June Hiatus - Model stitch in progress.

 I'll be working on a model stitch for the rest of the month of June so I won't be posting too many new start or WIP pictures until I finish this stitch.  Loving it so far!

Make Today Count by Hands on Design - FFO

 I did take time out today to FFO Make Today Count from Hands on Design.  Finished on a special Chantelle 141 Design board, it was part of a kit I got through Chantelle's Patreon.

Henry & Lucy - FFO

 


Heartstring Samplery | Lucy to Henry 

&

Plum Street Samplers | Henry to Lucy


Retreat piece from Hobby House in April 2025.  

Note:  I shortened the pattern to fit in the space it was going to be displayed. A small border section is missing from the bottom of the piece.

I finally chose FFO materials for my Henry & Lucy band sampler. 

I found a matching piece of backing fabric and decided to make my own cording from DMC 930 floss.

Patriotic Scissor Fobs & Zipper Pulls

 I also made some patriotic scissor fobs and zipper pulls for an upcoming event in one of my discord groups.  


Smiling Frog Zipper Pulls


 Decided to make a few zipper pulls this afternoon.  

Found these cute little frogs at Hobby Lobby and just had to use them.

 I just added some rondelles, silver beads, charm, and a lobster clasp.  They came out really nice!
