Stitching & Sewing.....

I have been doing a small amount of stitching & sewing in the past week.  First is my finish of Carol's Mystery SAL - love it Carol - thank you again!  I have to get the box ready to mount it on...  will do that this week sometime!  If you want to purchase the chart, you can find it here......

Next up is an ornament all ready to finish.  This is by Sue Hillis from one of her new leaflets.  I love anything with peppermints for Christmas.  I used fewer colors than was called for & back stitched in the red or green instead of gray - I think it's cute.

This weekend I stitched this design by Country Stitches (A Stitcher's Purse pattern) - and indeed - "My soul is fed with needle and thread" - perfect right? 


Yesterday afternoon, I decided to see what I could do with these....


First, I sewed together 35 charm squares....  LOVE this Blueberry Crumb Cake by Blackbird Designs!!


And after cutting out the squares using the Lil' Twister Ruler, this is what I had......
(yes, from 35 5" square, it was down to this! lol)


And surprise, I made myself yet another zipper project bag!
One side.....

And the other side......
 I LOVE it!  I can see all kinds of possibilities using this Lil' Twister Ruler!


Next I will have to post the pics of the exchanges to/from in Myrtle Beach....   :-)

Happy stitching & sewing!

A few finishes....

Believe it or not, I've been doing a little bit of stitching/sewing lately and below are a few of my finishes.  This is LHN's Joy To The World, one of my favorites by Diane.  I made it into a small pillow instead of an ornament.  I love this one! I've been wanting to do some embroidery "just because".  I found a pattern in a quilt shop during the Pals Fall Fling last month that had 8 or so little snowmen all done in red.  It doesn't get much better than that - so here are my first 4.  I haven't done any embroidery since childhood - it's fun!  And boy is it faster than stitching!   I did these 4 on Sunday & I think they're pretty cute if I do say so myself.  I have a few more traced onto fabric - some are for gifts - hope the recipients will like them! I do have a few other items stitched but they aren't finished yet, so I'll save them to show later. Thanks for stopping by! Happy stitching!!
