Quick Stitch Weekend 4-25-09

Tuesday, April 28, 2009

I have not had a Quick stitch weekend in ages but this last weekend I had this one. I was brousing around on my EMS group one day and found this cute little guy. I changed the colors just a bit because of the dark fabric.

New Years Eve

Wednesday, December 31, 2008

As we prepair to say by by to 2008 and say Hello to 2009 I wanted to get in one last post. I have been collecting the state quarters for 10 years now and have completed this map. It now hangs in my living room where it will stay for a long time to come.

My last stitched finish of 2008. It will be going to my youngest son very soon. He has painted all these Chinese symbols on his wall and I thought this would be a great addition to it. I hope he likes it.

To all and hope 2009 is a good one..

Some more Ornaments

Monday, December 15, 2008

First photo is my two latest stitched ornament's
Snowman is from the 2007 Christmas issue of JCS magazine The other was a freebie that I received in a Christmas card. Thought that was a neet idea and I might just duplicate this idea next year.

Sunday Dennis and I went to the candle shop and we saw this candle holder there. Dennis and I both looked at each other and said "I/you can do that with clay". So when we got home I set out and made these two Vol tine candle holders. The first one was a flop so I gave it another try.

Been a few weeks

Wednesday, October 08, 2008

This one was completed last week and it was a freebie. I know how much you all like freebies so Click Here and you can have this too.

As you can see the fabric was hand dyed but when I ironed it it made these marks. I added the buttons and leaves with a little Aleans tacky glue after stitching. For the second one I just turned the fabric over but on this one it kinda added to the stitched piece so I left it.
Next this one was completed today at about 3:00 PM. It was from the Pumkins 'A Plenty II booklet in one of my last posts. I really enjoyed stitching both of these.

Some one said she would like to see my Fob Collection so I figured I would show you all. I can tell you who made three of them but can't remeber on the other two so I'm just gonna leave it at that. Maybe I should put a tiny tag on them so I can remeber in the future with the mind going and all...LOL
I love them all so thank you to my stitching friends whom took the time to make me one. I have made a few in my time but don't think they even come close to the ones made for me.

Last weekend I had my oldest son and we got out the scarecrows. With his help this is what we got done..Think we need more and then one more starnd of lights too. It lights up orange at night but that photo didn't come out so good. maybe tonight or tomarrow I will feel like tryin again then I'll post in my next post.

ONE LAST THING ::: Please take a minute and tell me what you think of the Fall Blog Due. Thank's

Show and Tell

Thursday, July 31, 2008

This is how I decided to organize my special floss's such as SSS- WDW ..ECT.

With the help Of My sweet Friend Lillie I added to my stash and the kids got a Necklace from Malaysia. I got a meshuring tape hand crafted by Lillie And some Chocolate goodies.. Wahoo
Guess she figured it would take me a while to get this done for myself. Thank You Lillie.

Close up of pattern.

Other stash added by me just because I want to stitch it next year.

Stash I added because I was 1450 post winner on ESC. Wahoo that was a fun contest and I'm glad I can be a part of such a great group.

My stitching project for July 30 & 31. It's a SMO Doddle and I used WDW - Independence and DMC - 930 on the hearts in the center + the boarder. This will be ornament 5 of my 4Th of July tree.

I'm off to stitch some gifts so they will not be shown for a bit. Thanks for stopping by and letting me share my goodies with you.

Monday stitching

Monday, July 21, 2008

Started this at 7am and finished it at 4:45 on Monday 7-21-08. With all my breaks it took me a total of 6 hours to stitch. Then about an hour to finish it into a Pin keep.
Used Sampler Threads- Blue Jay-0210
Hand dyed the fabric a light blue with gold Glitter mixed in.
It's a Casa Mia Freebie
I stitched this not only case I fell in love with the design but because Linda at work loves angels and is moving in a few weeks so, Figured it would make a good house warming gift.

Kreativ Blogger Award!

Thank You Lisa S. for this award.
The idea of blogging is cool enough, but then to do it with a touch of 'kreativity' is fun! I've seen so many outstanding blogs, some simple, others more complex, and enjoy so many of them for what makes them unique. A person's blog style, color choice, and content allows us to know more about each other across the miles and foster friendships. So I humbly accept this award for whatever reason makes me 'kreativ'.
and passing it onto these 5 'kreativ's' :
You can accept this award and pass it on to five. Linking back to the person whom gave it to you. Happy Stitching and Blogging to all.

I had a list of 10 so I had to make some cuts. The first two picks would have been Lisa S. and Lillie L. but they already received this award. Sorry if I offend any one with my choices but here they are.

stitching and rescuies

Friday, July 18, 2008

Wow it took forever to get this one on here. I finally had to upload it to photo bucket and then put it on here. Nicky and I rescued these from Goodwill on 6-17-08. The cat will stay with me but I'm thinking of sending the other two to friends out of town.
The cool thing about this rescue was the fact that we paid .10 for each one. After we got to the car Nicky said " Mom we should have gotten more ". Kids can be funny at times.

Here is set two of my 4th of July ornament's.
GloryBee Liberty and Rainbow Gallery July" Star's Of Freedom" I personally like the Freedom one the best out of all that I have done so far.
Liberty was done on hand dyed fabric and Freedom was done on a brown fabric I had in my stash. Used Dmc Floss 930, 498 and B5200 on both.

QSW Bust

Thursday, June 05, 2008

Last weekend was my long weekend so I thought I would do an ornament. Well after about an hours stitching I realized this was not gonna be no ornament.This was started on Friday 5-30-08 and was supposed to be a QSW project. Guess I didn't look at the sizing to close because it took me four days to complete and there is still backstitching to do on this. That my QSW bust and I only finished it because I didn't want any more WIP's. Don't know if the backstitching will ever get done but I'm putting it away for now and moving on to Day 7 of the SMO SAL. Snow Ho Ho has been put aside for a few days and will be worked on again on my next long weekend.
This was a Freebie and here is the link to it.

Thanks for looking.

Lillie Sticks again..Thank you bunches. I had forgotten that she told me she was sending another Birthday gift. She sent BF some spices and this great bruise and pin cushion. Thank You so very much I love them.

Just my quick stitch weekend project. It's a SanMan ornament all finished up. This one was a fun stitch.

This morning I got a polymer clay bug and this is the result of it. A little froggie sitting on his Lilly pad looking at the ladybug and flowers of spring.

Last but not least this is my newest WIP. Day 9 for the SanMan originals group SAL. Not much done yet but not much stitching time this last few days.

SanMan Originals ( Ready Santa )
Completed on 2-04-08
Done on 14 count Aida
I did change the nose just a tinny bit. Just thought the heart would put a little Dawn spin on the project. This was a fast and fun stitch as I think it only took me about a week to finish. Next project will be an ornament for the ILCS contest.

First finsih of 2008

Sunday, January 13, 2008

My I present to my first finish of 2008 & my version of
SanMan Originals: Magic Hat
I hand dyed the fabric a dark blue and when I ironed it to set the paint it left little white lines. I left them as they added a little something to the fabric that way. I used the glass seed beads for the falling snow. I used one of them silky DMC flosses for the snow flakes. I don't know yet how I will finish it but one of my groups is doing a class on pinkeeps so maybe that's what it will turn into.

This was a freebie to SanMan Originals groupies and if you are not a member I highly recommend you become one. Now I have moved onto my first Halloween project of 2008

My progress as of today. Started this at about 2 pm on Saturday so this is two days work. This was a freebie and called Halloween Game Board. Don't think I'll be finishing this one any time soon. It's about 10 pages and 200 X 200 also being done on 14 count white Aida
Wanted to show you Mom's B-day gift though it's not quit done yet. Still have the back stitching to do and figure out what I wanna make with it. Most likely I will just frame it so she can hang it in her new house.Thank you Barb for the pattern. Mom will love it.
