A new Start and some finishes!

Today I was able to get started on the birth sampler for our newest nephew. This is what I picked out for him. I thought it was cute love the little babies!


I did not get to far because we spent the afternoon at his sister's first birthday. My SIL and her hubby have three beautiful adopted children. A three year old, one that just turned one and one that is two months old. Needless to say they have their handsful.
This week I stitched up two of our projects for our NANI EGA guild that I will be teaching.
The first is a Victoria Sampler Christmas Rose:


The second is a bookmark done by needlelace.



I hope the other guild members will enjoy the classes.
Until next time
May you be blessed with stitches,

Stitching & Watching the Olympics

I have spent the weekend stitching and watching the Olympics. Unfourtnatelly no pics because it is a gift and not sure if the person checks out my blog or not. But that is done and I got started on something else this evening so stay tuned for some pics in the future. I have also been enjoying the Olympics how about you? Hope everyone has had a nice Valentine day!
Until next time

A finish

Whohoo! I finished up my name tag for my Chicago ANG guild:


It was a fun little stitch. Yesterday I went shopping with some of my stitching friends. I picked up the supplies for some classes I will be taking so stay tuned! Today I started on a project that is a secret so no pics. The board of the EGA guild I am in alway stitches something for the outgoing president so I got it started.
How about those Saints! Even though I live in Indiana I was pulling for the Saints. Yes I am a Bears fan. Plus couldn't go against the Brees being that he is a Boilermaker.
I hope that you all are getting plenty of stitching time this winter.
Until next time,
May you be blessed with stitches,

Another Happy Dance

I had another finish on Friday:



This is Marilyn's Garden by Deebee Designs. It was our class last week at Chicago ANG. Done on canvas with rayon overdyed. It was fun to stitch! With lots of different stitches. Other than this I have been working on my nametag for the group hopefully I can finish that up this week. I hope everyone had a lovely weekend.
Until next time

Thanks to the lovely ladies at House of Stitches I received my thread today and I sat down and finished this up:





I do believe Rose Quartz will become a little pillow. It was a fun stitch. I am still working away on my nametag. Hope you all are having a stitchy week!

Arghhh!!

Well I had hoped to post another Happy Dance last night but...... I got down to about 20 minutes of stitching and ran out of thread:(!. I only needed about one more strand. So an email will be going into the House of Stitches to see if I can get some snail mailed to me so I can get it finished up. But don't despair I had something else to stitch:)! I started my nametag for the Chicago ANG don't think I will have it done by Saturday but by the next meeting for sure.
Until next time,
May you be blessed with stitches,
