Long Weekend Friday Frolics!

Hello!  We have just had a wonderful warm, sunny 3 day weekend and I managed to get some stitching in which is an added bonus!

I was supposed to take a photo on Friday night before I started stitching, and another one after my Friday night effort, so that I could do this post... but I forgot.... so today's belated post is just to show off where my SAL piece is at after the last week or so of stitching...

"Faces of Joan Elliott Mystery SAL" (Facebook SAL Group)
Designer: Joan Elliott

Friday night's effort (from memory) was all about the flower that the Fairy is holding.

I have been thinking that I might try and keep this piece out and work on it again next Friday night and then it might eventually get finished!!

See you next week! Til then happy stitching
Hugs, Noni xx  

Carmie's Update...

Hi everyone, 

Carmie has  again asked me to post a progress pic on her behalf as she is still in the process of entering the exciting new world of owning a tablet and hopes to be able to post pics herself soon.

This is the latest news on her tablet purchasing:

"Sun [day] I went to teach my grand daughter Jazmin how to make apple pies. She's the one helping me with the tablet. She has it narrowed down for me I should be picking one up next week-end if nothing comes up."

That is great news, Carmie.  Here is her previous progress pic...

"Angel of Grace is a 1991 chart by Marilyn Leavitt-Imblum for Lavender & Lace. I have several of her charts. Have 2 I'm working on."

Here is a pic of what she will look like finished:

... and here is Carmie's update:

Wonderful progress, Carmie and thanks to Jazmin for helping you with the photos.

hugs, Kaye

Again not on Friday ... EDITED

Hello friends,

Friday seems to be a bad day for stitching lately. Instead I had my Friday stiching on Saturday. I pulled out one of my oldest WIPs, literally a UFO, as the last time I worked on it was in April 2006. Sigh ... I finished stitching the second block back then and since then it was in my UFO drawer - until last Saturday.

I started block #3.

Edit: Houses of Hawk Run Hollow by Carriage House Samplings

I am motivated again and will continue next Friday/Saturday/weekend :)

Joining in the fun!

Hi everyone :)

My name is Lisa and I'm just getting back into stitching after a long break. I'm so glad I've been able to join this group as one of the things I loved about stitching was the community and I'm looking to find that community again!

So Friday Frolics for me was a bit weird this week as there was a bit of drama going on in my house that night (which is so unusual) so I quit early.

The WIP I have been working on is Persephone by Mirabilia. I'm not sure how long I will stick to one WIP as I used to work on several at a time but now, after such a long break, I am loving working on just one thing and enjoying the process.

Before (and not ironed)

After (and ironed!)

Persephone is stitched using the called for DMC and Caron Waterlily silk threads. I've chosen to stitch her on Picture this Plus 32 count linen in the Rosewood colour. I left the qsnap on for months and I can see where the fabric has faded I'm hoping once the design has been finished it will not be as noticeable.

Happy stitching, Lisa

Historical Frolicking

Hi everyone

What a fun SAL! I haven't posted here for a couple of weeks, because I started frolicking Friday before last and didn't stop until tonight!

I pulled this lovely kit from my WIP pile and here's where I'm up to after a week or do stitching it.

History Timeline by Bothy Threads

I hadn't stitched on this one for at least a year. This is the top row complete. Five historical period stitched, fifteen to go!

Hope you've all had fun frolicking recently.

Last Friday Frolic is a FINISH!

Well, I kept stitching at odd minutes over the weekend (we had family to stay, so it was pretty busy) and I managed to finish my Chimney Disaster!


This is where he was on Saturday morning:

... and now... ta da!  Santa is all stuck down that chimney!

Such a fun design!

Please check out the other posts to see what my fellow frolickers have been up to,

My tree is stitched

I have done my little tree. For me it is small. About 2" square. I love it though.
Now I just need to make it into something. Maybe a needle case.. I have a pattern in mind...
