My last FFO for April

 I wish I had fully finished this earlier.  I finished the stitching of March 30th and then put it into too the to be fully finished pile and forgot about it until I decided it was time to start finishing my 2024 Christmas ornaments.  Took it out of the pile and finished it.  What was I waiting for?

My 2nd stitching finish for this week

 Actually, I finished the stitching on this before I finished PS March but so what.

Designer:  Grandma's Kringle's

Fabric:  16CT Summer Khaki
Floss:  DMC
1st Stitch:  04/20/2024 - Last Stitch: 04/18/2024
For:  While this is supposed to go in the to be gifted pile, I just may make this into a pillow for the green basket and keep it for myself.  I love it so much.

I'm on a roll - another stitching finish

Designer:  Prairie Schooler
Design:  March
Fabric:  18CT Lambswool
Floss:  Called for DMC
1st Stitch:  02/22/2024 - Last Stitch:  04/19/2024

Notes:  I need to find a finisher to make this into a flat fold like Vonna did for February.
Vonna is no longer accepting finishing projects due to health reasons.

 

I have another finish but it needs to be ironed before I take a picture.  Told you I was on a roll.  

I have an FFO

 

Designer:  JBW Designs
Design:  Christmas Ornament II - Joy Heart
Fabric:  16CT White
Floss:  Colour & Cotton Cardinal
   1st Stitch:  ?  Last Stitch:  03/20/52024
For:  Me?
Notes:  I saw a picture of this finishing on a Facebook page and really liked it.  So, I saved the picture and used it as my inspiration.  I think it came out pretty well.  

A Small Stitching Finish

Designer:  Thread Milk Designs
Design:  Statehood Splendor Series - California
Fabric:  18CT Silver Moon
Floss:  GAST Country Redwood
1st Stitch:  08/08/2024
Last Stitch:  04/14/2024
For:  Me
Notes:  Called for floss was a Valdani Silk.  I do not want to invest in silk for something I am going to make into little pillows so I thought Country Redwood would be appropriate for California.

Now I am going to order Indiana and start that one.  I have 4 more states I want to stitch, Indiana, Ohio, Oregon and Washington.  Then I will need to fully finish them into pillows.  That is going to be quite a job.  

Today I have been fully finishing a little Christmas ornament.  It should be done tomorrow.  I am trying something new.  I saw a picture of some finished ornaments on Facebook and I really liked them, so I saved the picture and am working from the picture to finish this little ornament.  If I like how it turns out I think I am going to finish this year's gift ornaments the same way.
