Hello everybody. Since my last post I have been quite busy stitching and also I've been finishing up some pieces to display. Yes how I love finishing lol! So it's another picture heavy post but my finishing pile has got down a little bit!
I have had a couple of finishes which, of course, means new starts but I'll begin with the finishes!
First finish that is also fully finished off is this one. It took a while a stitch as I was only stitching on it for a couple of hours a week at the craft group I go to.
Little House Needleworks My Lady at Christmas
32 count Chromatic Alchemy Cassia Rose murano
Classic Colorworks & DMC
Started 28th March 2017
Finished 3rd July 2017.
My second finish is this one.
Lizzie*Kate I Cannot Count My Day Complete
32 count Lambswool linen
DMC
Started 22nd June 2017
Finished 13th July 2017.
On to my making up now. These were stitched mostly this year, with one last year and and one in 2015!
I'm really pleased with how these all turned out but I really wish I could get the bottom edge straight when I sew the hole up.
As I said I've had a few new starts. I had finished the piece I was stitching on for the sheep SAL Barb and I are doing so I chose to start Plum Street Samplers Merry Ewe which is one of the Jack's Sweet Shoppe series. Does anyone know where I can get the tart pans in the UK please? I've looked in cookery shops etc etc and looked online but can't find any that are the right size. It needs to be 4.75".
I also have another sheepy start as I couldn't resist starting this one from my stash. It is another Plum Street Samplers and it is 1831 Christmas.
Hmm I have done my usual and forgotten to take one of my new starts! I started The Primitive Hare Prim Christmas from last year's JCS ornament issue to take to craft group with me. I'll try and remember to take a photo next time.
My final new start is Stitchrovia's charity SAL Quotes to Live By. Oh this is going to take some stitching but it will be so worth it.
I'm still stitching away on Silver Creek Samplers Through the Storms and it looking really good even though I say so myself!!
Final piece is driving me mad! I really wish I could get this finished but I'm at the stage where I really don't want to stitch on it anymore. However I will get it finished as it's such a beautiful piece.
That's all my stitching news for now. I'll see you all next month with more making up hopefully! My sewing machine will be coming out again :)
Take care everyone.
Until next time.
With much love Sally xxx
