Stitch-n-Swap2 Ornament Exchange

Hello Everyone -

I have stitching exchange to share with you from the SNS2 Yahoo group.  We had to make an ornament for one person and receive from another.  Lots of fun.

Bent Creek Snow & a Swap

 I started it in January as part of the Crazy January Challenge and after putting it down for several months I picked it up and finished the stitching last night while watching an episode of Swamp People--first time I ever watched it and boy, what people are willing to do to make a living.  Oh, I am so happy to move to my pile of stitching finishes that just need to be assembled into something useful.  I think I will frame this one.  It is stitched on 14ct light blue Aida--not a very good photo.  I promised myself this year to use what I have in my stash and not buy any new material.  So far so good. 

If anyone is interested the pattern and would like to trade another pattern for it just drop me a note.  I am willing to trade for another Bent Creek, LHN, or JBW Designs just to name a few.   

Enjoy!!  Thanks for stopping by.

See ya!!

Crazy January Challenge 2011 - Project #1

I joined Minna's Crazy January Challenge to start 15 new projects the first 15 days of January.  My projects are listed in the sidebar and here is a  picture of my first project.  I am stitching an Alphabet Kitty letter Q to be made into a quilt that will be raffled to support the St Francis Animal Rescue Center in Rock Hill, SC.  It is stitched with DMC on 14ct white aida. This is just one of the many charity projects hosted by the Yahoo Group, Quilts for Older Children and Adults.

Happy 2011!!

See ya!!

Stitched Ornaments

Last week I mailed off two stitched ornament swaps that I had stitched up earlier in the year.  Both are fringed and backed with felt, I used Heat-n-Bond to fuse the aida, felt and ribbon together in a nice sandwich.

Speaking of stitching after perusing a few blogs last week I came across a stitching challenge on Jennifer's blog.  It is the Crazy January Challenge 2011 and it involves starting 15 new projects in the first 15 days of January--crazy is right.  So, of course, had to jump right in.  It's not like I don't have enough to do with a huband, three kids, and two dogs.  You can find more info about the challenge on Minna's blog so far over 130 have joined.  I figure this is a great way for me to get some of those small projects I have in my stash finished.  So here goes, wish me luck.

Happy Holidays!!


See ya!!
