Six Stitchy Things

SIX STITCHY THINGS YOU DIDN'T KNOW ABOUT ME:

1. My favourite fabric of all is Banjo Cloth. It's just a simple rustic aida but it is perfect for country / primitive designs.

If you have any to sell or trade... email me!

2. I have 40+ Crossed Wing Collection charts.  Including the Christmas Cardinals Design that is now OOP.  I've never stitched any of them. :(

3. I stitch in-hand.  I've tried Q-Snaps, frames, hoops, etc.  I just can't do it.

4. I am a reformed Linen Snob. Evenweave is my soul-mate. 

5. At last count, I've finished 169 cross-stitch pieces.  It's possible I have the same number of WIPs. 

6. I AM a silk snob. Vikki Clayton's Hand-Dyed Fibers were, and forever will be, my favourite silks.  I have dozens of skeins and spools.  I use them sparingly as there are no more to be made.

7. BONUS:  My favourite cross-stitch photos:

What stitchy things do you have to share? I'd love to know!

Happy Stitching Ya'll!

October Calendar Girl: Update

I've been working on LHN's October Calendar Girl for a few hours. 

I like the few changes I made.  I shortened her hair because mine is short.  Trying to figure out a way to give her some strands of silver and a few curls.

I made her dress blue as I'm not a grey dress kinda gal.

I've gotten a bit of push-back on my colour changes and choices.  But I'm stitching this for me and I like it.

I don't mind constructive criticism -- but not outright complaints. 

I am beginning to think I MAY have this project completed by September 1st.  I hope so as I can't wait to begin Pumpkins 4-Sale!

HAPPY STITCHING!

HAPPY DANCING -- October Cottage is done!

I took the last stitch in October Cottage about 20 minutes ago!

Now, to add October Girl next to it!

I so loved stitching this piece.  I had not stitched in so long, I thought perhaps I would never complete another project.

I am on a stitcher's high right now!

Don't forget to leave me a comment and tell me if you think I should offer a Birthday Giveaway!

Have a lovely evening and a great week.

Stay safe, Happy Stitching!

Found Stash!

I found three charts that I'd forgotten about and two small pieces of linen!

GO ME!

I can't wait to start them!

Ya'll have a safe, peaceful evening.
