Ginger - Stacy Nash (WIP)

Our Discord group has been stitching on Stacy Nash's crackers on Wednesday evenings for the month of September to honor our Designer of the month.  Each month we pick a new designer to stitch or to pull out finishes and FFOs with each other.  

Ginger is being stitched on 40 ct. Aztec Red, but I created my own color conversion.  I want her to more closely match the Bobbin conversion I completed last year.

 

Scarecrow Lane Drum - Teresa Kogut (New Start)

 I'm stitching this one as a SAL with some of my Discord friends: Denise (Dot Dot Goose), Cora, Kerry, and Donie.

This is part that was assigned for week 1.

Red Bunny from Pansy Patch Quilts & Stitchery (WIP)

 Red Bunny Sampler - Pansy Patch - DotDot Goose Discord SAL

I completed the second section of the Red Bunny Sampler.  We did find one small mistake in the chart in the border on the right side.  So far, I'm on schedule.  

Just a comment:  the called for Belle Soie (Tulip) looks a lot brighter on my stitch than in the chart.

MODEL STITCH -- Sh!

I decided I had to have one of the model stitches that I  just completed for the designer for myself.  I've been stitching a second copy to keep.  I just love the pattern.  It will be released at the Nashville Needlework Market in March.  Until then... it is under wraps.  I'll post a picture as soon as it is released. 

SAL - Hometown - Teresa Kogut

 Anxiously awaiting the next part of the @teresakogut Hometown SAL!

Dwelling Place - Teresa Kogut (New Start)

Today is June 14th.  As part of the 250th Bday SAL with DotDotGoose Design on the Stitching N Friends Discord, we stitch on anything patriotic and days of the month that end with a 4 (the 4th, 14th, & 24th).  

I'm starting the Dwelling Place sampler from Teresa Kogut and will continue to stitch on the sampler those specific days of the month as part of the SAL.  While not strictly patriotic, the color scheme and motifs used match pretty well as it is primarily red, white and blue.  

I'm stitching it on 40 ct. Tycho Edinburgh linen with all the called for flosses.

I previously stitched the Biscornu and 2 small pillows from this book.

I'll try to remember to post my progress each day that I stitch on it.

If you'd like to join the SAL, you can download the free Discord app, create an account and click the link below to join us on those #4 days of the month.  (Look for us in the 250th bday SAL room.

Chatelaine Watergarden SAL Starts Today!

 Started a new SAL today! I've been itching to start another Chatelaine, but didn't want to start a really big one.  When I saw this SAL posted on Instagram and Facebook, I decided to join.  It's open to everyone so if you want to join in, search for the Facebook group. 

Group name:  Chatelaine Wantergarden SAL 2025. (on Facebook)

Fabric:  28 ct. linen, Friendship from Oak Crown Studios (very slight mottled pale creamy yellow).

Floss:  I splurged and got all the called for flosses and beads including the silks from European Crossstitch Company.  Aren't they beautiful? 

I'll keep you posted on my progress.

Hometown SAL: Page 9

 I'm still on schedule! 

I finished Page 9 of Teresa Kogut's Patreon "Hometown" SAL on time.

I'm just loving this stitch.  It's my first time stitching 1 strand over 2 on 36 ct.  I'm not afraid to do a 40 ct. now and I think I'll like the coverage even more.

For those who asked, yes I did substitute some flosses.

1. The barn is stitched in Weeks Dy Works "Indian Summer" floss and I selected the particular strands in order to make the colors flow in stripes like wood.
   
   
2. The willow tree leaves were stitched with Weeks Dye Works "Tarragon".
   
   
3. The Hooked Rugs building was also stitched with the "Tarragon".

Teresa Kogut's Hometown SAL Page 7

I took the last three days to stitch page 7 of Teresa Kogut's Hometown SAL.  I'm loving this SAL.  It's never too much to stitch in a month.  It's also my first try at 36 ct. linen 1 over 1.
