Caring Wings


Progress update on Caring Wings-Mirabilia. I am stitching on hand-dyed 28 ct.fabric. I love this material! It is soft and the colors are beautiful. I am stitching this for my youngest daughter. She picked out the angel and the material color.

Black Bear & Bear Paw Quilt




All the stitching is finished on the Black Bear and Bear Paw Quilt. Now I have to add the bead eyes, bee charms and heart buttons. This is the first bear in the Cross Country Stitching four bear series. The bear is stitched with wisper floss.

Started Christmas Stitching



I have started working on a Christmas project! I have several projects ready and I'm going to work on my Christmas stitching on Mondays along with other desperate stitchers. Right now, I am doing a really cute santa holding a Christmas tree on a towel. I also have Star of Wonder, All Hearts Warm at Christmas, and a Peace Dove with an American flag. I am gathering the materials I will need for these other 3 projects.

I get it!

I finally figured out how to add my stitching friends on the Link section! I see I still have an "edit me" on there but at least I know how to change it! I have been working on my bears this week. The wisper floss is fun. I do have to go back and add some more floss to the first part of the bear because I used a piece that was too long. My 'fuzzy' is kind of thin. I started with Austin's black bear. I should be able to finish him today. I still have to order all the charms and buttons for all three pieces. I think I will keep them until Christmas and put them under the tree. I bought some stitch bows and pages to hold my floss this week-end. Going to switch from the floss bobbins to the stitch bows. I have alot of crinkles in my floss when I get to the end. That can't be good. I also bought a needle threader. No instructions, not even a picture on the package. Did I have a problem figuring out how that thing worked? Yes! I said Yes! I had a problem! Even when I thought I had that little silver sucker figured out I still was wrong! Finally....I did get it! It does make threading the fuzzy floss much easier! lol
