During the week I was working also on 'Stitcher's Alphabet. I absolutely adore this project.
And this is how much I have done on 'Halloween House'.
Now I'm back to stitching!
So long my friends,

2012 WIPocalypse
I actually have a WIP update! About a year ago or so I started 'Thine is the trick and the treat' and for some reason I didn't look at it since... until Jo who can't think of a clever name of Serendipitous Stitching put a picture of the same chart on her blog. All of a sudden I've got the urge to stitch it again. But I have a problem. All my scroll frames and q-snaps are having projects on them and I promised myself that I will not buy any more of them. I have to finish the project and then I can put another one on. My 'Thine is the trick and the treat' was folded nicely and resting peacefully in a bag. I can't stitch in hand if is a nice soft linen and that project I'm stitching on a very soft linen. Now the urge to stitch is almost unbearable, it's painful - and no frames... Like a desperate addict I dived to the stash and - bingo! I found a few pairs of stretching bars with interlocking corners. So, I made my own frame, pinned the project to it and start stitching. What a relief! Here is the progress:

Beautiful projects. Love all of them. And what a neat idea for making a frame
ReplyDeleteDesperation is a great aid to creativity! Those are great projects Evalina, well done.
ReplyDeleteYou have made lots of great progress. Your projects are all pretty but I love that Halloween one!!!
ReplyDeleteThey're all looking great Evalina! I've been eyeing Thine is the Trick for quite some time as I really like the Quaker pieces.
ReplyDeleteI enjoy looking at your work. It reminds me so much of my mother's stitching, which was exquisite. I can visualize the first two from her hands. Thank you for sharing.
ReplyDeleteThe good thing is that you pulled Thine back out and making progress! We all have those pieces that get tossed to the side for a bit...mine is LHN Family Sampler, but it is coming out next month. You are making wonderful progress on your pieces...keep that needle flying!!
ReplyDeleteThank you for following my blog. I really like your "Thine is the Trick or Treat" glad you solved your frame problem and could bring it out of it's resting place.
ReplyDeleteHaha, I'm an enabler!! I can't wait to get started on mine but I must finish my RR piece then I'll be off!
ReplyDeleteI love the blue you're using for the Stitcher's Alphabet too.
Beautiful stitching! I love the colour floss you're using on Stitcher's Alphabet. It's going to be so pretty!
ReplyDeleteI love to see Halloween House progress! So glad you get to stitch on Thine is the Trick or the Treat without having to buy new Q-snaps!
ReplyDeleteAll of your pieces look great. I'm glad you were able to cobble together a frame, stitching goes so much faster when you are working on exactly what you want to work on!
ReplyDeleteKudos for your ingenuity. All your projects looks great, Evalina.
ReplyDeleteCongrats on finding a way around your problem. I agree with you, I love the Stitcher's Alphabet and I love the color of the floss!
