Good morning everyone,
Wow! The time has really flown and I can't believe it has been 2 months since my last post. I hope everyone is having tons of fun this summer and getting some stitchy time in.
I have been very busy and have finished several things since we have last visited each other. The first thing I want to show you is my Seasons in Chalk, Stars in Stripes by Hands on Designs that was in the July 2016 JCS issue. I am doing each one and will make them all into pillows.
I am currently working on Seasons in Chalk Christmas out of the Dec 2016 JCS issue. Here is an update after working on it for 4 days. It is so much fun. I dyed some Charles Craft 14 ct Opal Aida in black and I am really happy with the results.
I also did the mini bunnies from the May/June 2018 JCS issue. Here is May:
Here is June:
I ffo'd the skull and I just love how it turned out.
I was working on Ink Circles pattern called Cirque de Triangles but I just couldn't get into it. I am sure we have all been there before. So I cut off what I stitched and went looking for a pattern that I could still use the floss and fabric for. I found this Mandala by Heritage Stitch on Etsy. It reminds me of the Spiralgraph toy I had as a kid.
I also started on this baby sampler for my great-niece Eden. I have finished all the leaves and just need to finish the trunk and the tree will be done. There will be some woodland animals at the bottom. I found this on Etsy and the store name is NikkiPattern.
Last but not least is the free pattern on Lakeside Needlecrafts website. I am really enjoying this one.
It is done on some 28ct Monaco evenweave I hand-dyed last year.
Thanks so much for looking and catching up with me. Have a great weekend.
Mary
