WIP Wednesday 9-30-15

  Sorry to have been MIA for awhile, dear blogging buddies, but life has been busy. 

Since finishing the table runner, I haven't had much time to stitch, and the time that I did have was taken up with mostly 'unstiching'.  I have been working on this ornament for a week and a half.  It should have been done by now, but alas, it is not.  I now only have the back of it to finish, so I hope to have it done by the weekend......

Finished Christmas Table Runner

The runner is finished!  There are lots of gold threads in it, and it looks much more sparkly in person, but it is done almost 2 weeks ahead of the deadline!

Rather than show you how much is left to stitch on my current WIP, I will just show you how much is left to do!

I just need to finish the backstitching on one square and then do the stitching and backstitching on the last square!  I hope to have it finished by the end of the weekend.

WIP Wednesday, 9-2-2015

Silly me, I thought I could stitch one square per day......that didn't happen, but I did get 3 1/2 more squares done.  This stitching over 3 threads seems so unnatural to me.....but I must persevere and get it done! 

August Progress, September Goals

So much to stitch and so little time!!!  Traveling, work, family obligations and getting ready for the start of the new school year has left me with little time for stitching in August, and September promises to be much of the same.  I did manage to finish the Heart of America Sampler, and I stitched all four of the seasonal scissor fobs by Lizzie*Kate, and made good progress and a Christmas Table Runner, but had a disastrous stitching weekend on the Autumn Leaves project.  The Christmas Table Runner will have to be my focus piece as I need to have it done by the latter part of September.  It will be a donation for a raffle.
