Stuck at Home but Stitching 5 years, 10 months agoSo I have a question for everyone are you a one project at a time person or like me multiple projects on the go?
-
Somewhere in between. I have a gazillion projects in all stages from haven’t opened the pack yet, to fully kitted and ready to start, to partially stitched but was replaced by a new project, to almost finished or even totally finished but not yet mounted for framing. At this time, I’m trying a new system I described last week where I’m rotating…[Read more]

I usually have several projects going all the time. They are not all embroidery…..some are knitting, crochet, quilting (some of which include embroidery), EGA Chapter projects, and several embroidery projects in different or combined techniques. I also have several quilt tops waiting for quilting and binding. Then, I am also branching out…[Read more]
-
For me it is one main project at a time. I haven’t learned how to split my attention between several projects. I do have small travelling projects (but who’s going anywhere these days?). I like having all my threads/tools for a particular project out and available and it is always exciting thinking about “what’s next!”
-
Janet, how do you manage your rotational stitching with your Master Craftsman work? Is it part of your 3, or in addition to?
-
Jamie, way too many projects in the works:) I also practice a type of rotational stitching. I have easier projects that I stitch in the evening after work when I’m just looking for the relaxation of stitching. Other more challenging projects are saved for weekend/larger chunks of time.
-
Beth: They are #1 and #2 of the 3 projects currently in the rotation. The 3rd and 4th (I know, it’s only supposed to be 3) are the GCC (Barbara Seuss’ pink Temari balls) my chapter started before our world changed and Kim Sanders’ Peace from Set 4 of the National Outreach Project.
-
I usually have one larger project and any number of smaller ones going at the same time. Sometimes I just can’t focus on the large one and that is especially true during these strange times. I like Janet’s plan of a rotation. I may have to try that.
-
I usually have 3 or 4 projects going at a time. I rotate between easier ones, and I have 2 full coverage pictures in progress. One is a Mystic Stitch and one is a HAED quick stitch. This way I can keep a variety of projects available, depending on the mood I’m in.

Stuck at Home but Stitching 5 years, 10 months agoRight now I’m working on finishing up this old Erica Wilson kit that I bought on eBay. I mostly finished last summer but then stopped working on it so I could finish up some other projects. I’ve finally gotten back to it and this week I finished up the faces on the smaller foxes. Now all I have left are the flowers and grass, which I expect to…[Read more]

Really nice, Tim! What a lot of work there.
-
Beautiful work!
-
I’m making some progress on the grass and flowers. I’m hoping to finish it over the weekend.
-
Now it’s all done aside from using tweezers to pull out the last bits of tear-away stabilizer. out of the grass.
-
Tim, you should be very pleased with that!

Stuck at Home but Stitching 5 years, 10 months agoHello my invisible friends in the computer! Gah, can you believe this weird bad dream that we are living????
I have been working on a piece from Inspirations magazine for the very first time. I fell in love with this piece from issue 104, Carnation Tile by Fiona Hibbett. It is very art nouveau/arts and crafts style, which I love.
I started it in…[Read more]-

Stuck at Home but Stitching 5 years, 10 months agoHave been waiting years for time to get to Jane Nicholas’ tile works. Here’s my first (yes first!) work with gold threads.
-
Absolutely gorgeous.
-
Like you, I’ve been waiting a very long time to find the time to stitch a piece from one of Hazel Blomkamp’s books; maybe that piece needs to move up on my projects-on-the-waiting-list.
Your stitching does NOT look like a first-timer for gold-work! -
Thanks for the nice words! Last year I did Hazel’s owl from Crewel Creatures. It took forever, but turned out beautifully, and I’m very pleased. So … jump in! Hazel’s projects are very fun.
-
Cynthia – it is absolutely gorgeous! Definitely not first timer looking! You are encouraging me to return to some Jane pieces that I have in process.
-
Thanks, Beth! I’m gong to continue working more pieces from this book of Jane’s (her Stumpwork & Goldwork inspired by Turkish, Syrian & Persian Tiles). Luckily I stocked up on supplies to do a few more of these.

I am also doing a re-make of Trish Burr’s “Spartan” Iris from her Color Confidence book. This is a very dark iris and the stitching outline was confusing as to differentiating the…[Read more]

Stuck at Home but Stitching 5 years, 10 months agoThis is a picture of the second sleeve. If you can envision the shape of a sleeve pattern that’s the reason for the cap having only two blocks. The sides will be shaped and some of the blocks will be trimmed which is why not all of the windows have been filled with embroidery.

Abby: This is glorious! I have always wanted to make a quilt-wall hanging using cathedral squares, but your idea beats everything I thought of! I cannot wait to see more photos. Janet

Hi Janet, So nice to hear from you. I had always wanted to make a quilt with the cathedral window squares and when I visited Lancaster last year during Quilt Fest I saw all of the Amish interpretations using muslin and white fabrics. I went shop hopping and fell in love with the blue on blue fabric which was in two 5 yard cuts. I bought both. I…[Read more]

Abby – your pieces are amazing! I tried a cathedral window pattern years ago. Not at all as exquisite as yours.
