WIP Wednesday 2-24-2016

Only one of the WIPs that I stitched on this week, but it happens to be the one I stitched on Wednesday, so here it is.  Unfortunately there isn't as much progress as I would have liked as there were some errors on the chart and I ended up unstitching quite a bit.

WIP Wednesday 2-17-2016

This week I am working on some models for Sue Hillis.  Look for a chart with spools when the new releases from the Nashville Market become available.  That's all I know.....

Some More Squares Finished

 These two squares are not part of the Crazy January Challenge, they are new for February.  I plan on doing one or two squares on the Birds & Flowers Patches Quilt by Handblessings Designs every month, so these two are February's squares.  If I keep to this schedule, this entire piece will be done in July

Pines in the Snow finish

The stitching on another Crazy January project is complete!   Slowly, they will all be finished eventually.  I will ornamentify this one at a later date.

Getting Ready for Easter

  I finished the stitching on Easter Surprise, another one in the Bent Creek Photobooth series.  I think I have about 5 of them done now, with a few more to go.  I really need to decide how to 'finish' them! 

Another Animal Finished

I finished the stitching on Northwoods Moose!  This one is also off to the finisher to be made into a pillow, this one however is for my moose-loving daughter-in-law.

Bear Finish

I finished the stitching on Northwoods Bear.  It is now off to the finisher to be made into a pillow for my favorite son-in-law. 

WIP Wednesday 2-10-2016

Here is what I am working on today, the superheroes alphabet for my little Justin.   the fabric is a soft green, didn't photograph too well.

Spring Table Topper Finish

Good morning blogging buddies!  Today I share with you another finish (if blogger cooperates, this is the 4th time I am trying to post this!).

This is the Spring Table Topper that I finished recently.  It came from the stash of a stitcher who passed away.  Now that it is finished, I will have to decide which charity to donate it to.

I really enjoy stitching these toppers, because once the stitching is finished, it is truly finished!  No framing or other finishing needed!  And the 11 count is certainly easy on tired eyes.

Another Dream Big Finish

I finished Dream Big by Country Cottage Needleworks a second time.  This on is done on 25 ct Lugana over 1 fabric thread, and someday it will be finished as an ornament and will live at my house...

Liberty Belles Finished

And another Crazy January start is completed!  This one will be finished as a small pillow someday

Another Crazy January Finish

Happy Hearts is a free chart from Little House Needleworks, don't know where or when I got it.  I will eventually finish this as a valentine's ornament.

The House that Love Built

My second Crazy January finish, is for the Ronald McDonald House in St. Louis.  This is the House that Love Built by Ursula Michaels.  I will be sending this off to my wonderful son-in-law who will frame it for me.  The plan is that we will all go to the Ronald McDonald House on Easter Sunday and cook dinner for the residents.  It will be Justin's 1st birthday that day, and Justin and I (or his mommy if I can't be there) will present it to the staff at the house.

First Crazy January Finish

Started January 1st, finished January 8th, this is Dream Big by Country Cottage Needleworks, stitched on 32 count ivory lugana, with the recommended fibres.  It was originally intended to be an ornament, but I think it is a little big, so it will eventually become a flat fold.

WIP Wednesday - 2-3-2016

yes, this is a new start.....this is a moose square from the Northwoods afghan chart.  This will eventually be a pillow for my daughter-in-law who loves moose.

First Finish of 2016

With all the Crazy January starts, it is now time to show you some finishes.  This is Saltbox Village, by Little House Needleworks, the last of the 12 ornaments from 2012 ornaments that I wanted to finish in 2015, but this one didn't get done until the first day of 2016.  It will be ornamentifed at a later day.

January Progress, February Goals

Well, Crazy January is over!  I had 28 new starts, and finished 15 of those new starts plus the one that I finished from last year.....not bad if I do say so myself.  Now I have to figure out what kind of rotation to do to get the rest of the new starts finished!
