IHSW round up ......

Well, I have to say that I have had the most productive IHSW this weekend.  Friday night (which happened to by FNSI)  I completed the Finishing on three small cushions, finished stitching a row of Halloween cats and did some sewing on another Halloween small cushion.  You can see pictures of all of these here.

Then on Saturday (late afternoon and evening) I finished stitching my first Little Sheep Virtue: Hope by LHN. This is a SAL I am doing with Sarah,  Lija and Anne.

Little Sheep Virtues: Hope

LHN

28 ct linen (unknown)

DMC threads

Then on Sunday, I did the final Finish on my two Halloween pieces, I am very pleased with how they have turned out and with the bright Halloween fabric I paired them with.

The last item I worked on was my PS Santa's 12 Days of Christmas which is a Sunday SAL with my dear friend, Linda.  I am up to Day 7.

So, as I said, the most productive of weekends.  I love it when FNSI and IHSW coincide.  If you want to see what everyone else got up to for either FNSI or IHSW, follow the links.

P.S.  A couple of reminders.....

A couple of new SALs and some Stash Empire building...

.... because I am just not busy enough (lol!) and I am a sucker for SALs, I have started a couple of new ones.

First up is Stitcher Anon's Halloween Stitchalong, we have a FB group where you can check out everyone's progress here.

This is where I am up to.... running a bit behind but that is okay, I don't mind.

SAL number two I am doing with Sarah and Lija and we are stitching Little Sheep Virtues by LHN. We have started with "Hope".

This is going to be a train stitching piece for me, so I am hopeful it will all go quite quickly.


Yesterday, I popped into my LNS,  Lazy Daisy to pick up my copy of JCS Halloween Ornie magazine.  Sometimes it is so frustrating being in Australia, as these mags are so hard to get!

But, of course, whilst I was there I had to pick up some more Stash Empire.....

... some gorgeous Blackbird Designs and some wonderful Prairie Schooler designs to add to my collection.  Hard to choose my favourite but it would probably have to be Cats on Parade and Without a Mouse, I think.

Well, that is all for me - two posts in one day - woo hoo!

Now, don't forget to check out my Travelling Pattern post if you are interested in being the next person to stitch Bent Creek's Land of Liberty, it closes next Sunday, 21st September.
