Show and Tell

Today, there was actually LIGHT in NY. Lately, it's been rather grey and gloomy, so my picture taking opportunities have been almost non-existant. So, I decided to take advantage of the light and snap some of my previous finishes and a couple of UFO's that I put away.

The finishes are from 1999-2005. I can honestly say that I haven't finished anything for myself in 2005 since the Spring. The last finish I had was Hillside Samplings, Button Sheep. The other finishes were exchange pieces.



Drawn Thread:

ABC Sampler


Random Thoughts. I changed the verse to one of my favorite Psalms.


A Christmas piece:


A Drawn Thread oop:


Shepherd Bush:
A Christmas piece:


A Halloween piece that's got to be at least 10 years old. I need to sew the buttons on and make it into a wall hanging. Didn't I say I have finishing anxiety?


And a Prairie Schooler WIP that's as old as dirt.

Prairie Village:


There are more Drawn Thread and I will have to take pictures of my active Wips over the weekend when I have adequate lighting. I hope you liked my show and tell.

I have several of these and need to pull them out and stitch them-seeing yours put a BEE in my bonnet :) LOL!
Congratulations!

Oh Joanie, your work is exquisite! I love your taste. All your pieces are lovely!

Hello Joanie:

I love your pictures! I have Pumpkin Stew stitched, too, and hang it every Halloween. Thanks for sharing your stitching.

Take care, Nancy

Thanks for sharing these pics. You've stitched some lovely pieces.

Seeing this reminds me that I really must stitch Random Thoughts. It has been sitting in my stash since it was first released, and I have yet to touch it.

I agree! You have great taste. I am a Drawn Thread and Prairie Schooler fan too. Great pieces!
I suppose I should finish one of the three Drawn Thread wips I have neglected.
