Cross Stitch Projects

Midsummer sprigs by Posie gets Cozy,

and a completed Halloween sampler by The Prairie Schooler.

This is the first time that I washed my stitching after it was done. I like how it softened the fabric and the iron took care of the wrinkles. Now to get them both framed...

Wings Cowl

What a labor of love! But I adore this Wing Cowl.

The question remains about whether to block it - is is super-cozy as is and think that I will give it a trial run this winter without blocking. I adore the colors; far out of my comfort zone.

Co-worker socks

One of my colleagues is leaving our office to attend graduate school full time. I knit up these Eternal Spring socks for her in our school color: UW Badger red. They turned out great!

New Quilt (brown tones)

(ETA photo in February 2020)

I was so excited coming off the flannel quilt that I immediately got to cutting another quilt top, this time in brown batiks. Since I really struggle with selecting fabrics and patterns, but love to sew, quilt kits - and a good relationship with a local long-arm quilter - are what allow me to continue down the path of creating beautiful and functional pieces for our family.

This one is a discontinued boundless batiks kit from bluprint. I love the way it is coming together!
