25 Motif Challenge

I got a bit lucky this month - I was able to find a complete year of Workbasket magazines from 1954 (in fairly good condition) on EBay for about $1 an issue. I almost fell out of my chair when I got them, as the original subscription lable was still on them, and the lady lived in my hometown in my part of the country mail route. I was totally amazed, after all, how often does something like that happen?

This is a bit of a non-traditional snowflake. I am trying to use up my odd-ball threads before I go out and buy all the new ones I want! lol

25 Motif Challenge

Well, I've decided since I'm going to be doing a lot of tatting from some new books I've bought and working on projects for the fair next fall that I might as well re-join the challenge. I'm also trying to use up a LOT of unknown brand and sometimes unknown size threads I inherited, so who knows what may wind up here.

New Embroidery

Sorry for not posting much recently. I've been feeling poorly due to some medication I've been taking for a health problem I'm fighting.

Pardon the poor quality photo, but this is the best I could get. I recently finished this embroidery piece and just got it hooped the other day. The design is by Andrea Zuill at http://zuill.us/andreablog/ . I used a variety of stitches to set it off. I used split stitch on the birds, stem stitch, lazy daisy, satin stitch, French knots, and fishbone stitch.

Stampin' for the Weekend Challenge #20

This week's challenge is a sketch. All the papers are digital scrapbooking papers, the flowers are by Tracey Lynn Miller.

Digital Tuesday Challenge
