A Little Stitchin'

 Gentle Friends, I'm still slowly stitching away on Mary Ann... here's a snap...

... the top is in and now it's on the bottom half and once those two trees I'll get to the verse and name.  I have already got my Fall stitches lined up ( a smallish one that will work up fast and a larger one that should carry me right up to a Christmas stitch) and all the silks gathered from the four corners of the world.  I had quite a time finding some of the colors I didn't already have in my stash, but I guess it's the times we are living in that are causing the disruption...

Flashback Friday

 Gentle friends, the piece I'm posting today comes from a few years ago... here's a snap...

February 20 - March 17, 2017

"Fragments in Time - Sampler Motifs" by Summer House Stitche Workes

36ct Barn Owl called for GAST

I remember the only change I made was to add the little red bird to the "M."  I have collected yearly series and have all the charts and at some point will go back and get them stitched up.  Such a fun quick stitch!!

A Little Stitchin'

 Gentle Friends, I finished up the second Christmas piece and got back to Mary Ann... here's a snap...

... I've shifted the "orange tree" a bit and... this is the second time I stitched the pink star.  It's charted as over one, but when I stitched it in it was a bit oddball out looking so I frogged it and restitched it over two,  now I'm much happier about the way it looks.

A Little Something Different Today....

Gentle Friends, no Flashback today as I took the day off, and Rico and I are headed south to the Monterey Bay Aquarium.  Specifically to see the newest exhibit "Into The Deep: Exploring Our Undiscovered Ocean.  Here's a great video from the Aquarium about some of the curious animals way down deep...

A Little Stitchin'

 Gentle Friends, not too much stitching on Mary Ann this week...here's a snap...

... I finished up my version of the house.  I made quite a few changes to the charted version.  I moved the entire house more to the center.  It still has a naive wonkiness but now the "tree" on the left will not be bumping up against the border.  

The reason for so little stitching here is I'm furiously stitching away on a Christmas present.  I needed to focus on it so I can get the sucker to the framers ... sooner than later.  I already have another stitched piece at Vonna's for finishing and I'm feeling the pressure to get this second piece wrapped up.  There is a third piece that I'll get moving on but I'm doing that finishing, so I have a bit more lea way with that.

 Gentle Friends, this is a sampler I remember well and I changed up quite a bit...

Swan Pond Sampler 1797

40ct "Ale" from PTP

I Converted the charted floss to various overdyed floss from my stash

3/19 - 5/24

It was a fun piece and when I unrolled it from the "heap box o'rolls" I knew it was next for a Flashback.
