I've managed to get quite a bit of stitching done on some fun projects over the week, so here are my current project photos.
Completed Band 1 of the Embroidery Sampler.
The blue and purple are the additions this week.
And a childs cheerful crochet Beanie Beret of my own design.
Also, a little update on the Party At My Place Quilt. Two more 'building blocks' added.
And some progress on a baby blanket that somebody else made, but I am repairing and joining the remaining circles.
So that was my stitchery week.
I have a lovely variety of projects still on the go.
I have a quilt wall hanging to finish off over the next few weeks, and the white circles baby blanket must get finished soon too, as the new baby it is for is due in October.
Hope you all have a great week ahead.
Happy Stitching
This has been another Year Of Projects post.
That is a wonderfully designed hat! Great job!!! Your stitching is beautiful.
ReplyDeleteThank you Dianna, happy and cheerful projects are always fun to make, especially when I make it up as I stitch.
DeleteAll your projects are great, but I really love the fact you can repair a blanket you didn't even make. That takes talent.
ReplyDeleteThanks Marsha. There is a sad story to the baby blanket. The lady who started making it for her new grandchild due in October, sadly died before finishing it. The circles needed rearranging because they didn't fit together how she had them, but I have left as much as I can of her stitching in the blanket. She made a lot of circles yet to be attached.
DeleteThe beanie is so cute, what cheerful colors. Your other projects are pretty amazing too. I love the embroidery sampler.
ReplyDeleteThanks Lisa. I'm liking the discipline involved in the making of the sampler too.
DeleteI love all your things, Cyra. Your embroidery stitching is so pretty and perfect. And that hat is great! Love the colors!
ReplyDeleteThank you Becki, I'm having fun.
DeleteWhat lovely and varied projects. I love the building blocks and the circles being repaired and constructed is such a lovely thing to do, I know that will be cherished.
ReplyDeleteThanks Lucy, the blanket will be an emotional surprise for the mother to be in October, as she has no idea that it is getting finished.
DeleteReally sweet embroidery. I have the embroidery bug lately. That is a lovely thing you are doing for the Mother and new baby....in remembrance of the grandmother...so sad but I bet she is smiling down on you right now. Your hat design is so cute and I love the colors you used. The quilt is like an optical illusion...actually, it IS an optical illusion! LOL! Very intricate. Good luck on all your lovely projects! Have a great week!
ReplyDeleteYes, I love optical illusions, and this quilt is just that.
DeleteAll your projects are wonderful, but oh my, that quilt is mesmerizing.
ReplyDeleteThank you. It's been a long time in the making, and slowly getting closer to being finished.
DeleteLove all your projects, the one that caught my eye the most is the quilt, wow!
ReplyDeleteThe baby blanket is going to be so special for the new baby, and so sweet of you to do it.
Thank you Sharon, I like to keep busy.
ReplyDeleteI love all of your projects. You've been really busy. I especially love seeing the embroidery. I want to learn to do that. I learned to do a few stitches like the french knot and back stitch but I was using them on crochet projects. I love the colors you used, esp the sage green cloth.
ReplyDeleteThank you so much djc. I like the green background fabric too, but it's hard on the eyes while working on it. I remember now why I usually pick a light coloured backcloth, lol.
