It's me again, just 6 days after my last post!
So I like the ideas of choosing the color for the frame of my pretty Christmas card in the last post. Astrid sealed the deal noting the little bit of red in the artwork. I agree, a red frame would pull out the red on the candy cane. Thanks ladies!
I'll show you progress on Wicked Night. I think on the last post I said Wicked Ride but it's Night. Anyway, Mr Headless and his steed are taking shape...
Designed by The Primitive Hare. His arm is shown holding onto the rein, his shoulder and his leg on the other side of the horse. It's looking pretty good.
So last night after I got home from work, I took my plastic bin full of charts and went through them. That's a dangerous thing for me to do because I'm like oh I want to start that, I want to start this, and so on! At any rate, I found radar stitching as in on my radar to stitch.
Let's take a look at them. Picture heavy and click on the pics to see them better. First up is...
S.A.'s Steamer Trunk, from the 2022 Christmas/Winter issue of PNPS magazine. I have the trunk and the fabric and floss that came in the trunk from Theresa Venette. That might take 3 days of stitching. I would FFO that just like the model.
I'm a fan of Val's Stuff Halloween designs. I'm waiting on the GAST Old Purple Paint for the giant cat. Adorable!
Now here's a chart that I've never seen before. I would like to make this stocking for my daughter
for her birthday. I would have to send it out to be FFO'd by someone as I've never sewed a stocking together.
Next...
You might know of my love of all things Christmas Carol! I wished I had printed out this PDF in color. Someone in a FB group I'm in made this into a long sampler by moving over the bottom portion. I'm too chicken to do that! So stocking it will be!
Witch Home. It would take me 3 hours tops to stitch this. I should, then I'd have 3 finishes to show for Stitch from Stash, haha.
An old chart book, I want to stitch the top piece with the words but just the Believe. I'll stitch the scene with Santa with the trees and the elf and keep Believe directly below. It'll have a rounded top. I may use 32ct fabric because at full size it comes out to 4 5/8" x 11 3/8" on 32. It's cute!
And I have had this pattern since 2016! Love the colors used on this one.
I'm getting that Christmas stitching itch but for something bigger than an ornament. In 36ct, it works out to a little over 7" x 4". The designer has an Etsy shop.
From the Little Stitcher, another Legends for Halloween design. I stitched one other called the Banshee already. I have cube plans for these. I think she has 1 more Legends design. I'll have to go check it out.
I'll continue the others on the next post. My phone has been acting up lately; might be time for another!
Nothing much going on here. The tropical storm Hilary didn't do much of anything but left it soupy here. Imagine Bride of Frankenstein with her hair left loose, that's how I looked! Haha.
Time to get lunch going. Thanks for your comments, I always appreciate it. I'm off to read any new blog posts from us sticklers. I still enjoy blogging!
Take care, see you soon!










I love Victorian Christmas! Off to check out the shop--thanks sweetie!

So much fun to go through charts and pull out "what's next" love seeing what you are stitching and going to work on!
ReplyDeleteLooking through our stash is dangerous, isn't it, Shelly?! I always pull way too many projects and then never get to them being a pretty much monogamous stitcher :) You found some beauties--really love that Victorian Christmas chart! Glad the storm wasn't bad in your area--and yes, humidity is not welcome at all for our hair :) Happy September on Friday ♥
ReplyDeleteLove all the projects you highlighted! Did you start anything? WHY have I never seen that steamer trunk???
ReplyDeleteYay for the red frame!
ReplyDeleteNice progress on Wicked, could also be Wicket Night Ride!
Wow, you have so many great patterns to stitch, I'd find it hard to pick which one to start first. The Steamer Trunk is awesome!
Wicked is looking great! It’s always fun to go shopping in your own stash and very cost effective too!
