Day Eleven

 A little more snow and little more blue sky.

Day Ten

 

I'm smelling a finish on this one. I've got about four large ornaments worth of stitching to do. I'll be so happy to reach the end of the blue. 

Reminder: I'm attempting to document stitching every day of spring until summer is here 

Day Nine

 Still Bird Crushing here in Virginia. 

At Woodlawn

The house. The pleasing symmetry. 

In the hallway. 

The other side. There were three of the Maharaja's Elephant hanging here. All different and wonderful. Some day I'll get back to mine. 

A Toast to Tiffany, a class piece designed by Kay Stanis. 

A sampler that looks like Berlin work. I like this one. 

A 

 A Bayeux piece by my friend, Mary. Cool. 

Award winning stumpwork!

Ha ha ha! 

Day Eight

 Went Woodlawn to see the Needlework Show. But I'm here to document Day Eight of stitching thru spring. More progress on my winter canvas. And I picked out which one to stitch next. Now let's hope I finish this one by summer.

Yes. Watching Tournament of Champions on the Food Network. 

Day Seven

 Where I ended on Saturday. I have three more skeins of blue, but I'm betting I only need two. 

Day Six

 Flower Basket finished. This was our EGA class in February and I finished it today. Pretty little basket on green congress cloth. Filled with flowers and branches. 

Day Five

 Bird Crushing it while watching Top Chef!

Day Four

 No photo. But as I sat at the military pharmacy waiting to pick up my prescriptions, I did wonder how many hours I've spent stitching st the pharmacy.

If you are not military, you won't understand. 

Peace out. 

Day Three

 Lindy Stitches Bird Crush Club.

Day Two

 Day Two of stitching thru spring, a thread or maybe more on my Warren Kimble winter piece from Cooper Oaks.

Back on Track

 

This is my next finish. Date of finish is 3/20/22, otherwise known as the first day of spring.

From My Pink Sugar Life, this will be a present for my middle granddaughter. At age five, she's fascinated by sharks. 

It's all basketweave. A fair amount of shine. It just makes me smile. 

This is the beginning of me trying to stitch every day of spring. So day one accomplished. 

Detour

 

The four of us at Waste Knot Needlepoint all have a jockey silk canvas to stitch for Neighdlepoint. 

I got Count Fleet, the Triple Crown Winner in 1943. Background is basketweave in pearl #5 in blanc. I had to show the perfect magnet for this project. 

Moorish stitch in Pepper Pot with a few black stitches in Fyre Werks. Love how this came out. 

What this is all about is covering a fiberglass house in needlepoint in Lexington, KY. 

Another WIPGO Finish

 Here we have Alexander Alligator. This was the first class that I ever took at a national seminar. 

This was designed and taught by Lynn Payette. I am terrible at construction and interpreting her instructions has been my focus all week. 

Yes. He can swallow my scissors. 

Santa Finish

 I think I stitched this in 2020 or 2021. But I didn't cut it out and put it together till a Friday afternoon in February 2022. I was Zoom stitching with my friends and stumbled upon this and decided to cut it out.

Greenskeeper Santa. I forget whether this was released in 1997 or 1998.

Yes. I have a boatload of these paper Santas to stitch. I need to ratchet up production. 

From February

Yes, I am stitching Lindy Stitches What a Marvelous World SAL. 

This photo stinks as my fabric is actually blue. Picture This Plus Ariel to be exact. I have never kept up with a SAL before, but this is the month I fall behind most likely. Love this. Love everything Stephanie designs. I've got a lot of her patterns and cross stitching is totally my speed right now. 

 

Fourth WIPGO Finish

 Another bonus finish. In February I was Zoom stitching with my Friday friends when I had enough of what I was working on. I swiveled my chair and one of my clear plastic project cases caught my eye.

And there was Dolly. I had last worked on this at Camp Wannastitch January 2020. You know, in the before times. Fringe beading, messy beading, whatever you want to call it, it's a lot of beads. She's on some beautiful green wool from my stash with a piece of ribbon for her blanket. She's number 3 of 4 in a beaded menagerie class that Nancy Eha did for the EGA.

So many hours of beading later, she's finished and in her custom painted hoop.
