Stitch Group Sunday

We met on Sunday and three stitchers had “show and tell” with their finished Hawaiian projects - two cushions and a wall hanging.

This one has a zipper back.

This one has a fold over flap.

The wall hanging has a sleeve on the back.

All three are fabulous. I think we will see the other cushion next time.

We started a new blackwork project - Box of Delights by designer Elizabeth Almond. I had already stitched this design and made it into a pillow, so I am starting a different Elizabeth Almond design.

First, everyone looked at the patterns and chose which designs. My finished pillow is on the end of the table.

Let the stitching begin!

Work In Progress Wednesday

I received this kogin coaster kit as a gift . The kit contains kogin fabric, kogin thread, backing fabric, batting, and instructions. I made nice progress in only one day. I always enjoy the even rows and repetition of kogin. I should do more of it.

The Hawaiian table cover is getting close to a finish. I still need to stitch the binding down on the back.

World Embroidery Day and Work In Progress Wednesday

Today is World Embroidery Day!

The initiative came from Skåne Sy-d, a local group of Broderiakademin, the SwedishEmbroiderer’s Guild. The first World Embroidery Day took place in Vismarlöv, 30th July 2011. The importance of embroidery must be made known and World Embroidery Day will spread around the world. Make 30th July a day filled with creativity for the sake of Peace, Freedom and Equality.

I stitch every day, but it’s good to have a day when people all over the world are stitching.

This week, I have another small Christmas piece ready for finishing.

A little progress on my Hawaiian piece.

Stitching is finished but needs to be finish finished

Stumpwork 

I think visiting this list from time to time is helpful.  It reminds me what I have that is still unfinished (and also how many things are still unfinished). I do sometimes finish things, but I also keep starting new projects. 

 

Here are some kits/projects I want to start this year.
