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.

Love Letters

Well, Friday afternoon, I came home from the dentist after having my back molar extracted, feeling very sad and sorry for myself!  So, what to do?  I know, take some strong painkillers, cuddle the cat, watch some trashy TV and get started on my Friday Frolics stitching and why not chose something for the June theme  for the Christmas Ornie SAL (Christmas animal/pet).


So, after a drowsy afternoon and evening - Voila!  Here is a little Noel piece, nearly finished!



and then, with a bit more stitching on Saturday morning - all done!

My own choice of overdyed threads (as I had none of the suggested ones  - lol)

I am so very pleased with how this turned out.
