Stitching

In the last few weeks, I have been managing to find some time to do some hand sewing. One project I am working on, is this one by Ella and Skysie:



I have slowly been finishing each of these pre-printed stitcheries. 6 are now finished and I only have 3 to go.
This is what I have done so far:





The stitcheries on the pattern are mainly in pink, brown and green, to match the colours used in the borders. I haven't decided what fabric to use for the borders, but there will probably be more colour, so I am doing these in the colours that appeal to me. The original also uses colour pencils to in-fill sections. I haven't decided whether to do that or not, as yet. If I do, it will only be small areas.
I also have to decide if this will be a wall hanging (not much wall space left in our house! lol) or a lap quilt.

What have you been working on as a longer term project?

  2. I enjoy seeing your stitcheries. Looks like you're using variegated thread too, right? I've got two stitcheries going, and one needs to be finished in the near future. It's a "Jungle Friends" birth sampler for grandson #3 who will be one in November. Also, I'm plugging away on the stitchery "Snowmen A to Zzzz" by Crabapple Hill. I'm up to the letter "J" so I surely won't finish this one by this winter! Long term. I'll say!

  3. Those stitcheries are so cute! All my projects seem like longterm projects these days. I just font seem to have much time to sew. I start a new job soon that is closer to home so hopefully I'll make some progress!
