It’ll be a Margaret Sherry Christmas

I prefer to make Christmas presents for my family.  I’ve stitched two Leavitt-Imblum free angels, one Nora Corbet free cherub, a Martina Webber freebie and a Passione Ricamo freebie.  I went through the magazines that I have and found a bunch of Margaret Sherry designs that will make really cute ornaments.  So far I’ve gotten [...]

HWS HD!!

This year I had two cousins get married.  I thought since Heirloom Wedding Sampler was so pretty I would stitch one for each of them.  What a bad idea.  I lost interest in the second one and even the deadline of the wedding couldn’t get me going on it.  My cousin’s wedding was in July [...]

Always stitching

I haven’t posted much over the summer…about once a month.  I’ve certainly been stitching though.  I’ve finished 3 Christmas presents and started a fourth.   I did a little blackwork design of a lobster.  I printed a picture of a lobster and used graph paper to get the basic outlines going.  I have PCStitch so I [...]

Been stitching :)

I’ve been busy stitching since I finished Mystique.  While I was in Kingston, ON for EAC Seminar I bought a kit for Bargello Jewells (pattern, materials and canvas) from Northern Pine Designs – Linda Lachance.  I love the colours.  It was the first time I did a beaded bezel and I don’t think it’s perfect [...]

Mystique

I finished the Carolyn Mitchell design, “Mystique”.  Here are some pictures from start to finish.  I love it!!
 
 

 

 
 
 
 
 
 
 

What’s in a name…

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 [...]

Caught up on taking pictures

Took the time to take pictures of what I have finished and/or been working on…
Finished:
Grapes and Quilts

I have had this finished for quite some time, but finally got around to framing it and gave it to my Grandmother for Christmas.
Air

After finishing Christmas presents I decided to stitch something small and quick.  I have had this [...]

Latest Finishes

I’ve taken pictures of the ornaments I made for my mother and grandmother.  I made the name ‘EVA’ from the Margaret Sherry alphabet.

Christmas Stitching

The Oct/Nov programme for my guild was to stitch and finish a counted canvas ornament.  I didn’t finish mine in time for our Nov meeting, but paid attention to how it was done and was able to finish mine at home the following week.
Jean provided us with the outline and we used her suggestions for [...]

Fairy Grandmother FINISHED

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 [...]
