IHSW and LHN Finish

I participated in my first ever hermit weekend.  I managed to stitch a bit more than usual since hubby had to work over the weekend. Another finished piece to check off my lists, CJC 2014 finish #6 and Little House Needleworks SAL finish #1. This will one day be an ornament for my Christmas tree.

CJC 2014 - Project #14 Cozy Inn

Another Little House Needleworks start for 2014. This is Cozy Inn form the Just Cross Stitch 2013 Christmas ornament magazine. I am truly hoping to have lots of handmade ornaments for my tree this year or at least for gifts. I have a new sewing machine so I have no excuses for not getting ornament completed this year.

CJC 2014 - Project #12 Silent Night

Here is start #12, Silent Night, a free design from Elizabeth Foster. I am sure I picked this up from a needle work shop because I cannot find it on the web.  I am stitching it on a scrap of blue over dyed aida from Enchanted Fabrics that is no longer in business. I always enjoyed getting fabric from EF, I was hoping she would start back up again after moving--she is a military wife so I imagine it hard to maintain a business when you have move often.

Sunbonnet Finished!!

My first finish of 2014, Sunbonnet that I stitched for the Quilts for Older Children and Adults Yahoo Group. This one was a finger killer, I have not stitched a such a solid piece in a long time. So happy to have her done on her way to Pennsylvania. To learn more about Q4OAC click here.  They operate on Yahoo and Facebook, I prefer the Yahoo Group.  Perhaps some of you would like to join us.

CJC 2014 - Project #7 2011 Santa

Last year this pattern was part of my CJC 2013 list along with another Santa. I was stitching it on Khaki Davos just like the picture on the card. Well, I ended pitching both of them into the bin. I absolutely did not like the Davos at all, the weave was too loose and my stitches slipped. So now here he is again in 2014, but on aida this time round. I am sure this one will not end up in the trash.

CJC 2014 - Project #6 Joy and Peace

Here is my 6th CJC 2014 start, even though I started this a while back I decided to add to my list. Recently I joined a Little House Needleworks SAL. I plan to stitch many LHN projects this year, I chose Joy and Peace first. This will make a great gift for someone's tree in December. Never to early to start thinking about Christmas.

CJC 2014 - Project #4 Sunbonnet

I decided to follow a few other in the CJC 2014 challenge and post a project that I have been working on for a few months. This one has never appeared on my blog or on my Turtle Trot list, just one of those projects I have been working on for Quilts fo Older Children and Adults called Sunbonnets. I have to have it sent to PA by the 14th. I will be spending lots of time with this piece over the next few days.
