Totally-Useless-Stitch-Along!

O my word...Is it the new moon already?  I almost missed it.  Well here it is folks my TUSAL Pic for June.  


Very Close up Pic =D

 Camera battery was dying and I had to act FAST!  Happy Tuesday =)

Progress....

Good Morning Followers.  I'm happy to say I have been busy stitching lately =).  I'm keeping up with my By The Bay SAL.

Mystery Sampler Pt. 2

Lo and Behold I've also completed my June ESC House designed by Sunshine Stitches.  The house charts have not been released publicly yet, but check out her blog for new designs. 

I'm looking forward to a morning of stitching.  Might even start something new?  Or might work on a UFO?  Cant quite make up my mind yet!  The remainder of the weekend will be filled with extended family and celebrations of Life/Love and Memories.  Have a Happy Father's Day weekend. 

Finally something to Blog about

Hello Followers!  I hope you are all well.  Little League Baseball season is over!  Now I can get back to stitching. First here are a couple of finishes:

ESC April House Completed May 31

ESC May House Completed April 3

 To kick off the month of June Donna with By the Bay Click here has designed a Mystery SAL.  She's releasing a part each Friday.  Here's my part one.  Pic is not that great as it was storming and I didn't have good light.  My Aida is a Pearl Grey color.

 BTB Part 1

Thanks for stopping by.  I'd love it if you'd leave a comment!  I'm off to start  my June House.  Happy Stitching everybody =)

April Finish!

This was a freebie from Madame La-Fee called Its' Spring.  

It can be found here.  This square will be combined with others from Love Quilts for a precious little girl sometime in July. Yea me, I've way ahead of schedule =)!!!!!  So exciting. 

I'm working on completing my March House, so I can get started on April's.  My goal is to be caught up thur May by May 15th.  Trust me for me--that's lofty.  Hope everyone has a happy stitching weekend =)



Sorry for the wrinkles!



TUSAL + WIP

No I did not fall off the face of the earth.  Had every intention of stitching for myself in March, but hardly stitched @ all.  Did not have one finish the entire month =(.  I'm back at it again and almost finished with a Love Quilt square.  My TUSAL is below along with one of my WIP's.  



LQ in Progress



April TUSAL

Found a sale on floss today @ AC Moore 4/$1 so stocked up on a few I was missing.  I'm off to stitch and put the new floss onto bobbins.  Happy Stitching my friends.  Hope post again soon!

LEAP Day & A FINISH!

FINALLY!  I had such high hopes of showing this finish 2 weeks ago, but alas my blog title still holds true. 

It is centered, on the square I just got in close to take the pic.  Hope you all have a Happy LEAP DAY. 

I'm going to do something a little out of character for me.  I've decided that since March begins with the letter "M" it must mean I should stitch for ME all month.  I'm gonna treat myself and only stitch things I'm keeping.  No gifts, charity, swaps--just me.  I'm kinda excited 'bout giving it a try.  I have some UFO's that need my desperate attention and I have a Lizzy Kate purchased in October that I'm finally going to start!  I'll do my best to show my progess more consistently here.  Happy Stitching my friends.  May God Bless you all!
