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 [...]
I’m busy at work and on the computer all day. I haven’t felt like using the computer when I get home. I have a couple of pictures of the things that I’ve been working on though.
Emie Bishop Hardanger heart, our guild is working on a few for our Christmas Fund Raiser
Update pictures of Watergarden
The majority of this meeting was taken up by our programme. Elena is teaching us to stitch a padded tulip. The example she was working on wasn’t all finished yet, but far enough along to get the rest of us going.

I have a three wedding gifts to stitch this year. July, August & September. Two cousins and a co-worker. I am going to stitch the same pattern for all three because I like the design, it works up quickly and I want to improve in hardanger. I should be fairly proficient by September! I really [...]

Air
After finishing Christmas presents I decided to stitch something small and quick. I have had this [...]
Progress on ‘Air’
Here is the progress on ‘Watergarden’.
I started my counted canvas project, Air by Toni L. Figgins. The design works up quickly. There are Smyrna Cross stitches, staggered oblong cross stitches, oblong cross stitches, and diagonal hungarian stitches so far.
The whole design is made up of four points. This is one of them nearly completed. I am still waiting for one of [...]
I’m stitching three of Margaret Sherry’s Animal Alphabet that has been published by the Cross Stitcher. A friend became a grandmother for the first time and the baby has a short name (Eva), so I offered to stitch the name so she can give it to her for Christmas.
As an aside, the same friend started [...]
The 2008-09 year starts up for the Town Clock Stitchers this month, including our two monthly stitch-ins. There was a stitch in Friday that I couldn’t go to because of work, and then there is another stitch-in on Saturday, September 20th. I’m looking forward to that so I can catch up with what people have been doing. [...]
