Fully Finished Gallery SAL_March 2021 Report + March TUSAL report

I seem to have had a very busy week or so, so it has taken me some time to post again but some of what I was busy with was FFOing for this SAL - so all good!

 So, it is that time of the month again - time to show off my Fully Finished Objects...

                                       

 Hosted by Rachel the Ten Hour Stitcher

This is a great SAL, designed to motivate us all to do something with that box of Finished pieces instead of just storing them under the bed or in my case, in a drawer! The idea is to link up on Rachel's blog on or after the 10th of each month (10 Hour Stitcher - 10th of the month)..... 

So, how did I go this month?  It was an excellent month, I think, with another TEN FFOs this month: giving me a running total of FFOs for 2021 of NINETEEN!

The most recent finishes (not yet shown on this blog) are in the pic, below:

#1 and #2: Two Santas from Prairie Schooler "Santas and Snowmen", Book #151.

#3  Is a Snowman, also from Prairie Schooler "Santas and Snowmen", Book #151.

All three were finished in the same way with a red spot fabric, a red, green and gold twisted cord and a red gingham bow and a button. For the snowman design, I found this very cute snowman button in my button box (sorry that the pic is a bit blurred).

All three were finished with this rather cute fabric showing a red truck carrying a Christmas tree.

#4 Is an iceskater which I think is from a JCS Christmas Ornie Mag but not sure which one (for a former librarian I keep terrible records, don't I - lol!)

I used this cute polar bear and snowflakes to fabric on the back.

#5 is a Grandma Kringle's design - cute, isn't it?

Finished on the back with this cute blue and white Christmas tree fabbie.

#6 is also from a JCS Christmas Ornie Magazine but again, not sure which one (don't let the 2019 on it fool you - it is not the 2019 edition).

The other four FFOs have been showcased in earlier posts this month, which you can read here: Christmas Goose and here: Stitching Bee, Sweet Land of Liberty and A Spot of Spring.

You can check out what everyone else Fully Finished this month here.

And to finish off, here is my TUSAL for the month, guarded zealously by Furio - lol!

... and If you are wondering what I am talking about, TUSAL stands for the Totally Useless Stitch A Long, where we post each month's collection of ORTs (Old Ratty Threads). You can read all about it by clicking on the pic below:

FNSI_February 2020 edition

I worked on two projects yesterday, Friday, for FNSI

and Friday Frolics - 

One small and one larger.... and drum roll, please.....

Both are Happy Dances!

First is PS Santa 2005 - I love the fact that he is holding a quilt and sewing equipment.

... and the second is Snowflake Serenade by CCN - I really love this design - the soft palette is so very gorgeous.

As you can imagine, I am Happy Dancing all over the house to have two finishes, especially Snowflake Serenade, which has been in my WIP pile for a while now.

Thanks for visiting and please don't forget to leave a comment as I do love a good chat.

Also, don't forget to check out the other FNSIers, here.

First FNSI report for 2020...

.... and my first for a couple of years!!!!!!

In case you are not sure what I am talking about, FNSI or Friday Night Sew In is a virtual stitching get together hosted by Wendy from Sugarlane Designs on the third Friday of every month.  Click on the button below to find out who took part this month.

I worked on three projects last night for FNSI, two smalls and one larger.

First up is the 2005 Prairie Schooler Santa, which is the first of the yearly PS Santas for a SAL with my dear friend, Marie (we plan to stitch all of them over the next couple of years).

Before:

 FNSI Progress:

My second project in last night's rotation was Winter Wonderland by CCN.  I do love this design - it is so very pretty.

Before:

FNSI Progress:  I stitched the two doves on the bottom panel (my goal is to get the bottom panel finished by the end of this weekend for IHSW - there will be a post on this on Monday).

... and I finished the Let it Snow panel - I added extra snowflakes 'cos I liked them so much.

I also worked on this unknown piece, just for fun!

This week's Stitching Rotation ...

 This week I have kept a mini stitching rotation going ... I have worked on four projects:

1. I kept working on "'Twas the night before Christmas" from PS Book #63

2. I started "Warm Hands, Warm Heart", which is the January Ornament for the JCS Christmas Ornie FB SAL  - The Little Stitcher, p. 52 from JCS Christmas Ornie Magazine.

3. "Fa La La" by LHN, the January Ornament for the Christmas Ornie SAL 2018.

4. "Dancing Witches" by Needle Bling Designs for the January Ornament for the Halloween Ornie SAL 2018 - this will be a "Winged Creature" - an Owl.

 

However, I have moved on from the rotation today as it is Friday and time for Friday Frolics.

You can check out what I will be stitching on for FF, if you click here.

Smalls SAL 2018_ January Update....

Well, well, well, here I am only a few days late for the January Smalls SAL - will miracles never cease?

Whilst we were away on our European travels I managed to stitch on some small Prairie Schooler designs (I always find them very achievable whilst on the move).

I finished three designs from Book #121 "Bunnies and Chicks"

I am so pleased with how these have turned out and I am keen to stitch the other three before the year is out.

I also stitched from Book #177 "January".

I finished the Small "Snow Day"

... and I started the large design as well (I know, I know, it is not a Small, but I thought that I would just sneak it in!)

Okay, that is my Smalls Update,
