365 stitch a long - day 120 - snowflake


Well I am back...lol... After taking some time off at Christmas and traveling to Martha Pullen in Orlando, I am back to stitching. What a great time I had and was so encouraged to keep stitching.

For todays stitch, I was trying for a snowflake. While there is no snow here today, it feels like it. This is actually a star stitch with extra crosses.

Keep stitching,
Janice

Season Greetings


Thank you for stitching along with me this year. I am still stitching but it is on other projects, Christmas gifts, new class projects. I hope to get back to my crazy patch soon. Today I wanted to share a vintage piece that just had to come home with me.

Keep stitching,
Janice

365 stitch a long - day 119 combo stitch


This time of year is sew busy. I am hoping you are finding a few moments to breath and stitch.
Todays stitch is a combo. Fast and easy. It takes longer to select colors and thread the needle...lol..

Keep stitching,

365 stitch a long - day 118 cloud stitch


Todays stitch is a woven stitch called the cloud stitch. Not sure why it is called this but it is used as a filler stitch also. Start with small straight stitches that are used as anchors. Weave your second thread through the anchors.

Keep stitching,

365 stitch a long - day 117 double zig zag chain


Saw this stitch and realized that we have stitched a single row before, but look at how 2 rows look. Just beautiful. Added a french knot to the center and call it done. Remember to go back into the same hole while making the chain stitch.

Keep stitching,
Janice
