A couple of finished projects...



So, I have been in a very stitchy mood lately. I get these moments of obsession where I want to finish lots of different projects. I love this small piece from Shakespeare's Peddler. It is so pretty!! And what a fast project. I finished it in one night. Now, I need to find just the right size basket to make it into a pincushion.


Raise the Roof Libertyville is a perfect summer project, don't you think? I had the first three pieces in my "To-Do" basket and started working on them about a week ago. I stopped by to visit with Theresa and do some shopping and was able to pick up the last part. I stitched on it yesterday evening and this morning. I just think it is so cute and love the buttons. I think my favorite part is the little motifs under the hill on the last panel. Great design, Theresa!!

Now, I have a few projects in my bag and hope to get one are two finished before the end of the month. I do want to start on the current Blackbird Designs yearly series with the houses. I found a piece of 28ct. Natural Linen in my stash last night that will be the perfect size. I may start this next month.

Thanks for stopping by. Have a great week and try to stay cool!!

The both look wonderful Jen. I just finished the JB pincushion too! It's always fun to have a smaller project because then you have a fast finish!

Congrats on your finishes, Jen! I hadn't seen Libertyville before. Definitely putting it on my Wish List!
