Ramblings of a Geeky Witch
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 […]
Every Monday, I’ll feature what I worked on for the past week (Monday to Sunday) to get the bit-by-bit progress shots on my pieces that I honestly think are fascinating. Sometimes those photos are the only proof to myself that I am making progress and that every single stitch counts. This week I’m adding in […]
Hello everyone! New Year, New Energy! Thank you for joining me on another crazy year of stitching on projects and making progress. I’m still amused that a little joke of a comment back in 2011 turned into this multi-year SAL. 🙂 I hope that your year is successful with your WIPs and that you enjoy […]
Kicking off Week One of my WIPGO year is The Colonial Sampler by Betsy Stinner. I adopted this project from the stash of my friend Sandy after she passed in 2017. I know that Sandy attended the class held by Betsy, but I don’t know when it was. The pattern does not have a copyright […]
This year I’m going to do a weekly series to re-introduce the majority of my current projects back onto the blog through a WIPGO post. I’ll be showing the finished photo and the status of it as of the night I post, and a little background on the project. By the end of the year […]
Before the Great Blog Reset of 2022 (a year ago today… sigh), I had an ongoing list of my Works in Progress (WIPs). Unfortunately any progress reports after 2019 were nerfed since nothing more recent was captured on the Wayback Machine. So… I’m starting from scratch. This will also be cross-copied to the WIP page […]
Another year gone, a new one starting… and I feel like so much time gets lost. I rarely make resolutions for the new year because I feel that by saying them out loud, I tend to jinx them. Instead, I’m making some intentions – and the overall theme is to to some serious self-seeking. For […]
