Back to stitching. For this month, I wanted to make a try at capturing a little piece of the forest around here where I live. This time of year, it’s dark and wet and gray. But not in the trees. They are pines and fir trees, green all year. Then there is the moss. It’s […]

Last week I joined in TAST to try doing something with needle-woven picots. These are fun stitches, but I really haven’t used them in projects too many times. This whole little project is a little accident! Even the fabric was a painting experiment I never intended to use for a project. I was going to

My latest finish: I borrowed the center of the art exhibit project I have been working on (which is finished and shipped off!) to make this project. I thought it was a fun a design and I wanted to have it as a “memory” of the art project for my stack of crewel squares I

I am ahead this month! Actually it wasn’t planned, but I was working on this little project and since it was the same size as the others, I decided it could be my journal project. I started it out as something of a study in using different yarns to help add interesting textures and surfaces.

Here I am with this past month’s embroidery journal project! This project was inspired by the maple outside the living room window.

I’m surfacing again! The cross stitch projects are done for now, and I’m working on some new things. One of them is something I started many months ago. I ran into some road blocks because my idea for how to assemble it didn’t work, so I needed a little time to figure it out. Or

Hi all, My embroidery journal project is now complete! I wanted to do something different this month, something that would be a little challenge of a different sort. So I chose a door to a magical, walled forest. I had to figure out ways to make the walls so they had dimension, and the door

August has flown by. I think because I spent a greater portion of it digging around in a blueberry patch! I lost count of how many I collected, but it must have been upwards of around 50 liters. A new record! The freezer is bulging of berries. The picking stole time from everything else, pretty

Hi all, I am posting my July embroidery journal project today. It was a bit of an experiment! The idea of red stuck in my head. I wanted to do something with summer fruit. I ended up with currants, raspberries and cherries represented in this little project. I was a bit free with my interpretation

I used to sew quite a bit of clothing. I made all sorts of different garments, even a wedding dress for my sister. I am not sure what made me stop, maybe less time, and the outlets had decent quality for the price. Times have changed though. But first, my creation! I have sewn a
