I started the Scottish Friendship pincushion pattern that I received at the April 2025 Retreat at Hobby House.

My friend Stacie was able to quilt my crib quilt top on her longarm machine saving me a tremendous amount of time.
Here is the Jack Dempsey Needle Arts "Jungle" Crib Quilt Top. It is 40" x 60" and I used a cotton jungle print on the back and binding.
The top is completely cross, stem and satin stitches.
An older flosstube by ElizabethAnnCanStitch came up on my feed that looked really easy and I thought I'd try it to use up some leftover fabric.
It was a very easy pattern and as always, her instructions were very quick and easy to follow.
Here is the link to the floss tube:

I took the Spooky Starburst Project Bag class with Tiger Lily. I love her classes, I've taken quite a few and always learn something new.
Here is the bag I made. I kitted it up myself.
I used a fat quarter bundle assortment titled Costume Party. I was tired of all the black and orange.
The best part is that there was a cute little maltese dog dressed up as a candy corn that I could fussy cut for the center.
I needed something quick and I just love stitching Hands on Design patterns in between my big projects.
I will stitch the pincushion first, then will do the other two.
Fabric: 32 ct. lugana, white
Floss: I used the called for flosses, GAST: Banker’s Grey, Cornhusk, Dungarees, and Tropical Ocean but substituted Weeks Dye Works - Louisiana Hot Sauce for the Rhubarb.
I can't believe I've kept up to date every month for the past two years during this mystery SAL. I have loved every minute of the SAL.
Each month is an easily handled section. This made it enjoyable and not a task to be done. Thank you Teresa!
I had to take a few days to make a crib quilt for one of my friends. This is the Jack Dempsey Needle Arts Quilt Blocks - Transportation. The blocks are all cross stitch and stem stitch. I used a cotton blue batik for the framing and a cotton superhero print for the back.
I'll post a better picture when I'm done.
I've been dying to start the retreat stitch from The Hobby House in April 2024. We got a collaborative piece from Beth Twist and Paulette Stewart. There were 4 sections to the complete project if you wanted to stitch it as a long band.
I can't wait to work on it.
I'm busy stitching a model stitch for the next few days and...
No! (much to the chagrin of my Discord pals), I won't tell you what it is or show it to you. Sorry!
Today's stitch was a Free Stitch Friday chart from Lindsey Weight @primrosecottagestitches. I needed something quick to stitch while I was waiting for a special package to arrive.
I was packing away my patriotic stitches, and had to take a picture before putting them in the bin.
I just LOVE these recent FFO's I did for the 4th of July display. "Patriotic Tweet", "USA Star", and "God Bless the USA" are all from Teresa Kogut. Quick to stitch and quick to FFO!
