Today we finish the #autumnjubilee2020 Embroidered Mini quilt. When we left off two weeks ago, your assignment was to stitch out four designs of your choice from the available designs on your machine.

This month's block for the Teacups quilt along is an embroidered block. The quilt along is a mixed techniques one, so I am throwing in some handwork. This was mainly due to the complexity of the design I wanted for the sugar and creamer, more delicate and intricate. If you haven't joined us for this …
The Christmas Redwork project almost didn't get finished this season. It seemed like the days just flew by and I didn't get a lot of stitching done each week. Progress was made, but just not quickly. Last weekend, stitching resumed in earnest until the redwork was done. I wanted to add some beads to dress …
Getting back to my redwork project today, as it was put to the side for the entire month of October. I think I have enough time left to finish it for this year. When I last wrote about it, I had stopped here with the bottom section done, and the Santa started. Stitching on the …

More fun at the NC Mountain State Fair began with the crafting competitions. I worked so long on this set of crewel ornaments last fall, and was thrilled to find them hanging in the crafting competition area with a red second place ribbon. This was baby animals day, and we were lucky to get to …
Remember this little cross stitch Christmas tree that I showed you during Christmas in July? It is one of several designs in a kit. The problem I have at this point is I don't want to make it the way the pattern says. It calls for the stitched piece to be cut out in a …
How many of you have stitchery kits for Christmas laying around? Every year, if you are like me, you find them close to the season and realize, there is no way to finish them in time for that year, so you pack them away again. This is true for the cross stitch and needlework magazines …

It has been another month, and I just cannot find the time to get back to this project. I did do a little on it, but not much. The lure of warmer days and digging in the dirt is too strong right now, LOL! But a rainy day on Friday kept me inside, and I …
