What to Work on Next

In previous posts, I mentioned starting something new and finishing some fair squares.

I had received some gorgeous squares for the Fair Square Round #23 from Kim V. They have swavorski crystals on them and are beautifully stitched. I finally finished them up.





This next piece, I had started some time ago but I did not like the thread I had chose. I had to rip it out and started again with a different thread. So its a new start to me.


This is With My Needle's "Mrs. Waddelows Huswif" stitched with Belle Soie Creme de Menthe on 32ct. French Vanilla linen. I am so happy with it. Now I have to go find 6 different fabrics so I can finish it.

Last Friday, I received the 2nd part of Mamen's Hardanger-a-long. Yesterday I finished it.



There is a total of 6 parts to this and they come out every 2 weeks. If you love hardanger, go to Mamen's blog. She does gorgeous work.


Now, to the title of this post. I always have to kind of "re-group" when I finish something before I go on to the next. This time it is taking particularly longer. I am just not sure what I want to work on. I'm sure the problem is that I have way too many things to choose from.


I am starting to see some of the finished "Soar" Samplers. I am now kicking myself for not buying this pattern, she only sold 100. I would be interested in borrowing, trading or buying one if there is anyone out there that would be interested.


Thanks for stopping by and Happy Stitching :)

Fair Squares for April

April K. has received the squares I sent her for Round 14 for the Fair Square exchange.

From studying her blog, I could tell that she was a big fan of Halloween, so I decided to stitch a Halloween design. It is Prairie Schooler's "Night Owl" from the 2008 Just Cross Stitch Halloween issue. It is stitched on 32ct Lambswool with DMC as charted.


This was a fun stitch and I hope April likes them!
