How Many? Part 7
How many stitch kits does one stitcher need?
My little toolies were all mixed up with all the different projects I have been working on. I decided to organize them and took pictures when I did.
This is my favorite and the one I use the most often. It holds lots of things and folds up quite nicely. I designed it and stitched it and love looking at it as much as using it.
How many stitch kits do you have? Do you have one that you designed, so that it is perfect for your own stitching needs?

I often use this kit, as it is easy to carry along. I made pockets and the basket closure, with matching needle holder, pin keep, scissor fob, and needle threader. The basket also holds other stitching supplies.
How many stitch kits do you have? Do you like having things that all match, or does that matter to you?

Monday Morning Star Count - Four Placemats
I'll have this week's temperature block next week! I do have hexagons to show - I made these four Japanese hexagon flower placemats to give as a gift. (I bought the placemats and appliqued the hexagons)

This trifold kit is one of my favorites, but it is more to look at than to use. It holds needles and scissors.
How many stitch kits do you have? Have you ever read The Secret Garden? I liked the book when I was young and still do. I recently listened to it on Audiobook.

This little fold up kit holds pins, needles, scissors, and some safety pins and buttons in the little pockets. This was a class I took at the Paducah Quilt Show one year. I thought I'd make more of these for gifts. Maybe I will some time.
How many stitch kits do you have? Have you made any little stitch kits as gifts or recieved any?

2017 Smalls Stitch A Long - August
This year I plan to stitch the calendar cats (free charts at Happiness is Cross Stitching). One small ornament per month, so this month is August. I will wait to finish them all at the same time in December so that they will be the same size and somehow coordinate.
I'm linking up with Heather, at Stitching Lotus, the hostess of this stitch a long.

Work In Progress Wednesday - Four Crazy Blocks
I added a little more to the blocks, then put them together. Next, I need to press the white kimono fabric around the blocks. I might add some more stitching. I haven't picked out the backing or binding fabric yet, but it's coming along.
