People's Choice - Rainbow

                           

 

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 Rainbow.  

I don't have ROYGBIV items, but I do have some things that are colorful that I will include for this post.

Little Toolie Tuesday

I really like Little Toolie Things - the "stitched" stitching accessories we all need.

 

This Longaberger Basket set was a one day Susan Greening Davis class I took in Raleigh, NC, USA. The needle pouch and scissors fob were part of the class.  I made up the pin keep and needle threader with leftovers from the kit.   

I think this needlekeeper is quite unique. It folds into a square and ties up with the ribbons.

We made pockets on the inside of the basket, with the names of the items stitched in cross stitch over one.

The basket is normally filled with all kinds of stitching necessities. It's easy to take along and holds quite a bit for being small. What are your favorite Little Toolie Things?

The People's Choice SAL - Autumnal Colors

Jo at Serendipidous Stitching is hosting a Stitch A Long the first Saturday of the month, with the topics chosen by her readers.  This month's topic is Autumnal Colors.

At first I thought I probably didn't have any autumn colors because I usually choose blue, but I was surprised to find I have a few things that can pass for the colors of autumn. I think they can anyway.

The Alphabet Club - E

(For the full story on what this is, check out The Alphabet Club.)

My Japanese “E” word is eigo, which means English (language). Here are a few stitched pieces with English words or alphabet letters I have done.

 

Check back on the first Saturday of next month for my “F” word. 

Pin Cushion Parade

 

MySister Made Me Do It blog is hosting a pin cushion link up and I’m joining in. 

The one on the left is the one I use the most. It’s so full of pins that it’s hard to tell that it is a cross stitch sampler. The alphabet is under all the yellow pins. I made it in 1996. The wheat pin cushion is one I made in 1997 and I think I made the bird biscornou in 2012.

 

This set was from a Susan Greening Davis weekend in Myrtle Beach.  She always has great projects for her get-aways.

 

This is a little mattress pin cushion in a fold over that also holds scissors, needles, and a tape measure.

 

These aren’t “cushions”, but hold pins so I consider them as the same thing as pin cushions.  I think they are even better than pin cushions because they are compact and can easily be carried along without getting stuck with the pins.  My favorite is the heart, made in 1996.

 

Join in or just take a look at the other pin cushions in the parade here.
