Mary Queen of Scots

Sadie must always be a part of EVERYTHING.

Here is Mary Queen of Scots, all framed up. The design is by Papillion Creations (hers calls for one color of red. I used 3 plus a varigated Gloriana).

Peace progress

Wow! I've finished the center part in the monchrome and am starting on the border at the bottom. I'm loving the colors...

FINISHED!

Oooo! I did the final stitching on this 'lil thing yesterday. Of course its stuffed with LAVENDER so it smells EXTRA wonderful!

The Attic's donation item

We've decided!

We're going to stitch the most fabulous design for the donation. Its "Peace" by A Stitcher's Hand. Kind of re-done into smaller parts so it can be inserted into the Cici's Sewing Casket box.

Here's a pic of what I have so far (which doesn't look like much, but its taken me nearly a full week to get this much!) I thought it was to be black Assisi work, but the design calls for 3031 brown.

I am stitching it on 32 count over 1, so its itsy bitsy.

Thoughts from me...

I think it would be really wonderful if we could all send SOMETHING we make off to some organization or whatever that can do something with it to benefit others in some way.

There is a shop in a little tiny place in Oregon that collects hats that people knit (they hang them all around the ceiling all year round as they receive them). They send them off to somewhere to people that need them. (I'm not sure where)

One of the girls in my stitchery group, Stitchers by the Bay, suggested we send things to The Attic. http://www.atticneedlework.com/
They collect things throughout the year, take pictures and post them to a big mailing. People can all make bids on them (when they say). The proceeds all go to Breast Cancer Awareness. They raised 20k this past December. I am thinking that would be a nice something to do.

The Pagoda

I'm working on a project that Liz chose for the next EGA meeting. Here's what I have so far (of course I had to be so different and change almost everything about the design to make it "mine") lol

The center piece is just there in the center. Its really going to be stitched together in a neat shape and that will be the "roof." Maybe I will actually finish it and put a picture here for you to see! :)

a little needlebook

Here's a little needlebook I did recently. I have it all pinned and ready to finish up.
