My Sunday Stitchy Update 07/116/23

Hello, hello, hello! Here we are at Sunday once again. I hope that you have had a wonderful week. It has been pretty quiet around here which is perfect for me! 

This week I FINALLY finished the SAL! 

The Blackwork Stitch Along

Designers - Rhona and Eirinn Norrie

Tangled Threads and Things

First Stitch 01/19/23

Last Stitch 07/11/23

 

I had decided to stitch one of the borders that they provided but after I stitched two sides of this one I just couldn't get passed how the corners looked. Each corner is designed like this and I felt that the corners do not end in a "perfect" rounding so I ripped it out and made this simple border based on their border which I like much better. Now I need to find some fabric to make this into a pillow, so I will have to find some time to go thru my fabric stash to see what I have and get to the sewing machine.

Once I finished that it was time for my Christmas In July stitching. So I searched for a chart I liked and one that looked kind of simple. So over to Etsy I shall go! LOL  I found a bunch of ornaments but decided I wanted it to be all whole stitches so I could work them on plastic canvas - that makes for easy stitching and easier finishing! 

This is the design I decided on in the end.

Christmas Mini Ornaments

Shope By Maria

I think they are both cute and whimsical!

So this is my start on the Penguin, my first ornament.

So that is all for the week; one finish and one new start.

Thanks so much for stopping by to see what I am up to,

see you next week with another faithful update!
