This is adorable.  I can't wait to learn how to finish it in class

Hometown SAL - November

Hometown Mystery SAL from Teresa Kogut Patreon - November 2024

I spent the last two days stitching the latest installment of Teresa Kogut's Mystery SAL. 

Can't wait for next month's

Fabric:  36 ct. Vintage Country Mocha

Floss:  Called for DMC with a few substitutions. In this part I subbed Tarragon for two of the apple trees.  I wanted a variety in my orchard.  

Autumn Quaker

I think I forgot to post my Autumn Quaker by Primrose Cottage.

Fabric:  32 ct. platinum lugana

Floss:  Silk N Colors - Autumn Honey

These always stitch quickly for me.  I just love a nice quaker pattern.

I made a project bag with Tiger Lily

Make with Tiger Lily Patchwork Perfect Points Project Bag

As a patreon subscriber to Tiger Lily Designs, I had early access to her live Patchwork Perfect Points Project Bag workshop.  It was wonderful!

I'm a beginner to sewing anything but straight seams, so this was right up my alley.  

This is what the kit looked like when it arrived, although it was in a cute drawstring bag.

This was my first bag.  A little wonky, but it works!

This was my second attempt.  I did better on the zipper, but will need to work on binding better.

October 2024 Statistics

 October 2024 Statistics - Lots of Halloween Stitching!

I had very few Halloween stitches last year, so I decided to do a bunch of it this year.  I fell in love with the little witch display from Paisley & Polka Dots shown in a previous post and she needed friends to join her in the display space.  

While it wasn't a tremendous number of projects, I FFO'd almost the same number that I started, so I'll count that as a win.
