With the Summer off, I’ve been clearing out a number of partial projects. The first to report are some cross stitches I had completed over the last several months but did not finish off.
First is this Pin Money Pocket by Summer House Stitch Works I stitched up a couple months ago. I saw it on Facebook awhile ago on a prim stichers group and decided I needed to have it. Now that I have it, I don’t know what I will do with it!
I also had one by Little House Needleworks called “Giving Thanks”. It had an included bonus design as well. It kind of says it all…
It’s never to early to think about those Christmas projects. I started this Christmas one by Plum Street Samplers back in January, but got sick of the 40 count linen I was doing it on. I finally got some reading glasses in order to finish it without killing my eyes and finished it up a couple of weeks ago. Instead of finishing it up as three ornaments as shown on the pattern, I ended up doing a patchwork and finishing it that way. I’ve started finishing most of my cross stitches as little “wall-quilts” simply because it is easier than framing them, I think.
Last up are a few from Lizzie Kate, who I LOVE. Two of them are stitch themed, but the last was the most recent Mystery Sampler. It’s a great quote from Helen Keller. And now that I have finally finished it up, she’s releasing another! I think I’ll head over to the shop this afternoon and get my name on the list…
