2 Finishes, a WIP, a New Start & Coming Attractions!

Finish #1  Stacy Nash's

Country Sampler "Snowed In" Ornament

It came as a kit from Country Sampler's Stacy Nash club.  There is also a pinkeep included that I haven't stitched yet.  See below-

 

 

 

Finsh #2-Little House Needleworks

Melicent Turner

30 ct R & R Olde Towne Blende

Called for Crescent Colours floss

OK-I admit it-I mixed the colors up in the top half a little differently than charted.  It was just too neutral and hard to read for my liking.  I also added another color.  The birds at the bottom were charted to be white and I just couldn't do it.  Using WDW Twilight I made "blue"birds. Then I added a little more blue in the top portion to tie the sampler together.

 

My wool applique classes have begun!

WIP-Wooden Spool Designs

Gingerbread & Gumdrops--kitted by my LQS

It is all cut out, placed and stapled on the block.  Yes, I said stapled. This is a technique my LQS uses and recommends. So I'll give it a try.  Only a small amount of blanket stitching is done. This will be finish-finished as a pillow.

A Wooly Good Year Quilt-January block

 

Now that I see a picture I can see the long arm needs to be on the other side :)

The pattern is below-

Coming Attractions-

Debbie Stiehler

American Patchwork

Stunning, huh?  (Borrowed the photo from Debbie's website) This is a fairly large shaker box-so it is a good sized project. It's been in my stash for a few years now and it was time to get going on it. The Spokane Needlework Guild is hosting Debbie and I am going to this class in June.

 

Have a great holiday weekend!
