I’ve secured my Jingle Ball 2026 tickets and classes! Woo hoo! Now for a perfect Autumn weekend of Checkerboard stitching.

I am excited to be joining the #choosehappysal with @sullystitches_ and @nicholspohr.
I am completely going off the rails and using my own conversion of Au Ver a Soie 100/3 on 46 count Mason Linen Light Reticule. Thanks for getting this started.

I jumped right into Sampler September with needle flying. Since I’m so very single minded when I stitch, this month proves challenging for me. To see everyone post the grand list of the new starts and WIPS leaves me envious and a bit chagrined at my singular effort.

But then I become enraptured by the beauty that begins to emerge. I’m never settled until all the silks are on the linen and I can begin to see everything come to life.

My new start is The Checkerboard House Sampler Eliza Gagin 1842. I’m stitching her on Mason Linen Petticoat Dark 46 count with The Attic 100/3 silk conversion.

I had a recent finish. Something about this little sampler totally had me mesmerized and captivated. I couldn’t put her down.
Bittersweet I will not get to share her at the Imagination & Emotion retreat…. But God had other plans for me.
This little lady stretched me and my skills in so many ways. She’s not perfect! She has carried threads, miss counts, and knots in the back…. But she’s mine and I love her!

Is your stitching style vintage, modern or a little of both?

I do not know which is more exciting for me. The anticipation of walking into The Frame Shop to begin the selection to frame a piece I’ve spent weeks/months working on. Or, returning to see the finished product.
All I can say is I’m never disappointed.

The caliber of creativity and professionalism is unmatched. They have framed family portraits, senior portraits, wedding pictures and now my quiet little hobby. Every project is a piece of art.

The two newest pieces:

@teresakogut Lily’s chickens is another finish! I could not LOVE it on this fabric more. I stitched it on 40 count @masonlinens carpet bag medium light using all of the called for threads. Just look at these pinks and how they pop. 😍Looking forward to getting this one finished and displayed next year.

I have been led down Gingerbread Lane. It all started with Episode 88 with Katie Strachan and her start of the Stacy Nash Gingerbread Sewing Book. I loved her conversion and watched in amazement as she did so many variations on it. I quickly purchased Bijoux, Accentuate, Surfine, Gobelins, Miyuki bugle beads, etc.
Then I had to wait a full year for last years’ Jingle Ball to get the chart. And everything else Stacy Nash released.
Then who comes into the FlossTube world but Lisa and her gingerbread mania. Well, that put me into full blown Gingerbread Village! And every village needs trees! Well, now I need green linen. And newer houses! A Cape Cod Crosshatch and Single Family Sawtooth. More gingerbread looking linen.
I am set for my Christmas stitching this year. I can picture the vignette in my head.

This past weekend I picked up the perfect fabric for Summer Moon by @plumstreetsamplers The fabric is 36ct Petticoat Med-Light by @masonlinens. My goal before I put it aside is to work out to the outer right and bottom edge to cut away the rest of the fabric.

I have another finish. After the tumultuous journey of my last project , I knew I needed time to regroup and heal. And I needed almost instant gratification. So I picked another quick stitch to soothe a weary soul.

Brenda Gervais A Daily Reminder
Mason Linen Very Dark Button Box 40 Count
The Attic Silk Conversion

There is regeneration to my soul during the process of a good stitch. The rhythmic counting allows for conversations to occur with Our Lord. One stitch after another accompanied by “What do You need me to do? XXXXX How do You want me to respond? XXXXXX What is my mission? XXXXX What am I to learn? XXXX I don’t think I’m strong enough for this? XXXXX”

While my soul needs quiet; my hands need beauty.

Second finish in two days! This is Elizabeth Duff Kirton 1873 by @handsacrosstheseasamplers. Stitched on 40ct Antique Button linen by @masonlinens with Soie D’Alger silk floss. Trying to get things finished so I can liberate all the floss. 😁. #crossstitch

Since returning home, I have felt the need for peace and security. There is no better way to achieve both than quietly ensconced in a cozy spot armed with needle and silks.

I chose Brenda Gervais’ A Daily Reminder for its simple message. Be Good and Do Good. I don’t know why I was so late to this project. Everyone was stitching it a while ago. I’m certain the Lord knew this was the time for it.

I’m stitching it on Mason Linen 40 count Very Dark Button Box with The Attic silk conversion.
