September-October 2022

Winter Wonderland was my start for the September Designer Focus. Designer is Glendon Place. I only managed a portion of the border and a start on the antlers. I have a bit more of the border on the right than this picture. Will continue working on this to see how far I can get.

I also worked on Monica, Mabel Tuke, Cinnamon Stars, and Lady Justice. I had a start and finish on Hands on Design Hello September. 

October's start and finish was Cricket Collection's Why Is It? Cricket Collection was GaRon Designer Focus for October. 

Why Is It?

Cricket Collection

This year I was able to attend Friendstitch. This Zoom retreat held by Heart in Hand and Bent Creek was a blast. I was in the morning session. The projects, videos and swag made it a great experience. I look forward to attending next year. 

Christmas Bird - pre-stitched project

 Two ornaments from the Friendstitch Retreat.

I stitched and finished some Halloween pieces most are in the previous post. I also finished the last part of Casting A Spell, Blackbird Designs. It's now ready to be fully finished for next year. My box is painted and ready to go.

Thanks for stopping by,

Update: April 2018

I finally manged to collect all of the Word Play charts. These charts by Brenda Gervais have been out for awhile now.  I'm a little late to the game.  After seeing some finished pieces I caved and started collecting the set. This is my progress on the May Word Play.  I wouldn't have it done by the First, a mere 2 days away, but hopefully by the end of the Month.

My Winter Wonderland trees has some more leaves. Hoping for some fully grown trees by next update.

I put the final stitches on "The Needlework Shop". My second Hometown Holiday Series finish. The stitch count is 78w x 45h so I'm counting this as my Smalls Finish for April. I have about 5 stitches in on "The Diner",  the next on my list.

My SALs are suffering this month as last month. Hope I'll have some more energy and get back on track soon. I did get some ornaments Finally Finished but I forgot to take pictures. I want to get this post up so I'll share pictures next time.

Thanks for stopping by,ap
