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.   

Stitch Maynia Day 14 and a Finish!

I stitched the first part (January) of the Stitch of the Month project, found on the ANG (American Needlepoint Guild) website.  Many of our Fox Chapter members started this in January, and are much further along.  A few of the members test stitched this for the designer and are already finished!  I am a bit late to the party, but, enjoyed stitching it none the less.

Watch for more sections as they are completed!

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. 

Linen and Things 2017 Mystery Sampler Part 5 is Finished!

I know I am way behind on this stitch-a-long, but it's getting there!  I finished part 5 this past weekend.  I am stitching this on 25 count vintage mocha linen, over one fabric thread with one strand of Valdani floss. 

Joyfull World Stitch-a-long Fin-ee!

Just a few months late, but it is finished!  That border just about did me in....but it is done.  How will I finish it?  I will probably turn it into a wall hanging and hang it in my office or a classroom at German School.  (after I get my sewing machine serviced)

Joyful World Stitch-a-long September Completed

 Finished the stitching for September this evening.  The owls are cute but I wanted swans!

Below is the entire piece so far.  I am stitching this on 40 count Newcastle linen, over 2 fabric threads with 1 strand of the recommended floss.  It is still going to be bigger than I expected......I can't imagine stitching this one 28 count over 2, it would be huge!

Sampler au bouquet part 1

I am participating in a Stitch-a-long with others that are part of a Facebook group that is called Sampler World.  The piece that we are doing this year is called Sampler au bouquet, and I just completed part 1.  there are 2 more parts, and I just received the chart for part 2 from Michelle, so I can start on that soon.  I am stitching it on 40 flax Newcastle, with one thread over two fabric threads.  Although the sampler is charted for DMC, I am using various over dyed fibres, just because.

This is the first time I have ever stitched on 40 count, and I find that I really like working on it!

Check back in a few months to see part 2.

My Little Heart SAL

Sylvia is hosting a Stitch-a-long on her blog! My Little Hearts is her own design, and she is releasing 1 square per month. I have finished the first 3 months to date. I did adjustments to the colors in the border and the hearts in each square, and I am quite happy with the results. I look forward to stitching these sweet little charts each month.
