Coffee Break

I need a coffee break.
So, I am taking one.  And meanwhile updating my blog.
I am exhausted. I have been trying to baste (using quilt spray) and re-position this quilt:

This is my “Bright Hopes” quilt that I copied from a children’s book (“The Quiltmaker’s Journey”).  I loved it from the first moment I saw it and [...]

Winter Wind

I am enjoying stitching this one!
I succumbed. I did participate in the Super Bowl sale. I ordered two more Prairie Schooler charts (Spring and Summer), because I am enjoying stitching this one so much. And I also got some black belfast linen to stitch my Ink Circles “Hanky Psanky” on.  The silks are in the [...]

Life doesn’t get any better than this.
Hubby took the kids to visit his dad on the way to a Boy Scout program…so that means I can soak in the tub with a good book for a WHOLE HOUR with no one hammering on the door, saying, “I gotta go now!!!” or yelling “Mom? where are [...]

The 40 ct. linen is lovely and soft, but a challenge for my eyes! I love the colors in this though (I purchased it as a kit). So, I just ordered myself a magnifying lamp (with 50% off coupon!) from [...]

I love this one! I am doing it all in hand-dyed fibers except one color (the Weeks’ Cidermill Brown).

Happy Stitching,
Theresa

New Projects

I found out something about myself. I love starting new things! I love picking out fabrics and threads to go with them. It is fun imagining the different looks with different backgrounds and fibers.
I also enjoy reading other people’s blogs and seeing photos of their finished pieces. There is so much creativity out there! It [...]

Fall Rain

It is raining today and promises to rain all weekend. I don’t mind rainy days, I think they are great days to stitch or work on quilts!
I have many projects started and need to make another WIP list, an updated one. I enjoy every project but haven’t been very good at finishing what I start. [...]

We are enjoying the crisp cool mornings and the lovely sunshiny fall days here! It is hard to believe summer has passed so quickly though.
I am working a lot on my Ann Grimshaw sampler. I will post an update picture soon! I love the Old Maid of the Forest color (Vikki’s silks) that I’m doing [...]

Cool and rainy

We had a windstorm last night….whew! It was strong. I wondered how the folks down in Houston and Galveston were doing.
Today is cold and rainy. Perfect stitching and dreaming day! Dreaming of all the projects yet-to-be-stitched, browsing other stitcher’s blogs for ideas, and wondering how to fit in more time in the day. But a [...]
