Work In Progress Wednesday

The Quiltmaker - After removing the big section of miscounting, I am back on track. I am counting twice as I continue stitching this time.



New Start - Small Sashiko panels - I found the panels and variegated threads at Seria (100¥ store) and instantly had an idea of what I wanted to do with them. This is the first one.




New Start - Quilt Show Kit

Work In Progress Wednesday - Continuing with Summer One Thread Challenge

The projects below have all received at least one thread this week.  Some were hard to put down after only one thread.


New Start - Lizzie Kate freebie - chart found here.



The Apple Pin Cushion




The House - continuing with the yard.




Snow Days -This project is on 36 count linen with silk thread.



The Scarf - I did one purplish-blue thread where the scissors are pointing.



Cross Stitch and Buttons




Blackwork Sampler - I started the second line of the border, but unfortunately, I discovered a mistake in the first line. I will have to do some unstitching before I can continue.




The Virgin Queen's Pocket - Betsy Morgan.  I stitched one thread in the white area, where the scissors are pointing.




The Dogwood Afghan - scissors show stitched area.





Mt. Fuji Pouch

Work In Progress Wednesday - Trying Out One Thread a Week

I have many unfinished projects, some that have been neglected for many years.  I recently read on Leonore's blog about her one thread a day challenge. I'm going to try out my own Summer One Thread A Week Challenge.  (At least one thread).  We'll see how it works out. 


The apple pin cushion



The House - I added more green grass.



Snow Days - I stitched the blue where the scissors are pointing.



The Scarf - I added pale pink feather stitch where the scissors are pointing.




Blackwork Sampler - I worked on the border.



Cross Stitch and Buttons - more buttons.



The Virgin Queen's Pocket - Betsy Morgan.  The scissors are pointing to the needle page where I stitched.




The Dogwood Afghan - white thread where the scissors are pointing.




Mt. Fuji Applique Pouch - I added the flower.



Mini-Nine Patch Quilt progress



Quiltwork (Ruth Dilts design) - I started this quite a while ago and maybe only posted about it once.  When I pulled it out, I discovered a counting mistake and had to take half of it out, so next week, I hope to have added at least one thread.





So far, so good.  We'll see how the next week goes.
