Stitch Group Sunday - A New Project

Four of us met Sunday and started a new project. First, here is progress on the last project. One person finished two green apple pincusions and two people are continuing to work on their pin cushions. If you are interested in making your own pincushion, you can find the chart here.

Our new project is drawn thread on gingham, as posted by Mary Corbett on her blog. Her blog is a wealth of information on all things stitching - with a lot of instructions and tutorials.

Here is the progress made by the end of our stitching session.  I will add my project to my WIPW report.

We finished our session with tea time. Sumo cookies were added after this picture was taken.

Work In Progress Wednesday - Summer One Thread a Week Challenge

The Summer One Thread a Week continues. More than one thread is good, but at least one thread in each project.

New Start - Lizzie Kate freebie.  This one is called Garden Patch and the free chart can be found here.

SnowDays - I stitched the three rows where the scissors are pointing.

Scarf - One pink thread in running stitch where the scissors are pointing.

Cross stitch and buttons - I've begun adding beads to the lower wing.

Dogwood afghan - a good deal of progress in all colors of thread this week.

Paisley purse - Deborah Forney 

Another dorset button, with the three not necessarily in the final positions.

Sneek sampler - small progress (just one thread in the abc area), but still progress.

Hardanger sampler - I filled in the little corner squares.

Bead Nutcracker - I added this project to the list and worked on the second leg and am very close to finishing this one.

Small progress is still progress. The summer challenge will continue in the week ahead.
