Works In Progress: Revisited.  Well, good morning All!  I have been on but haven't posted because I want you to see progress... sometimes it doesn't look like much! lol  I started ByGone Stitches Quaker Christmas sometime ago.  I was doing pretty good and then tragedy... well, maybe not tragedy but... see the medallion not finished?  I had stitched all the way around almost to a close when again... I'm off 1 thread... ARRRRGGGGG! so long story short... I pulled it out and put Quaker Christmas down for a season... lol  I picked it up Saturday... and now I'm working on that medallion again... but it's going a little smoother!  I'm stitching on 32ct Days Gone By 1/1 using Gloriana Silks.

Also continuing on with EftH Resurrection.  I am making some progress here also, I started the cross. I am extending my sides so that I might scroll my linen up.  I get all excited... then I look at the picture of the finished work and realize, yeah... you have a long, long, long way to go! :)

Also, I have finished stitching my secret valentine... I just need to decide what I'm going to make with it... should it be a box, a needle book, a pillow, a pin cushion...??? what do you think??? if you were getting a secret valentine in the mail... what would you want???  Have a glorious day!

More stash...

Mail Call!!!!  I mentioned earlier how the mail lady had been letting me down... well she came through today!!!
I got STASH!  
1. LHN Poinsettia House with threads
2. LHN Winter Band Sampler
3. BBD Valentine Rose AotH series
4. Ackworth Variations Part 2

Then to top it off I got a swap! From Sonda my Fair & Square Holiday partner... she had some family issues arise during the holiday time and was set back.  I hope all is well, Sonda!  Today in the mail I received these lovely squares that she stitched for me as well as a beautiful scissor fob.  Thank you so very much!  I am going to make the squares into an ornament.  I will post a picture when I get it finished.

We started our Bible study today.  We went through the 1st chapter of Daniel.  It's really quite fascinating how God works.  Actually the first chapter is very action packed!  

Well, good evening to you and yours... stay safe and warm.

Bygone Stitches ~ Quaker Christmas and Stash

Ok, here's my ByGone Stitches ~ Quaker Christmas... obviously I'm not very far... I had to pull stitches... arrrgggghhhhh! I'm stitching on 32 ct Silkweavers "Days Gone By" 1/1... so pulling stitches... yuk! I'm doing it a little different... I added the blue which really isn't very Christmasy... but I couldn't resist! The threads are Gloriana Silk Luminescence: Black Cherry, Forest, Antique Gold and Midnight.

OOOO! Stash Report! Smaller picture is Thread Gather Silken Pearl... the bigger picture is more Gloriana Luminescence... I got that beautiful dark blue but then of course had nothing to go with it... I ordered the Sky Blue to go with it! Also, I added the purples and the green... absolutely GORGEOUS!!! ;-)
Isn't this just the prettiest picture? I have been "collecting" Gentle Arts, Cresent Colours and Weeks Dye for a while now... lol... so I snapped this picture... there is nothing more lucious than beautiful overdyed threads!!!
