New WIP

Well, now that I've finished the Rune Sampler, one of my UFOs is now a WIP. The project getting my attention now is Wild Menagerie. Here is a current picture:

The reason that it's sideways, is because that's how I'm stitching it. The material wouldn't fit horizontally on any of my scroll frames, so I rotated the fabric and the pattern 90°.

You can't see it because it's wrapped around the top scroll frame, but I have the tiger completely done. As you can see, I'm making good progress on the lion. The confetti stitching at the bottom of the photo will eventually be a leopard.

Happy Stitching!

Rune Sampler finished!

Yeah!! I finished the Rune Sampler on Wednesday night. Here's a picture:

I've already picked out the mat that I'm going to use when I frame it. Now I'm just waiting for some frame samples to arrive so that I can pick out the perfect frame.

This project was started on 1-1-2010, so it took me 8 months to stitch. There were other projects that I worked on since the first of the year, so really, not a long time to do this one.

Happy Stitching!

Rune Sampler progress

Well, I have managed to do some cross stitching between working on quilts. Here is my latest progress picture for the Rune Sampler.




Hopefully, I can get this done in time to enter in this year's county fair! I guess I'd better get to stitching on it more!

Happy Stitching!

Another Quilt Top

The quilting bug has bitten me hard! Lately, all I've wanted to do is work on quilts.

Linda from the Stashbuilders yahoo group, posted a photo of her One Block Wonder quilt to that list and it inspired me to try one myself. I just finished adding the borders last night.

Here's the fabric I used:

and here is the quilt top:

I may appliqué some of the original fabric onto the borders. I haven't made up my mind yet. I know that as soon as I get a little extra money, I'm going to have to rent time on a quilting machine...the finished tops are literally piling up! This one makes six that need to be quilted!

Happy Stitching!

Latest Quilt Top

I was trying to make a dent in the number of 2" squares that I have - this quilt top is the result. The pattern was inspired by a scrap quilt that I saw on Quiltville. The only problem is that the tub the squares are stored in doesn't appear to have less squares than before! I really don't know how I ended up with all these 2" squares but I guess I'm going to have to find another pattern to use up more of them.

Happy Stitching!!

Baby afghan

Here's a pic of the latest baby afghan I've made. The parents already know they are having a boy, so I used blue yarn. The pattern is from The Best of Terry Kimbrough's Baby Afghans, Leisure Arts.

Happy Stitching!!

Rune Sampler update

Here are a couple of photos of my progress on my Rune Sampler.

This is the completed top half before I rolled the fabric to start working on the bottom half.

Here is my progress on the bottom half. I'm really hoping to get this done in time to show in our local fair in August.

Happy Stitching!!
