A Day of Stitching

 Wow is it Sunday already?! It sure is!  Happy Sunday y'all and welcome. 


Sweet Shelly gifted me  With Thy Needle and Threads "Sugar and Spice" .  I will finish the roof  icing today and then add in the gingerbread shingles.  Hmmm- a roof and windows before the walls- Yep, that's how we roll at my construction company. Hee! Hee! 
Thank you, Shelly. πŸ€—

The fabric gingerbread man was a gift from dear Patricia. I love this little fella. 

This week , I drew out the designs for Harvest Season  on 4 1/2" squares.   I shared these little doodles earlier this month. If you missed them, I invite you to click on the colored text and visit that post. 


First up was the acorn.  I had to shorten it a tad, but that was easy to do. 


The grandsons had a double header on Monday  so I was able to stitch the acorn using the backstitch in 2 shakes of a lamb's tail. I used DMC # 898. 


A little squirrel will next be on my agenda. 


Now onto the plans for the week. 

Did I Get'r Done... Well   -  Last Week's Goals were..
✅☑🌞1. Quilt on Scrapberries  . 
 I was able to quilt 3 more blocks this week. I will be sharing a update on Scrapberries this week.

🌞2.Work on Thanksgiving Mason jar

That's what is going on this Sunday in the holler. 
I would be thrilled to the gills if you would drop by this evening for a 2nd visit. I am going to share a Christmas ornament stitch. Here is a sneaky peek. 

Have a beautiful relaxing day, Sweetie Pies and ...

As always,

Happy Stitching and Quilting, y'all

    1. Happy happy Sunday, Darlene. I hope you are having a super day. It is bright and shiny here . Maybe I will sit outside and stitch on Harvest Season. I sure wish I was more tech savvy so I could help about the printing. Hmm I wonder if working with the scale would work. LOL, I wish I could speed through some of these projects and then go to the next. So much I want to do LOL. Have a beautiful day. Hugs.

  8. Your "To Do" list for the week is impressive. Considering everything you have going, don't be too hard on yourself if some things sit for a bit. Just enjoy whatever making that you do get to. I have Christmas ornaments in the works, too.

    1. Aww thank you so much for the words of encouragement, Ginny. I do need to learn to sit back and enjoy the whole process. Last night I was able to sit and work on another Christmas ornament while watching tv. It was nice and quiet. I was even able to finish it. I wish you a lovely day. BIg hugs.

  15. Love that gingerbread house you finishing up, the roof line is so delicate. Some weeks we don't get our list done, it's just life. Good luck with this week's list. You've got a lot going on with your stitching.

    1. I agree, Kate . The roof is so pretty, but a little tedious with the icing dripping. I had to be careful in counting. I did make a few boo boos but have faked it. LOL. Last week was a week with lots of errands; I am hoping this week will be a lot slower so I can work on quilting.
