Name tag



I just finished stitching the name tag for an upcoming stitch get together in Sept on Quadra Island, which is across from Campbell River in Vancouver Island, B.C.


The design is stitched on 28ct evenweave with DMC threads. Since I have attended several conventions in the past, I took one of my old plastic name tag holder to insert the stitched name tag that I made.

Margaret Sherry's duck



I stitched this for the June Challenge. Stella told a story and the members were to guess by stitching one of Margaret Sherry's chart to match the story. I stitched the duck swimming.... the winner was "Lazy Day", which is Archie and a dog sitting in a lawn chair. It was a fun challenge!

Disney- "Let's Bounce"



I have one more character to stitch. Tigger on the top of Rabbit and Winnie the Pooh. It is stitched on 16ct aida. It is 6" by 20" in design. I am thinking of making it into a oblong tube with elastic on the bottom and a loop to hang it up. I will either put plastic bags from the grocery store to store it and use when needed or put my socks in and hang up in my RV. It will give me more space to put my clothes into drawer and this will keep all of my socks together in one tube.

"Africa Safari"



This is as far as I will go for now. I am switching over to another one of my stitching project to give my eyes a rest. I noticed that the designer of this chart forgot to include the letter "K" in this sampler. I may have to stitch the letter "K" but not sure where at this time.

"Tree of Stitches" SAL



Progress updated. Part 1 to 10 finished. I just finished the "Star Stitch" which is on the right side of the tree. It is hard to see each stitches when taking a photo of the full tree. There are 6 more different specialty stitches to learn and then the tree will be completed.
