Corny by Teresa Kogut (WIP)


 This is my progress on Corny.  I've been stitching him on Saturday nights for the SummerWeen Mayhem Moment events in our Discord.  I just have the wheel and the rest of the ear of corn to finish.

I got the entire kit as a Patreon exclusive in 2025. 

I can't wait to pain the display from Chantelle's 141 Design for this one.  



Cracker: GInger - Stacy Nash (WIP)

 Here is my progress on "Ginger" from Stacy Nash.  I am stitching on this cracker on Wed. evenings during the Cathie's Challenge on our Discord group to celebrate our Designer of the Month for August.  I will be reversing and modifying the pattern to stitch the back of the cracker as well. I just grabbed floss colors out of my stash to go with "Bobbin", the little mouse cracker I previously stitched. Love how it is turning out so far.  Due to popularity, we will be continuing our Wednesday evening meetings to stitch in Discord for the next few weeks in September.

America the Beautiful Mystery SAL Part 5 (August) - Teresa Kogut (Finish)

 Today I finished Part 5 of the America the Beautiful Mystery SAL today.  Phew!  This one was more stitch heavy than the rest have been, but it was adorable!  Absolutely love the horse, the cat on the roof, and the cute little house with the bunting under the windows.
