Weekly Update

First, I would like to send my prayers to an online stitching friend's family and friends. Deborah Faris Bryant from Debbie's Cross Stitch blog passed away this week. Her blog was so much fun to read and watch her progress. She always had something great to say to my blog and we had fun watching each other's progress as well as many others. I never had the chance to met her in person, but felt like we were friends though our blogs and facebook. Rest in peace, Debbie.

I was able to make progress on several of my WIPs this past week. Life left me along after work each evening and I was able to stitch and stitch. I even finished another of my Redbird Designs.
Here are pictures of my progress on the WIPs.

Weekly Update

Hello from hot Texas. It is so hot here that it is good that we can stay inside and stitch.
I did spend last Sunday afternoon at Rusty Spurs Rodeo watching my granddaughter ride and compete. She is so much fun to watch even in the hot weather. It is hard to believe she is starting High School (9th grade) Monday. She will also start competing in the High School Rodeo competition. Looking forward to watching here.

After stitching on my Redbirds all last week and finishing it I am back at my rotation of projects. Redbirds is now at the framer and I am looking forward to getting back framed.

Here is my progress on WIPs I stitched on last week.

Finished Redbirds and weekly update

I did it after starting in Dec 2011 and finishing Redbirds August 2014. It is now on its way to the framer. I plan to enter it in our Fort Bend County TX fair the end of September. Enjoy seeing it finished as much as I enjoyed stitching it.

1.     Red Birds-Marie Barber-Just Cross Stitch Magazine Nov/Dec Issue 2011

I used the 28 count light mocha cashel linen from Zweigart and the DMC floss suggested.

Before my framer called that she was going on vacation and wanted to frame Redbirds, I did put a few stitches in a couple of others pieces.
