I have been stitching on band 7 (July) of the 2017 Linens and Threads Mystery Sampler this week. 

Blue Tree is Finished

I started this blue tree at the retreat last weekend, but got hung up on the top portion.  I finally sat down and finished it today, and I am happy with how it turned out.  I will be teaching this piece at our EGA chapter next year.

Today I am stitching another panel from the SamSarah Designs perpetual calendar.  I am stitching the Veteran's Day panel.  after this one is finished I will only have 3 more to stitch!

Retreat Stitching

 This is the front of Louie the Lucky Reindeer ornament that was in our goodie box at the retreat this past weekend.  I did stitch on it a bit on Saturday, but finished it up today.

This is the back!

Stitching Retreat

This weekend I am at Illinois Beach Resort and Conference Center in Zion Illinois.  These two pictures are the view from my room. 

The rooms, the stitching room and the food are fabulous! 

Two Small Finishes

I have been packing and moving the last few weeks, so there hasn't been much time for stitching, but I did stitch at least a little bit before going to sleep each evening.  The easy plaid pattern on canvas and repetitiveness of pulling the needle and floss through the canvas was very calming.

I am happy to say I am now moved in with my 92 (soon to be 93) year old father, but....I still have a lot of work ahead of me.  I need to get the kitchen (and maybe the bathroom) remodeled, purchase new appliances, get the carpets shampooed or replaced and then I can start unpacking!  I am happy to say that I have made good progress on organizing my stitching room so that I can at least sit and stitch for a bit and find some things!  Don't hold your breath for pictures, it will be awhile before it is finished.

I started band 7 of the Linens and Threads 2017 Mystery Sampler today.  I didn't get very far, but it is a start. 

WIP Wednesday 10-10-2019

And it's Wednesday again!  I am currently stitching this plaid mitten ornament. 

And we have a quick finish....

I still have to glue it onto the tin, but you get the idea.  This is Fox Adventures in Embellishment by Handblessings Designs.  It is an exclusive design for our ANG Chapter.  I did make a change, instead of the scotch stitch all border all around the outside, I just did a tent stitch so that it would fit on this needle tin. 

WIP Wednesday 10-3-2018

Well, it's Wednesday again!  Today I am stitching on this cute little canvas design by Handblessings Designs.  It will be a top for a tin for needles, etc.    I need to make some adjustments on the outside border to it will fit on the tin I want to use.

Part 6 is Finished!

This is the 2017 Mystery Sampler from Linens and Threads.  I am stitching it on 25 count fabric over one, with one strand of Valdani floss.  (the Autumn Quaker floss pack)

I stitched both version of part 6 because I liked them both and had enough fabric. 

September Progress, October Goals

Lots of stitching time last month, but sadly, October and the next few months should be a lot busier, so not as much time for stitching.
