Tiny Needle Tuesday

 

Say hej då (goodbye) to the Swedish Folk stitching project. Its month is up and I'm not exactly feeling sad about it. There was a lot more ripping out than there was stitching this week.



Ditto for the Christmas Cactus. I'll see it again next January. I had to rip out and re-stitch the top in order to get those white motifs in the right place. There's more leaves than there were last week but none of them were drama free either.  I've got something new for spring on the way. Something easy. I hope. 



At least the applique work is behaving. I have 17/25 done now. Eight to go. 




Dear Jane is getting closer to being an actual block. I've got the two sections together and now I have to join them but I'm being a big sissy about it. It was a lot of work up to this point and my stitching juju has been off kilter this week. I think it will just sit in time out for a few more days.

    BOth of your cross stitch projects are so pretty. I really like the red and white. My cross-stitch is sitting on the dining room table mocking me. :-)
    Blessings,

    I'm sorry to see those two samplers go! They are both so pretty. If I put something away, it would stay away for years...not just months! LOL

    I'm looking forward to seeing the spring stitching! I really like this light and dark Dear Jane block; your corners look great.

    I adore Christmas Cactus. It gets prettier every time you show it!

    After doing counted crosstitch I am starting to think prestamped designs are the way to go:)

    The stitching is going beautifully. The quilting is looking good!

    I often try to do 'design elements' with my booboos but I've had my fair share of ripping out this week too!

    Love your projects! Your stitching sure looks nice to me, and your quilt is going to be beautiful. Ripping isn't fun, that's for sure!
