Praurue Scholler - Prairie Year - January

Last Stitch:  10/08/2019

For: Me

I only have February, March, April, and May left to stitch of Prairie Year.  Although I now have November, December, and January to FFO.

I am currently stitching my first Plum Street Sampler and really loving it.   I think there will be more Plum Streets in my future.

I've had 3 stitching finishes in the last few weeks

I have enjoyed stitching each of theses but Thanksgiving is something I have fallen in love with.  I know it won't be framed for this year but you can bet it will hang somewhere in my house for Thanksgiving 2021.  I would love to have it framed by Jill Rensel but I can't justify spending that much money on something that will only hand one month a year.  I know that Carolyn from Just Cross Stitch in Limerick PA will frame it perfectly for me.

This is the last of the Christmas ornaments I have to do for this year.  No guarantee I won't stitch more Christmas ornaments.  This ornament is for a great-niece who lives in Spain.  She is getting married in October to a Spaniard.  Unfortunately the wedding is here in the states and not in Spain.  I was hoping for a trip to Spain.

Christmas in July SAL finish

I stitched this little pillow for 2 Christmas in July SALs.  It is stitched and finished.  Although finishing it turned out to be quite a challenge.  I had it all sewed together and when I went to turn it I discovered I had it sandwiched incorrectly.  Soooooo I had to tear it all apart and reassemble it.  I am kind of glad it happened because I think it would have been to big the first time.

Two Prairie Scholler Santas came home yesterday

I sent 2 Prairie Schooler Santas to Vonna Pfieffer,  The Twisted Stitcher, in January to have her finish them into little pillows.  They came home yesterday.  They are absolutely beautiful.

I know the one with the snowman is the 2018 yearly Santa but I don't know what year the other one is.  I could look it up but I am to lazy.  Vonna is a master at finishing.

I have been busy stitching Christmas ornaments.  I am working on a Lizzie Kate Our First Christmas for Emily and Carlos and then I have one more I would like to stitch.  Hopefully by the end of April I will be finished stitching 2019 Christmas ornaments.  Then I am going to concentrate on doing Spring and  fall smalls.

FFO - Lizzie Kate - June Stamp

Fully finished this yesterday.  It is for my ornament tree and the last monthly ornament I need to do.  Not all of them are Lizzie Kate.

U think I have found a new favorite fabric.  I just love stitching on Country French Café Mocha.

I am back to stitching on Christmas ornaments and I think I will continue stitching on them until I finish stitching as many as I need.

I Love You by The Chocolate Cat

Finished this yesterday afternoon before dinner.  Still don't know how I feel about it.  I took it to get framed this morning and Carolyn from Just Cross Stitch, in Limerick, PA said she liked it. Sorry I didn't press it until after I took the picture.  I have to say stitching with silk floss could be addicting if it didn't cost so much.

AAll 6 of my finished 2018 ornaments for "the kids"/

If you are wondering why 5 of them are Carolyn Manning Designs

and one is Little House of Needleworks  …. I didn't think

Kayla would like the Carolyn Manning designs and I figured she

would like LHN.  She doesn't seem the cutesy type to me.

I am almost finished LHN Farmhouse Christmas Grandpa's Truck for the 2econd time.  I am planning on making it into an ornament for my sister.  I only have a little more border to stitch and it will be finished.

Last Stitch:  03/01/2018

For:  Me

I have these 2 already to sew together.  All I have to do is get my sewing machine out.

I am now stitching on LHN Farmhouse Christmas "Little Red Barn". I have frogged the boarder 3 times, finally got it right last night.  Now I am waiting on the 2 flosses I ordered from 123Stitch.  They are lost in the mail.  They were suppose to be delivered on Monday but according to the tracking they are in limbo somewhere.  I guess I will start on a PS Santa.  Just have to figure out which one.  I am almost finished the stitching on a Carolyn Manning Snowman ornament but I need some Kernick metallic thread to finish it up so I need to order that.  I am having all sorts of problems with my stitching this week.
