Finish It Up Challenge - another one done!

Hey Everyone!

I've finished another item on my FIU list!  I listed pretty much everything I had set aside for my Etsy shop, XedStitches!  All I can say is, "Whew!".

I listed:

• 38 quilting patterns
• 18 quilting magazines
• 7 sewing patterns
• 8 quilting books
• 10 cross stitch magazines
• 5 cross stitch leaflets
• 6 cross stitch kits (including 2 Winnie the Pooh!)
• 1 rescued finished cross stitch piece (Hinzeit Mini Blocks, Fishing - framed!)

I'm tired now but glad I got it done!

Happy Stitching!

Another Finish It Up Challenge finish!

Just a few minutes ago, I finished Little Bee-Eater [retired] from HAED!  Here is the little guy:

I stitched this on some hand-dyed evenweave that I had from Silkweaver.  I'd had this piece for years and thought this would be the perfect combination.

I stitched this 1x1 on 28ct., full crosses.  In all the years I've stitched, this was the first chart I'd done that used DMC B5200.  Quite a bit of the branch is B5200.

Now I've got this scroll frame empty, I'm going to have a browse through my stash to see what will fit on this frame.  ;-)

My pattern is a .pdf version, so please don't ask for my "copy" - that would be illegal.

Happy Stitching!

Hello Everyone!   I hope you are all keeping warm or cool, whichever is preferred in your location!  Here it's been quite cold (for my location).  We are quite balmy compared to most of the country but it's proving difficult to keep our house warm.  Anything below 40° F (4° C) just proves how little insulation there is in our house.

I have been keeping busy.  Lately, that's involved sitting in front of the fire and working on my crocheted cardigan.  That's why it is finished!  This is one of my Finish It Up Challenge items.  My FIU list has been updated.

Here is my finished cardigan:

The pattern is from this leaflet:


Since I'm fairly tall, I did add an extra row of motifs to the bottom of the cardigan.  In the leaflet, this is pattern #5 - Medallion Motif Cardigan.
Happy Stitching!
