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!
You have had a busy time of it, I’m sure! Weddings tend to take over, don’t they? Best of all, a new person in the family to stitch for! Yippee!

The wedding gift sampler is a beauty. Your finish is wonderful as are the WIPs you have on the go at the moment. I have the WTN chart too but not sure whether I can get around to stitching it this year. Are you stitching it as a sewing roll? I have seen people just stitch one pair of squirrels and make a pillow.
ReplyDeleteCongratulations to your son and DIL on the wedding. The piece you stitched is beautiful and lovely words to live by. Love the rustic frame too. e
ReplyDeleteThe Stacy Nash piece is stunning!! I just love that flower border!
Looking forward to seeing Harvest Moon done, I'm not familiar with that pattern. Happy stitching, Mary@stitchingfriendsforever
I cannot wait to see the wedding pictures, I bet it was a wonderful day. Beautiful stitching as always, looking forward to seeing what you'll be working on for Christmas :) Best wishes.
