New Start - I think this will be an ornament.

Friday Finish - Alphabet Sampler Wallet

I started this sampler as a travel project in August 2017. After finishing the little sampler in October of that year, it sat waiting to be finish-finished. Finally, I made it into a little wallet.

The red on blue Sashiko progress

I’m changing this sampler into a wallet. 

The sampler was a travel stitching project, but not finished into anything after the stitching was done.

Sneek Sampler -Still working on the left side, mistake still on the right side.

Bunny Afghan

Scarf 

I started a new project -  a miniature rug, and have been working on it quite a bit.  This is a Janet Granger kit.

Work In Progress Wednesday

I picked up this scarf project this week and put some new stitches in it. This was the first post in 2015. I think it was lost for a long time.

The afghan is coming along. It's starting to look like a couple of rabbits.

I made a little cross stitch. Another little freebie from this site.

After unstitching a lot, the Sneek Sampler still has a mistake on the right side. I unstitched quite a bit, but it still isn't right.  I decided to stitch on the left side until I can figure it out.

I did just a bit more on the mola fish.

The People's Choice - Traditional Samplers

 

Every month, on the first Saturday, Jo at Serendipidous Stitching hosts a Stitch A Long, with the topics chosen by her readers. This month's topic is traditional samplers. I have done some samplers, but maybe not so much in the traditional category.  Anyway, here's what I have this month.  

I stitched this reproduction type sampler with silk threads and finished it into a wallet.

I made this little sampler with Danish Flower Thread, but haven't finished it into anything yet.

The Puzzle Purse was a project when I was in the Carolina Sampler Guild.

This Summer Sampler Box and little toolies were designed by Denise Harrington Pratt and a class I took at an EGA seminar.

The pin cushion I use most is a little sampler.

I stitched these twelve sampler pears, which are available as free charts from Samplers and Santas.

The Sneek Sampler is a work in progress.

I like traditional samplers, but counting can be a challenge!

Counting Mistakes

Do you ever make mistakes when you are counting?  I do and it's a problem. I hate to unstitch.  When I discover I have made a mistake, I usually put the project away and work on something else.  

How do you handle mistakes?  Do you immediately correct them and continue stitching or do you do what I do, put it away and work on something else?  I'm curious and want to know.

Here are a few of my mistake projects.  My plan for the weekend is to try to find the mistake and unstitch the part that's wrong so I can enjoy working on the pieces again. We'll see how it goes.
