First Finish - 2017

First finish of 2017 - I Love MN

All of the Floss (Dinky Dyes and WDW), Pattern, and Evenweave came from my stash. The pattern is a Lindy Jane Design's Inc pattern from 1998 and I think I got it at least 10 years ago. I have one for Ohio too that I am stitching up as well. It is interesting that the pattern is stamped with Erica Michaels as well. Not sure the story behind that but I noted it in my journal for records.

I have also started "Happy Stitching" by Sue Hillis Designs - she is the designer attending my retreat next week :) Here is my progress pic thus far.

All in All a good stitching start to the year. I also haven't spent anything in 5 days so that is good as well.

Happy Stitching everyone

TUSAL and Stash additions

I am only a day late for my TUSAL update. Here is my ORT jar for this month only. (I plan on combining them later).

I have spent the time since my last post working on two projects:

Sidney - "The Penguin"

Where I left off on 2/28/2013

Progress as of 3/12/2013

I have also spent time working on the MOD Coasters. I found that the plastic is very flexible so cutting it into more manageable sizes made the stitching go much faster than when it was in a full 8.5X11 sheet.

Finally, I went to a LNS near my brother's home prior to watching my nephew for a little stash shopping. Little did I know it was there "Market Day" following the Nashville Market. There was so much to choose from but the picture of what I purchased can be found below.

I found 2 great Mirabilia patterns. The colors on these 2 were mazing. I also found some hand-dyed fabric and a few other things. I cannot wait to use it all.

All in all, it was a productive 2 weeks on the stitching front and a great shopping trip.
Happy stitching everyone!
