I did finish one little cross stitch months after starting it. Holiday Surprises by The Trilogy.
I just made a little pillow. Nothing exciting. I did make a couple changes to the pattern. I used a couple buttons that look like presents. The toys that were meant to be stitched there were sort of creepy looking. I suspect it was only because they were so tiny.
I also finished May's A Year in Chalk. These are such a struggle but I'm plodding along.
As I mentioned previously...I made a bunch of table runners from border fabrics. They're all just made by cutting identical lengths then sub-cutting using a 60' triangle.
They all need their bindings stitched down.
I think this is my favorite.
On the quilting front...I was working away on another WIP I finally assembled this past spring when I ran out of thread.
So, another project drops into limbo-land. I've ordered thread but may not get back to work until after July 4th.
We will have a very busy holiday weekend as we move The Boy Wonder into his apartment.
Exciting times.
Pam
Oh yes, exciting times!
ReplyDeleteA sweet pillow. I love the chalk series.
I chuckled when I read about the "creepy looking" toys, Pam--I have a couple of the old PS Santas that had some charted, too!
ReplyDeleteGreat finish and hang in there with the chalk pieces--it will be nice to have them for the full year.
Good luck with the big move this weekend--I know he'll be glad for a woman's touch!
