It's that time again for our Smalls post. Our SAL is run by Heather of Stitching Lotus and you can click on her link to see what all the participants have been stitching this past month!
I only got a few stitched which makes for only a few to be able to post about. I did sign up for the With Thy Needle & Thread Summer Schoolhouse project and I managed to get it almost completed before part 2 arrived. It arrived the day before I put in the last of my stitches. Oh well. I will call it close enough. This is A LOT of over 1 stitching on 25ct Mushroom Lugana. This project is stitched in the called for threads and fabric. I am not ususally a huge fan of stitching big pieces over one thread.....no matter what count it is. However, this was just a cute fun filled project that I just had to sign up for it.
This is my part 1 stitched only portion. I am going to back it with regular fabric rather than the mushroom lugana like she recommended.
I am sorry for the lines on the sides as I have been extremely busy after getting my DD settled back into TN for her to do her student teaching and then DS starting school here. So I have been playing catch up on chores, errands and other appointments and retirements that have taken my time as of lately. So a few wrinkles can wait until I am actually doing the finishing on it.
I have been going back and trying to get other finished projects sewn up and actually finished! This is PS 2015 Santa that I finished stitching earlier this year. Now he is all complete and ready to hang on my Christmas tree this year!
Last project I have finished is NOT a stitched project. I made a new cup organizer for DD to use at the school where she is doing her student teaching. I would like to say that the high school she is teaching Chemistry at is my high school!!! Yes.....I am A VERY PROUD MAMA!!!! The patter for this mug organizer is Simplicity 2450.
That is all I have to share for this month. I am still trying to finish up this month's PS Santa and so perhaps next week I can get it finished into the ornament along with the other 3 sitting on my cutting table.
Happy Stitching everyone!
Nice work on the Summer Schoolhouse, it looks lovely over one.
ReplyDeleteBe careful with the cup organiser, all your daughter's colleagues will want one now!
Three beautiful finishes, Brenda! I just got the Summer Schoolhouse chart...it's so pretty!
ReplyDeleteSuper finishes, Brenda! I like the cup organizer you created for your daughter. I wish her much success doing her student teaching.
ReplyDeleteVery beautiful finishes.
ReplyDeletefirst congrats on your DD student teaching at your old HS - how awesome is that! I love your WTNT finish - very nice. I resisted ordering that one because I HATE over one and thought I'd never do it but then I kept seeing them stitched over 2 on bigger count linen and they were just as pretty so mine are on the way. I also want to join the LHN FB Autumn SAL - I have ordered the new chart from LHN - not sure when it will come in - not sure I can finish by 11/1 but I will still have fun being a participant. Hope all is well and things are "falling" into place for you Brenda - take care Mel
