WIP Wednesday 3-31-2021

 

First up is Christmas Banner by Nancy Cucci.  This is a project we are doing for our ANG chapter and it is almost finished.  

I also have been working on a stocking.  This one is by Stoney Creek.  the tree itself has a gazillion shades of green.  I hope to have it finished by Christmas....not saying which year though....

Making good progress on Owen's hat.  This is the last one that I am making for the grandchildren, well, for this year anyway....

WIP Wednesday 2-10-2021

 

Logan's hat.  At least it will be when it is finished.

WIP Wednesday 1-27-2021

Here we are again, finally!  I have been plugging away at Fine Wine at little every day.  This is where I am today.  I do feel like the end is in sight!
 

WIP Wednesday 10-7-2020

Fine Wine is coming along nicely.  I was surprised at how much is stitched when I took it off the hoop!

 

WIP Wednesday 8-26-2020

I made good progress on this piece this past week.  A little more than half way done, but going faster than the first have with over 1 skin that had to be frogged!

WIP Wednesday 8-19-2020

Fine Wine, coming along nicely!

WIP Wednesday 7-29-2020

Stitching away on Fine Wine.  I am happy with my progress and will stitch with this piece for awhile before moving on to another.

WIP Wednesday 7-22-2020

Lots of progress on Fine Wine this week. 

WIP Wednesday 7-15-2020

 First up is Fine Wine.  I have done the left arm twice, and the left hand three times!  Since these are being stitched over 1, frogging is a pain!

I also worked on All American Frame Weight by Margaret Bendig. 

WIP Wednesday, 7-8-2020

It's Wednesday again!  So here is what I am working on now.  I have pulled out Fine Wine again and making progress, even though it is slow progress.  Why?  Well, I am stitching the skin (arms and face) and my brilliant plan was to stitch the skin "over one".  (someone shoot me the next time I have a brilliant plan!)

So in place of every charted stitch, I am doing 4 stitches......and it is taking a long time.  But...I am almost done with the skin, so things should move faster after that!

WIP Wedmesday 6-24-2020

This is Day 7 on this sampler that is being done as a Stitch-a-long with the Facebook group:  Needlework Sampler Stitch-a-Long.   

WIP Wednesday 6-3-2020

It's Wednesday again!  Today I started to work on part 5 of the Spring Quilt Block, and finished it!  Only one more part to go....the last border. That one is a waffle stitch, and will take forever.....

WIP Wednesday 4-29-2020

I have been stitching away on Fine Wine by Design Works.  I got quite a bit done, but I am getting tired of black and white and gray!

I have started on the face.  I am doing all the skin (face and arms) 'over 1' so it is now very slow going!

I will continue stitching on this until May 1st, when Maynia starts!

WIP Wednesday 4-22-2020

It's Wednesday again, I think!  It is hard to keep the days straight in this uncertain time.

Today I am stitching on Fine Wine by Design Works.  It came as a kit, but I am using evenweave instead of the aida that was included, and I am using my own DMC.  It may seem like a bit of a waste buying a kit for just the chart, but since I stitch from a working copy, it can sell the kit when I am finished.

This is one of the last two Maynia starts from last year.  It is coming along well, and I hope to have it finished someday!

WIP Wednesday 4-15-2020

Here is my WIP!  I have made good progress on this one this past week.  I hope to have it finished by the weekend!

WIP Wednesday 4-8-2020

I am working on Hope of Spring by Chessie & Me.  Linda Lautenschlager did 4 samplers, one for each season, that work together as a set.  I love 4 seasons pieces.  I have already finished the Fall sampler, and have winter and summer kitted up and ready to go!

I started Hope of Spring during last year's Maynia starts, and it is one of three left to finish.  It is done in silks on 32 count fabric, with lots and lots of specialty stitches.  I forgot how much I enjoy these designs!

WIP Wednesday

Well, I am a day late, forgot to post this yesterday.  This is Pumpkin Harvest by Rocking Horse Designs.  Another kit I have had forever!  (The Rocking Horse was sold and is now closed, that should give you some sense of how long!)

This is another from my list of WIP that will be finished soon!

WIP Wednesday 3-25-2020

Working my way through the pile of WIPs, this one is Sweet Watermelon, from the Rocking Horse.  Should be finished soon.

WIP Wednesday 3-18-2020

It's Wednesday again, and time to show you what I am stitching today.

I had started Country Cottage Needleworks' Snow Sampler last May, but I was not happy with it.  I restarted it last weekend on different fabric, and you can see that the white floss is much more visible.  I am much happier with the way it looks, so I will continue on and take out the stitches on the paler fabric.  I am sure I can find something else to stitch on this fabric someday.
