at work?

WIP 11-11-2015

Not too much progress that one can see....but all the backstitching is now done, and some of the words.  I need to rechart the text above the leaves, but I hope to have this one finished this coming weekend or early next week.

Steady but slow progress on my current piece. 

More Retreat Finishes

Eileen Gurak, the designer behind Handblessings Designs, was one of the retreat organizers.  She gifted each attendee with the cart and supplies to stitch this new design.  I started stitching it right away, before I listened to the instructions.  I orientated the first stamp incorrectly, but luckily I still had room enough to stitch the other three.  I will finish that as ornaments someday.

I should mention that Eileen is doing a series of stamps, a set for each holiday, so look for them at your local shops

My First Retreat Finish

Before I got to the retreat, I stopped at Black Cat Stitchery, which is near the conference center.  They were holding this wonderful little bag for me.  I collected that as well as a few other charts.  Once I got settled at the retreat I couldn't help be start stitching!  I finished it later that afternoon.  It is called Grateful Heart by Shepherds Bush. 

October Progress, November Goals

Every month I think I am going to get a lot of stitching done, and then life gets in the way.  October was no exception.  I got a few small things finished and made good progress on a medium sized project, but didn't get a lot of stitching time in.  November promises to be no different.
