Stitching Blogger's Question of the Day

I tried emailing this and it has not showed up yet so here is what I sent.

Today's "Stitching Blogger's Question" is:Do you "stitch with the seasons?" (This could be reflected by thecolors that you stitch with, the themes that you choose, or even thatduring your favorite season you stitch more (or less) than in others.)

Happy Stitching!Renée

Not on purpose but it just seems to end up that way. Especially with the plastic canvas stuff that I do it seems to be more so especially with magnets, tissue covers and coasters. Of course they work up very fast so you can get by with doing something at the last minute.

Well I have to get back to work so everyone have a great day!!!!

What is your next specialty stitch?
Not sure. But I have a WIP that is stamped embroidery that I got at a garage sale that uses Satin stitch, Outline Stitch, Filled Outline Stitch and a few french knots. The other WIP's that I am working on now are cross stitch 1 set of stamped pillow cases and 2 small ornament type items.

learning. This is the second picture. 

This is a test. The frogg I just finished for my daughter. The Teacher I did in 2001 for my daughter-in-law. 

It's April

Beautiful day. And I have spring fever. Don't want to do anything. Just been reading mail and working on the little frog for daughter. Will try to scan when done but don't know been having trouble with computer not wanting to recognize scanner or camera. Might have to do it Monday at work.
Enjoy this beautiful spring day.

The March 30 Stitching Blogger Question of the Week.

*****

Today's "Stitching Blogger's Question," is:

How has your stitching evolved since you first started stitching?

 

 

I have done stitching of some kind most of my life.  My grandmother taught me to embroidery when I was in grade school.  All stamped items but I did learn quite a few stitches then and the one main thing that always stuck with me was that she told me to always keep the back as neat as possible.  Over the years I did many different things crochet, fabric paint, tried knitting but just couldn't get into it preferred crochet.  Then about 18 years ago I got involved with plastic canvas stitching and have done that ever since.  Anyway my first cross stitch patterns were done on plastic canvas .  Now I am doing some on aida  and I have bought some patterns that I want to do.   When I finish the little frog that I am doing for my daughter I want to start some of the Dragon Dreams freebys.  Love the colorful dragons.

 

Have a great day!

"Stitching Blogger's Question," for March 23, 2005

What are your thoughts on craft and/or needlework shows? Have you beento one or are you planning on going to one this year?

Here the craft shows are not very big or they are in conjunction with a special event like "Cider Days" . I have never been to a needlework show. The last craft show I went to was before Christmas. Basically just finished items.
