Stitch Stroll 798-799

 

I can post this finish now that it has been gifted……Gather Friends, a joint project between Jeanette Douglas and Plum Street Samplers. I stitched both designs and made the pincushion reversible. Stitched on a 32 ct mystery linen with GAST and DMC. 

I will have a few more finishes to share once they have been gifted. Stay tuned!

Thanks for stopping by and your "twisted threads" of friendship!

A Young Ladies Workbox...class at SNG in 2015. Started stitching in 2023 and finished in 2025. Stitched on 32 Ct Sandstone linen with a combo of Gloriana and NPS fibers, as supplied by Merry. The box is by Liberty Hill. The bag was an extra you could purchase at class. 

I used my maiden name since that was when I would have been going to school. It was stitched on with waste canvas.

Taking a Break.....

 Greetings my friends!!!

I have been doing a lot of soul searching recently and have decided to take a break from my blog. Things are getting challenging with my parents and we have a lot of tough decisions to make in the upcoming weeks/months. I am finding it hard to focus and keep up with the blog. Then it gets so long between posts, that it seems monumental to catch up. I hope you understand. I so enjoy sharing our mutual love of needlework and will try to keep up with your blogs as best I can. You all have my email and can chat with me if you'd like that way. 

Rest assured I will continue to stitch, as this is my sanity, helps me unwind and turn off the worrisome thoughts that float around my head about what's happening in our country right now. 

I will hope to be back at some point, but am leaving this open ended at this time. 

Thanks for all your support in my stitching journey...I wish you all the best!!!

Keep that needle in your hand and thanks for your "twisted threads" of friendship!

Fondly,

Stasi
