Fun time in the Summer....

I'm happy to say that my injured back is nearly healed and I managed to finish up a few pieces.  I couldn't really stitch much on pain medication, but managed to fill my time sorting some ribbons.  I have also been doing some cleaning and sorting out items of my stamping stash.  Putting a few things on Ebay was also on my list, and last night did two listings.  So I have made much progress in the past two weeks.  Azzy's trip was delayed so I will miss seeing her this Sunday.  Now to the finished pieces.
My Patriotic Santa had to be my favorite piece of all.
Back fabric.


 My exchange fob which I finally found a charm I liked for the middle, a gold sparkle fabric for backing.



I finally finished my french Knotted rug with overdyed silk threads. It was so enjoyable I couldn't stop until I was finished.  I plan to have it framed with an oval mat.

 Close up of threads.
Now I finished my friend Mary's silk ribbon initial but I don't want to show it until she has seen it.   Next I am going to work on some old baby shoes that I purchased last year.  I have two pair and a lefty single.  Since I received my new stash of ribbon, I have plenty to work with for a long while.
Happy stitching, Kathy

  2. Your little Santa is looking really great, and wow what a wonderful JN finish. You found the perfect charm for the center. It's sometimes not easy to find something suitable, particularly when you can't go to a LNS and try something out.
    Very beautiful, your knotted rug. It must have been a lot of work.
