Catching up....

 

Once again I have let time slip

away and not kept up with my blog.

I have been busy stitching and am

spending more time on Instagram.  

It is so much easier to quickly post

a pic and quick comment.

 

 

I finally overcame my laziness

and are a few finishes.

I picked up these designs at the

Pals Stitching Retreat back in the fall.

I just love these little designs.

 

Summer House Stitche Workes

"Fragments in Time" series

stitched on 40 ct. PTP Earthen

w/ Victorian Motto threads

 

My goal was to finish in the hoops,

as the models were framed, but I

didn't leave enough room on

the first one.    If I can find the

right frame or frames, I hope

to frame together.

I have loved the "A Most Notable Name"

series from Jeannette Douglas Designs

since they first came out.

 

I have them all kitted and finally

finished two....

 

"Prim Penny" stitched on 40ct PTP

with recommended threads

"Modest Mildred" stitched on 40ct PTP

with recommended threads

 

I hope to stitch two more in the next month.

I have had this kitted for two

years and decided to stitch another

of  these small designs from

With Thy Needle & Thread...

 

 

"Friendship Samplers" stitched on 32ct. coffee dyed linen

with DMC

I always have a Lizzie Kate to take

on road trips since they are

so easy to stitch.  It has been travelling

since the end of 2013 and I finally

just decided to finish it.

 

Lizzie Kate "Don't Get Your Tinsel in a Tangle"

stitched on 14ct. mushroom Aida w/ DMC

Lastly, I have had this kitted for some

time and hope to display on my

"Colonial Stitches" wall  one day.

 

 

Plum Street Samplers "Be My Love 1759"

stitched on 40ct. Lakeside linen w/DMC

 

I did change the colors to coordinate

with two other stitches that I will

display together.  I just love this

one and have its companion,

"Pretty Pleasures", ready to go.

 

My interest in stitching colonial themed

pieces as been spurred by hubby

who is involved in a living history

internship this summer. He is loving it

and spends his weekends immersed

in the 1750's at Historic Brattonsville.

 

His most recent endeavor was in the kitchen

preparing a meal in an open hearth.

 

My wild Colonial boy....

If you made it this far, I promise to

be back soon with pics of some

recently framed goodies.  

 

Happy stitching....
