5 Ornaments Stitched

I was a Hermit this past weekend and stitched most of these ornaments, and finished all of them.  

International Hermit and Stitch Weekend

I plan to stitch this weekend!

Margie's Round Robin

 Today I stitched Margie's Round Robin piece.  Her project is 12 different owls in a Star Treck theme.  Each one is cuter than the other! 

Robyn'w Round Robin....

I stitched Robyn's Round Robin piece today.  I have stitched this entire piece for myself before, so it was like an old familiar friend.

Suzanne's Round Robin finished

I just finished Suzanne's Round Robin piece and put it in the mail (just a few days late, sorry!).

There are 5 of us in the Diva's Round Robin Group and we have a pass every two months, you think I would get this little thing done in that time, but I kept putting it off, thinking I had time, and before I knew it, I was late! 

Suzanne has chosen these small flower charts by Serendipity Designs.  Not sure what she will do with the finished piece, but the are very pretty!

An New Technique

I finished this three wise men ornament the other day.  Mary McGuire (who works at Welcome Stitchery) taught this technique at our last EGA meeting.  It is called an Or Nué.  You lay gold thread on congress cloth and then do vertical stitches over the gold threads to make your design.  It was a quick finish, and I am hope to do more with this technique.  Mary explained how to use a counted cross stitch design to do this, and I think many of the members went home to look for charts to convert!

The Start of Another Round Robin.....

Here is my piece of a new round robin that I am doing with 3 stitchers from the Needlepoint Guild.  It is an older Imaginatings chart called Four Season, by Diane Arthurs (not Diane Williams of Little House Needleworks as I had previously typed - I got the two Dianes mixed up!).  This little bit took me forever....yes forever to stitch.  Why?  because I had to rip out that little house at least 5 times.......

Don't quite know when I will get the next piece for this round robin.  We were going to have the first pass early October, but Irene had to go out of town to take care of a family member that is ill, so we postponed it until November, but now Marguerite is in the hospital so we may postpone it for a bit again.  It's okay, I am ready for

November Ort Report (aka TUSAL)

Here is my report for this month's Totally Useless Stitch-a-Long.  As you can see, there aren't as many orts as usual.  There are two reasons for this.  I was away from my regular stitching nest for a few weekends and I don't remember where those orts went....and I didn't get in as much stitching time this past month due to a bad cold and playing with the grandchildren.  Hopefully, there will be more orts next month.!

October Prgress, November Goals

Well, October wasn't one of my better months stitching wise.....I ended up with a bad cold right in the middle of the month and wasn't able to stitch for over a week!  Next month will be better!

I did manage to complete Natalie's Birth Sampler, which was the last of the 19 Crazy January starts that still needed to be finished!  And I put in a few hours on Rocky Mountain Christmas!
