Cross Stitching and other needlework
It’s been a while since my last post…life interrupts. Getting over a sinus headache, busy at work, muscle spasm in my neck and a mother in the hospital for a week. Well I’m all better, it’s the weekend and my mom got home a couple of days ago and is feeling better.
I had a good [...]
At the meeting we talked about what we’ll be doing for a fund raiser this year. We have decided to do the same amount of stitching but some of it will be different. We’ll be doing Snow Baby ornies and something in hardanger instead of two sets of the same designs. I volunteered to do a [...]
In our guild (and I think this is common to most guilds) we are supposed to have a stitched name tag. I’ve been with my guild for three years now and haven’t gotten around to stitching one. I am tagless no longer, I finally stitched my name and am in the process of finishing the [...]
First meeting since November. Seems like forever. We talked about guild stuff and then started working on the programme for the evening. A small coaster size richelieu doily. The technique isn’t so bad, so far….just single and double running stitches to outline the center portion and then make the detached parts (not sure of the [...]
I’ve decided that Christmas 2009 will be one of stitchy gifts. I am going to do smaller ones. I like stitching Marilyn Leavitt-Imblum’s free angels…they work up quickly and the result is wonderful. I’ve already stitched a couple for presents before.
I am working on the Challenge that my guild is doing. We did one last [...]

The September and October Town Clock Stitchers meetings were good. September was an [...]
Fairy Grandmother 19 Oct 2008
I started working on Lavendar & Lace “Fairy Grandmother” in early July and finished on 19 Oct 08. My mother’s birthday is in November so I finished a good month ahead of time. Now I have to get it framed. Now I can work on something just for me. I have [...]
Our guild recognizes that the internet is playing a larger role in our stitching lives and as such has been planning a website. We are still in the process of adding the content, but it’s a great start for us.
We’ll be featuring a free pattern every month, and this month’s pattern is a counted canvas [...]
The guild I belong to, Town Clock Stitchers of Halifax, put on an exhibit at the Scott Manor House in Bedford this past week. Since I work during the week I volunteered my time on Saturday and Sunday afternoon. I was very impressed by the exhibit this year, so many of the pieces that members [...]
For the past two summers TCS has done an exhibit at Scott Manor House (15 Fort Sackville Rd. ) in Bedford, Nova Scotia. The exhibit runs from Monday July 28th to Sunday August 3rd 10:00 am – 4:00 pm. There is a tea room that serves tea, lemonade, oat cakes, & ice cream wih berries. Very refreshing [...]
