I have been doing some stashing in recent weeks that I thought I would share.
First, is Quakers and Quilts by Rosewood Manor. I have been wanting this design since it first came out. I finally ordered it and the little balls of Valdani floss that go with it. I think I am going to stitch this on one of my favorite fabrics, Silkweaver Purely Primitive.
A few other charts....Snow White Sampler by Willow Hill Samplings, The Simple Things by Blackbird Designs, and Oh Mother Dear by the Sampler Girl.
I found this cute design in Elizabeth's Garden Etsy Shop.
It is called My Cat's Quilt.
A few other "finds"...
mesh bags from Down Sunshine Lane
(she has great prices on these if you are in need of any...), some fabric from Hobby Lobby, and a magnifying stitch thing that I am not sure I will like, but could not turn down for the low clearanced price of $4.
And last, but not least, I am hoping to turn this into a very simple crocheted throw. I am just learning how to crochet, so I am not sure how it will turn out, but I love this soft colorful cotton yarn. :)
Not much happening on the stitching front so far this weekend as I have been doing more crocheting than cross stitching. I did start a little LHN Saltbox thread pack that I hope to finish up this weekend. I will post pictures when I have it finished as it isn't much to look at right now. I also pulled out some WIPs that haven't seen the light of day for a very long time that I would like to put a few strands in before relegating them back to the WIP pile. I will share those as I work on them too.
Hope you are having a great weekend wherever you may be. It is a sunny mild 77 degrees here today....very unusual for June in Kentucky, but I am not complaining. :)
Happy Stitching,
Kellie
Lovely stash! Don't you just love those perfect little Valdani balls of thread? I've seen it stitched IRL and just loved it.
ReplyDeleteI like the crochet yarn as well. I have never had any luck at teaching myself to crochet decently. I can knit--mostly self-taught--and of course needlework and sew, but something just doesn't click in the crochet department.
What lovely stashing!! You have great taste in projects. :)
ReplyDeleteI'll enjoy watching your crochet progress. I learned a few years ago & have already forgotten... but would love to do it again at some point. I never got the hang of making it easy, I think because I'm right handed & my teacher was left handed, but I dream of beautiful afghans draped casually over my sofa. ;)
Great stash!I saw a box of Valdani balls of thread in a quilt store but thought they were used for quilting. I'd love to see your stitching with these threads.
ReplyDeleteCatching up on your posts, the BBD Blessings is great. I have had it kitted but haven't gotten around to it! And I have read all of Cecelia Ahern's books and really enjoy them too.
Those Valdani threads look absolutely gorgeous. I think you crocheted piece will look wonderful with those yarns. And great stash. Looks like you're going to be busy for a long time - that's a good thing!
