Thursday's Child

What a Day! What a Year! What a Decade! Dare I say, "What A Life!"?
I don't know that I could, factually, as I don't remember a good portion of it. :/

Well, Onward and Upward! :)

Here are some stragglers that I meant to post in September, along with all those deserts and such--they are almost in season again!

This was the first Arbor Day Exchange I sent to Lindsay. It never reached her, though a notice about a report being filed for its "theft" recently did. Wild!









This was a freebie that Anita stitched; I fell in love with not only it but the thread she used! I don't know how well it suited Arbor Day, but I was so happy to have an opportunity to stitch it!



Some fabric that I stashed a little while ago while shopping for "pastel" and "ecru" quilting prints to make a frayed circle quilt like the one Deb made a while back. lol--You can see how "Pastel" they are. :P



These are a little closer. ;) The pink-and-brown (shall we say blush-and-umber?) Toile de Jouy is an Easter fabric.

Next up is the replacement ornie for Lindsay--another design I had long wanted to stitch. By the time we were well-and-truly certain the first was gone, so was Arbor Day--Long Gone. So, I decided to just go-for-it and stitch a Christmas Ornament (in spirit and in truth) this time. I LOVE this ornament!







Happy Trails to you--
'til We meet again~

More Kindred Spirits, Cooking, and a Quilting Conundrum

I forgot the chart when away from the house, but was still able to stitch--thank you border! :D Usually, I pack EVERYTHING but the Needle. :) Out of season, but these steam-fried yams were so good! The recipe calls for a black sesame garnish, but I used fresh-grated nutmeg and cinnamon instead. I glugged in a little extra oil, and they did come out too oily! As the recipe says, it REALLY only needs one tablespoon. They won't get too oily if you do over-use as the potatoes are surprisingly non-porous. I took the good advice of Myra, Nancy and others and tried making a little sample bit of finished machine quilting. I think I really need some supplies such as gloves for grip and a slide-facilitating plate to put down around the plate. It'd be even better if I had a sewing table which puts the plate on the level of the whole table. I could only have one if it folds up, however, due to space constraints. I hope they make one, but have doubts due to the likelihood of ...

More Fox and Stash-clearing!~

I've been stitching on WiPs and also started stitching the model for my first Original Design, which will be a freebie when I get it finished! I am SO enjoying watching it take shape. Now, the progress pics! Decided to change the "B" on this one, but don't quite like it. I'm thinking of making it a darker color. Or should I just put my signature initial "B" and be done with it? And "November Windows" by Prairie Schooler (actually just "November"'s companion chart. I'm already almost out of the darkest color's skein for this one! The Fox! Tom needs a body--perhaps someone ate it! (actually the color I subbed--thinking it was only for the words--is way too dark so a plan B is in order.) Here's my finish of HE's Stitching Necessaire; I've had this one for a while, but still need to find the perfect finishing fabric. I know I need at least some felt for the pincushion, but I just don't...

Red & Green and Redbird Sampler(s)

Image
Here's an update on Redbird (Thanks to Jolene :). At some point, a Red Bird (It's a cardinal, right?) will appear. This is on the same piece of linen as Fox Forest, BTW. When unfolded, it's like they are opposing armies lining up for battle. I completely love stitching with the Juniper (is it CC or WDW; can't recall, sorry!) on this Meadowlark. It's pictured in a crocheted basket from Ikea, one of my 3 or 4 "Happy Places". Annemarie ID'ed it last time as being from their Hallowed Halls Showroom, and it is only my desire to finish Redbird this year that is restraining me from waxing long on their wonderfulness. :) Meanwhile, my enormous blog hasn't made it off the presses, but I want to go ahead and share my joy at the wonderful surprise I received late last week in the mail! Feast your eyes, Dear Reader, upon Rosewood Manor's Quaker Diamonds BeckySC hosted a GENEROUS giveaway of this amazing piece, I think, because she is enjoying her...
