Stitching Blog

Well I worked on quite a bit the past few weeks.  I finished the Piggy Towel.  

I started a small kit - Stitchabears The Lucy Bear Collection #7639 My Tastes are simple by Dimensions.

  This was a quickie!

9 hours   and we’re done.  Placed in the hoop and ready for selling.

Thursday I began some new towels - these will have tomatoes on them. Here is a pic a few hours in-

My husband has been gone on a business trip the past few days, so I did not get too much stitching done. Strange the way that worked…..but I chose to read in the silence of the house instead of stitching.  What am I reading?  Well, I’ve got 3 books going at the same time. I’ve never before read like that. Usually I’m a 1 book kind of gal. But lately I’ve spread my genre-wings.  I’m reading a classic Rabalais- Gargantua & Pantagruel.  This was listed on the 1001 books you must read before you die list.  I’m making my way thru the list slowly!  I also finished Daughter of the Stars by Phyllis Whitney last night.  I just started Bad Heir Day by Wendy Holden. I’ll be trading that one in a PBS swap. 

PBS= PaperBackSwap - Swap your used paperback books with other club members. (referrer- dolver) If you sign up, please use me as your referrer. I don’t think we actually get anything—but I’d like to see my name show up in the top 50 Referrerals list!

My current project is a set of 3 Little Piggy Towels.  I begin with a blank towel

and start stitching the little piggies on

Almost done

Now I just have to outline (then stitch 2 more!)

Will add Completed Project picture here - Embroidered Dish Towels

I just finished this Beach Scene for a customer. 85 + 3/4 hours.  I was really on a roll with this one. Since it was winter, I’d curl up on the couch in front of the fire and stitch for hours! I swear I could hear the waves of the ocean!!!
