Earlier this week, I blogged about my Pulled Thread Study and I have been thinking on how to complete this project. I’m leaning toward making a book to hold the postcards. I would put buttonhole eyelets on each of the postcards and ATCs. The cover would be made wide enough to hold all the [...]

for a return from my finisher…
My finisher called me yesterday and said Thomas Jefferson was finished, so I did not write my blog but went to pick him up. TJ looks so good and I may have to order another from Anne at ABS Designs (http://www.absdesignsonline.com/) or her blog The Cape Stitcher (http://thecapestitcher.blogspot.com/) to stitch [...]

This is the only kind of bug I want to see for a long time, especially on my computer! This was one of the carry around pieces I did recently. It is a Lee canvas…I am so sorry to hear that Lee is going to be closing. I really wish someone would purchase all her [...]

These are the Easter eggs I’ve stitched.
My design and I also finished can you tell? I did this about 3 years ago and did not keep track of threads, although I think they are Rainbow Gallery (http://rainbowgallery.com/index.html): Purple Cresta d’Ore C27 and Overture Tequila Sunrise and red perle cotton.
These are two others I did [...]

I finished the second coat yesterday…Now I have two for next year. I know why I only had one of these finished…finishing was a bugger! Those little flaps in the front were not fun. Hopefully making Tartan plaid stands won’t be that big a deal and I will have them finished by next year. See the [...]

It has been quite a 2 weeks and 3 days…
I have finished 77 pages of needlework directions and I can breath a bit easier. I will have revisions but the bulk of the work is completed. I would love to tell you about these directions, but they are not mine and I do not think [...]

Yesterday I finished two snowmen. Finishing is not my favorite part of needlepoint and I think that is why I usually leave this to my finisher. I don’t do a bad job finishing, but since I do not do it every day it is slow and cumbersome to me. Occasionally I finish something other than [...]

Day before yesterday, while in the workroom I noticed this snowman that needs to be finished. There are really two but this one spoke to me. The other needs a large (2 inch) white (silver would work) sleigh bell that I have not been able to locate this holiday season. Someone must have had a serious [...]
