Smalls SAL_October Update

Time for my October Smalls SAL update...


The Smalls SAL is hosted by the wonderful Heather from Stitching Lotus
 Click on the pic above if you want to learn more.

My first two finishes are FFOs!   On the left is a Santa Ornie that I finished ages ago and on the right Christmas Trees from Nordic Holiday, Prairie Schooler Book #191. Not the best finally finishing, if you look closely at the one on the left, I had a bit of a mishap with glue and a brown paper bag.


Then I had two "More Bah Humbug" by Sue Hillis Design finishes:

Broken Ornament....



... and Surprised Santa.

That's all for me for today,

Smalls SAL_September Update

Hey, here I am after several months, finally posting a Smalls SAL post!
My last Smalls post was at the beginning of May for my March and April Smalls. 
 

The Smalls SAL is hosted by the wonderful Heather from Stitching Lotus.

However, not a lot of Smalls to show you - just these sweet red bird hearts, which will make lovely Christmas ornies.



That's all for me for today,

Stitching! Stitching! Stitching!

Now, I have been promising you some stitching for a few posts now and today is the day!

Here they all - in no particular order....

Here is my FFO on Joyeux Noel, I am very pleased with the bobble effect although it took me about three evenings to sew it on carefully.



During my Neverending Quest to clean out my Girl's Nest, I found these sweet, nearly finished red bird, heart-shaped scissor keeps or possibly Christmas tree ornaments with a yummy chocolate inside.  All I needed to do was do the red blanket stitch to join the front and backs together.




I have also been working on Silent Night by CCN (the fabric is a lot bluer than is shown below)



I have also been working on One Nation by Bygone Stitches, I was doing really well on this but then I realised that all of the white state names are one row wrong - I will need to frog them all!  Oh no!




.... and, of course, I have been stitching on my Antique Rose Sampler, too - this is coming along very nicely.






This one is Alphabet Stitches by Blackberry Lane Designs - this is probably the smallest (apart from the red bird hearts) piece that I have stitched on the past few months.


The Ice Skaters has been progressing at a great rate...



 .... and  a bit of progress has been made on Thirteen Colonies by LHN....


 Overall, I seem to have been fixated on fairly large pieces over these past few months - not sure why, just seems to be what has tickled my fancy.

So, off to find something to stitch from my pile of UFOs for Friday Frolics.
