Making a Q snap change

The Mother is faster at stitching than I am at updating!

 

She also has been kitting away, you may see some interesting Chatelaine's in the near future!

 

Toiling Away

Here is the latest progress of the Mother's Halloween stitch, so much to fill in but who could complain when working with specialty threads?

 

Toil and Trouble

It is that time of year again where a chill creeps into the air and stitchers everywhere put needle and thread to Halloween inspired projects!

The Mother has been the only one of us three to stitch this year, but that does not mean the Crone and I have been idle! More on that to come...

She began a new project this evening, Toil and Trouble from Plum Street Samplers.

I am amazed at her progress in just one sitting!

Stashing not Stitching

Where has all the stitching gone? The Crone is finally on summer break and may pick up some UFOs in the near future and the mother is stitching away while on bed rest after breaking her ankle but has not posted. As for me, I continue to struggle with pain after my accident and have not been able to find a way back to the hobby I love. I remain ever hopeful, so in the meantime I stash!

Once retired, Gastlies has returned with a new line of quilting fabric. I am in so much trouble! I have signed up for a quilting class in September and cannot wait!

 

 

 

The crone was here for the weekend, celebrating 40 years of marriage! We did manage to get in some shopping at Stitcher's Paradise, The Christmas Goose (quilt shop) and a local bead store in between the numerous celebratory meals. I decided to bite the bullet and buy part one of the Sarah Sam Mystery Sampler (I have a strong aversion to patterns that come in parts, but could not resist this one!).  Along with the pattern I got cute crocheted pot holders ($2 each for all that work!) and a stuffed cat toy pattern (Gastlies cats for everyone!).

Time for a move

The mother has been able to return Damask Roses after the busy holiday season, and I could not be more excited about her progress!

Swimming Along

Yet another amazing project from the hands of The Mother. I still have stash envy!

Forgot and Found

Inspired by the Mother I began searching long forgotten nooks and crannies for projects and came upon a mystery box. Here is a sneak peek at what was inside...
