April progress....

April was a good stitchy month and  I

finished the next installment of my

Prairie Schooler ABC's sampler.

Prairie Schooler "G is for Gardern"

This was great stitch for April as the gardens

were so appropriate for the month. 

I only have 11 left to stitch and would love

to finish this one this year.   I just have to

double up a few months...easy peasy!

I was also able to finish two more on my

BBD Garden Series.  These stitch up

very quickly and I hope to finish this one

up by year end.

I am taking part in Stitchmaynia 2017

and have decided to finally start all the

club kits I have been accumulating the

last 3 years.  All of the fabric and threads

are ready to go so it is easy to pick one

up and go.  Since they are all "smalls" I

am also going to challenge myself to fully

finish these so I can enjoy each day.

I am excited to be attending the

Primitive Stitcher's Society retreat this

weekend in Columbus Ohio.  I am so looking

forward to spending great stitching time

with both old and new friends.   I am off to pack

and hopefully get a few stitches in.

Happy stitching....

Stitching progress.....

Hope all are having a great stitching month....

I finally decided to start the BBD

Garden Series from this month after

seeing Nicole's beautiful finish.

I started in the bottom right corner which

meant the last one would be the first.

BBD "All in A Row"

stitched on Silkweaver Clay Pebble

with recommended threads

This was a quick sweet stitch but I have

to admit I was a little disappointed

in the colorway of the hand dyed threads.

I know the variegation of the threads can

cause the stitched piece to vary from the

model and I wish I had now changed the

threads to better match by taste.  I will

definitely do that going forward.

After finishing up my monthly PS Alphabet series,

I decided to stitch another in the

Garden Series. I just love the colors in

this one.  I can tell this one will

be a fun one to complete.

 BBD "Fairy Garden"

stitched on Silkweaver Clay Pebble

with recommended threads

Speaking of my PS Alphabet,  I have finished

my next installment and stitched

"F is for Friend".  This was a fun

stitch even with the solid blocks of color.

PS "F is for Friend"

stitched on 40ct linen with recommended DMC
