March turtle trot

March! Eeek March already!

Anyway....on to my projects, I managed to work on 5 of them this month.

Dockside quilts before: (excuse the wrinkles)

After: all done!!

It's just about dry in this pic.  Still need to iron.

A whole lotta latte. FINISHED!  I decided not to stitch the words across the bottom. I rather like it without them. 

Still needs to be ironed. I was so excited to get it finished! It's been a UFO/WIP for a year. 

Before:

After!

Purple blue green butterfly before:

After: 

Winter queen before: (the fabric is not dirty, it's silver lining from polstitches)

After: I filled in some white and the darker pink on the bottom of her dress. 

Red before the beading and back stitching 

After. DONE!

Happy stitching!

A whole lotta notta

I had to put away the pattern for a whole lotta latte which can be found in my previous post here.   I think working on the black fabric gives me migraines.   So it's in my "one of these years days I'll finish that" bin.

I have a finish to show as previously posted! It's called happy camper and I think it's very fitting considering we bought a camper this year!  As soon as I laid eyes on the pattern I knew I had to do it! 

It's by "imaginating," and I ordered it from 123stitch.com. There are a few things I left out of the pattern. Sort of tweaked it to my liking. Also, it's supposed to have a green background but I didn't like all the green, so I just left a little in the foreground.  

Next is a little something "fun" I did to put in the camper.  It's a "just in case you forget" kinda thing. I thought it was cute hehehe. In case you don't get my sense of humor....it's on the bathroom counter.  My apologies about the poor lighting.

I have a little bit of progress to show on my dockside quilts.  Original post can be found here.

This is before:

And this is after.... approx 7-10 days of stitching:

Another one I am working on is called rocky point.  I don't work on this very often.  I love love love the pattern, but I only work on it in between projects or while I'm waiting for a new pattern to come. 

Happy stitching!

Thread therapy

Well I'm new to this blogging world. I would like to have a place where I can track and share my cross stitching progress. 

I would also love to be able to post frequently and keep the blog updated. I love reading other blogs.  Some of the stitching work is so beautiful! 

First I have to learn how this app works. Please be patient!

This is Dockside Quilts.
