Ramblings of a Geeky Witch
I have two mega projects in my current WIP Pile. Both are among my “bucket list” stitching. One is And They Sinned by Exemplar Dames. The other is my only current in-progress Chatelaine, Deep Blue Sea – which was originally named “Mystery XV” when it was the yearly month-to-month release back in 2012. Anyone who […]
Back in 2017, I joined a Facebook group called Dear Rine Borduren. The owner of the group released a free mystery SAL week by week to fill a series of circles. The fill patterns alternated between geometric and animal designs, and the colors were completely up to the stitcher. At the same there wasn’t a […]
Week six of WIPGO leads me to one of my truly Big Ass Pieces (BAPs), The Fruits of Plenty by Modern Folk Embroidery. Aside from my Chatelaine, which is coming up later this month, Fruits is the most intense piece I currently have going. As far as stitching skill goes? It’s honestly an easy piece. […]
The rollercoaster that I’d mentioned in my January 16th post continued through last weekend, and so I’m now behind in updating what’s been going on in my stitchy life. Along with Carol’s passing, we had to say goodbye to the last of our original band of (pre-Max) cats, Noby, who crossed the Rainbow Bridge on […]
I started this entry but forgot to finish it… so backdating it to keep it in proper sequence. Whoops! February’s WIPGO numbers have been pulled, bringing four new pieces forward for my monthly focus. Two are more intense pieces, and two are lighter stitching… a very nice mix for the short month! First up for […]
Hello everyone! New Year’s Day was just last week, wasn’t it? This month went weirdly fast. I’d fallen into the rhythm of the last three years where months seemed to go both quickly and slowly at the same time – the Covid Time Paradox. But January went just… fast. Too fast, honestly. I hope that […]
My final project for January’s WIPGO numbers is Mute But Not Silent by Amy Mitten. I was introduced to the Tudor Rose Sampler Guild via this class Workshop in September 2021. It is not a reproduction sampler, but is designed in the style of Dutch Hindeloopen samplers from the 17th century. The threads are tudor […]
This week for WIPGO, I’m focused on one of my oldest WIPs – Apache Wedding Blessing, designed by Kooler Designs and published by Janlynn. This piece was chosen by my college friend and sorority sister, Ivanna, upon her wedding. We’re… now almost 20 years later and it’s still not quite done. (sigh) So the goal […]
The past seven days have been a heck of a rollercoaster here in Measi Land. I celebrated my 48th turn around the sun on Wednesday with a wonderfully relaxing day off. Then it quickly turned sad, as one of my Stitching Sisters of New England friends, Carol, passed away early Saturday morning. She was older […]
Week Two of WIPGO 2023 brings me to ABCs of Parenting by Lizzie Kate. This is the first of Lizzie Kate’s patterns that I’ve ever stitched, although I have a few of them in my stash. I love the style of LK’s patterns, although like many designers, I get a bit limited due to the […]
