Last Week In My Journey

Another beautiful, sunny day.... the temps are heading down, but the days are just great....

got quite a bit stitched this past week.... the fifth page of the 'Mystery Spot Sampler' by Martina Dey arrived on Friday and I got that stitched up yesterday.... next page will take us back to the left side again to start another row.....




when we got back home on Thursday there was a surprise in my mailbox.... 'From Sea To Shining Sea' a colaberation between Little House Needleworks and Crescent Colours..... this is a 6 part project that comes out once a month, thru January 2009 and each part comes with the silks needed to work the design..... so far the border and part 1 (the west coast) are here and I got that stitched.... took about 15.5 hours.... I didn't do the whole border tho.... I'm just going to do it as I go across our beautiful country.... this is being stitched on 28 count, tan, Monaco fabric...




'South Seas Mermaid' by Mirabilia is coming along nicely and she will be my project this week until 'My Stitching Album' by Jeannette Douglas', chapter 2 arrives sometime later in the week, then I'll be off to stitch on that...... this progress picture of 'South Seas Mermaid' is at about 52.25 hours....



hope you all have a great week, and I'll 'see' you again soon....

Hello Everyone!!




This is another try at a blog for me... I'm not really too good at posting daily, so this may be hit or miss... I will be sharing my stitching addiction with you...


yesterday I finished page 2 of a multi-week spot sampler mystery by Martina Dey of Wiehenburg's Designs... I am stitching this mystery one over one on 28 count, white evenweave using Vikki Clayton Hand-Dyed Fibers.... I picked 'Acts of Violets' and the three colors that make it up: Lilac Mist (2143), Nosegay (2109) and Sue-Purple-Ous....

the Quaker Sampler in the heading is another mystery by Martina Dey... it was the 2007 project and I stitched it one over one on 28 count, white evenweave with Vikki Clayton Hand-Dyed Fibers....



Here is another Martina Dey mystery that ran from January 2008 thru August 2008.... this was stitched one over one on 28 count, white evenweave with one DMC Color Variations and the DMC floss colors that make it up....




today I plan to finish part 9 of another mystery in 13 parts - 'How Does Your Garden Grow' by Yvonne Horn of Papillon Creations... I'll post a picture tomorrow to show you my progress on this project...
