Hearts

I've stitched a couple of hearts as you can see. The little one at the top is only about 3.5" across. The other one was a mistake, but I decided to go ahead and stitch it anyway. The canvas is too white and a little flimsy. I'll probably send these to Hearts for Hospice. I am in home hospice after all. They are certainly not up to my old standards. But then hardly anything is these days!

Serenity Finished

I finished Serenity by Kathy Ree

se 2 weeks ago. For some reason Blog will not load the picture from my iPad. Anyway, it turned out pretty--very soft and soothing. Next time I get on the real computer I'll see if I can add the photo!

Serenity, by kathy Rees

I know I'm late to the game, but I have started stitching Serenity by Kathy Rees, along with many other Stitcher's. This was gifted to me.  I only changed one color!  It's a lovely design and the colors are very soft. Shouldn't take too long to work up. 

Quilt Block 1 from Debbee's Designs

I did stitch Debbie Rowley's free design. I used all stash, but not necessarily wisely!  The darkest diamonds are Neon Rays and it's a bit on the thin side for these waffles. And then the lighter diamonds next to them are in a pale Aqua Fyrewerks and it is sooo shiny it goes flat and was difficult to see while stitching. It actually shows up better in the photo than in real life!
I made lots of mistakes in this piece, but I'm not going to fix them. It just goes on the finished pile, probably forever!  But it's done now and helped to fill some hours during lockdown. Thank you Debbie!

COVID-19

This is the weirdest thing I've ever stitched.  It will be my COVID-19 piece. I actually started it before all this began. I wanted to combine several of the abstract coaster designs by Cresus into one and wasn't having any luck. I just couldn't make anything work. So I just kept stitching. Connecting lines, curvy mostly, my favorite colors of course. Tried out DMCs new grays. It became vaguely humanoid. It's not very big. On 18-count about 3-4". Anyway, I don't know what it is, but it's finished. I doubt if I'll do anything with it. No, I don't know why the red triangles are there or why they are positioned that way.

Geode Bargello

I tried to make a Bargello geode. It may have gotten away from me a bit. Ya think?  Not quite my usual tidy Bargello is it?  Well it is done and will go into a Sudberry House tray. Here it is pre-finishing:  if the recipient doesn't like it I will make another, more traditional Bargello for her.                                          Here it is in the tray

Sorry about this messy post. Blog does NOT like it when I post from my iPad!

Anniversary key rack

During these crazy times, I have been stitching to save what sanity I have left!  This is a key rack - there's a row of holes across the bottom for the hooks. The plaid is derived from the anniversary of the recipient. It was a satisfying stitch.
I know it's a little crooked, but it's good enough!
All pearl cotton.  (How have I acquired so much pearl cotton?!?)

I have another finished piece that I hope to get finalized in the next few days.
