Kathie's WIPs

I have three WIPs right now: L*K's "Cross Stitcher in Residence", Sweetheart Tree's "Friendship", and Blue Ribbon Designs "Tiny Trees and Gifts for Thee". I have been working on Tiny Trees at my third Friday "Stitch 'til Midnight" and really made some progress on it. It's slow-going, but I'm enjoying it. I finally got enough of the grid stitched that I'm starting to allow myself to stitch some of the square designs. I stitch one length of floss on the grid and then one length of another color on something else. The other two will be PIFs when I finish. I have extra embellishment packs for the "Friendship" piece - they're $10.

I'll be working on these as much as I can over the next few weeks. The Tiny Trees piece is my current Christmas project for my year of Christmas stitching. I threw in the other two in order to have a couple quick pieces that I might actually finish soon.

Thanks for looking!

lots of WIP

I am back into a daily rotation so I stitched a little bit on each of the following.

Rocky Mountain Christmas-Marty Bell
Winter Queen - Mirabilia
The Cross Stitcher Christmas Angel
Twas The Night Before Christmas - Little Old me Designs
The Storyteller - Teresa Wentzler
Cross Country Stitching Quilt Sampler

I figured I will get at least 2 of these done in 2009.

Christmas WIP

I have been stitching Twas The Night Before Christmas by Little Old Me Designs. it is a SAL with Needleworkers Haven BB.

WIP Monday

I worked on the quilt sampler all week and all day Saturday, I am 1/4 done.

WIP Monday

This has been my WIP for some time and I take breaks here and there. This is the quilt sampler from Cross Country Stitching. It will be put away for a couple of days as I have an exchange to stitch up.

Quilt Sampler WIP

This is Love, Peace & Joy Quilt Sampler from June's issue of Cross Country Stitching. I will be stitching on this all week.

WIP Monday

I stitched on BYOB a few hours last week. I am hoping to finish it this week.

WIP Monday

yes, I know it is Tuesday but I didn't get a chance last night to post pics.
The top pic is TW The Storyteller and I stitch on that Friday nights. Then it is my Quick Stitch weekend LK Autumn Boxer , which is taking a little longer than I thought it would. And last is Glory Bee's BYOB. I am hoping to finish the LK tonight and then BYOB sometime soon lol.

In the Pumpkin Patch

I've been working on this bit by bit while waiting at the chiropractor (for Lizzie) and during youth group when AJ isn't driving. This is the time of year that I get a little more stitching time... the high school football season is almost over (we're in the playoffs this Friday). That means an end to constant picking up and running for practice for marching band (Lizzie) and football (AJ). Wrestling will start soon. Lizzie has signed up and AJ is contemplating it. That might mean MORE stitching time while waiting for practices to be over and while actually attending the wrestling matches. If AJ participates, they will be on separate teams since Lizzie is 8th grade and AJ is a junior.

I hope to get a lot more done before the end of the year!

Kathie's WIPs

Well, it's time for me to finally post a few WIP pics. I have three things that have not sat long enough to be UFOs yet. I'm working diligently on Boo! Eek! Hiss! in the three separate pieces after having stitched it as a single design earlier this year. I worked on it Saturday while riding the bus to North Hills for the first band festival of the evening. I had my mini-clip-on lamp with me and tried to do some stitching on the way from NH to Peters Township for the second festival, but the bumpiness of the bus ride made it nearly impossible. My age is catching up with me and I just can't see the evenweave on a moving bus in the dark! HMMPH! Anyhow, I also have a start on "In the Pumpkin Patch" by Blue Ribbon Designs and the Witches Sampler from Cross Stitch & Country Crafts magazine from goodness knows how long ago. I think they stopped publishing that mag at least 5-6 years ago! Karen, Jana, and Barb have contributed to this project--they each stitched a witch when we were in a RR together a long, long time ago - like 2006, ladies??? I remember only because I worked on the hedgehog that was Barb's piece while I was cooped up in the house in Virginia Beach while Hurricane Alberto dumped 8 inches of rain in less than 24 hours. So, anyhow, enough of my rambling. They're here. I think they speak for themselves. I don't think there's much progress on the witches sampler since the last time I posted it here.

I have been stitching on TW The Storyteller and am putting this in a day late :-) It is the only pic that I can show you as I have been stitching on exchanges and can't share them.
