October has been a very busy month at our house but fortunately most of my stitching took place in the first week. It really is a relaxing therapy when one is stressed, lol!
I finished up my Stacy Nash Tribute to Summer. I took her idea and used my maternal grandparents' initials on it.
Following that I worked a bit on With Thy Needle & Thread Acorn Gathering Sewing Roll. Love those squirrels!
Then my stitching took a back seat to my son's wedding. I picked up my gift for them from the framer and was thrilled with the lovely job they had done on it. Chris and Violet loved it and displayed it with their guest book at the reception.
I'll post some wedding pics later this week.
Now that everything has somewhat calmed down I was free to make a new start. I chose The Primitive Needle Annie Hyssop's Harvest Moon. I've waited a long time to start work on this sweet stitch! Since Lisa's patterns are now out of print, it was difficult to find this one at a reasonable price. I'm stitching it on 32ct Weeks Dye Works Tin Roof using the called for floss.
It won't be long before I put this down and get started on some Christmas stitching. I've already started in on a small project for Violet for Christmas. See you soon!
It won't be long before fall is on its way out and you know what is right behind it! I can't believe that things have moved so quickly. We have been blessed with wonderful weather this fall. It seems it was the summer that wasn't! I had a few days of quiet before my son's wedding settled in so when I picked up my needle it was just following our Thanksgiving. I chose to stitch this piece as a reminder of our many blessings. This is Threadwork Primitives Give Thanks.
I haven't had the opportunity to finish it off yet but when I do I was thinking of mounting it on this board. What do you think? If it doesn't work out then I will do a small pillow finish.
A year has passed since Chris' wedding proposal in pumpkins.
Now we have been blessed to receive Violet into our family. I have a daughter-in-law!! Here is a sneak peek from the wedding. I'll post more pictures in a separate post next week. See you then!
There has been very little time over the last month for my stitching. I managed to finish this little small just a day before the deadline. This month's stitch is Pineberry Lane Old Black Cat & Friends #2.
I missed the deadline for posting last month's small. Actually I went to post it by the deadline but the link wasn't up yet and then I forgot to go back and add it later. So for those who haven't seen Old Black Cat & Friend #1 you can follow this link to see it.
I also realized that I 'd never posted a picture of my small stitch by Heartstring Samplery. It's called With My Needle and I finished this one at the end of our summer holiday in August.
See you next month!
