Just Finished Stitching The Mitten From By The Bay

 I am in love with this design, I finished stitching it this afternoon, love By the bays designs, I hope Donna will do more mittens I will construct it tomorrow along with the Lindy Stitches Rabit.


I have many designs kitted up and hope I get them all done before spring


Michael bought his for me for Christmas a while back, I am not going to do a full coverage, I am going to stitch it on a blue fabric, I will be using an unknown fabric, found at retreat guild stash reallocation pile, it did come with fabric and threads with needle


I love this drum design


I am using unknown fabric type and the called for threads


I bought this little kit on the internet 

 I will have to insert photo of the kit later,

This is a free design from Primrose Cottage, it was last falls design, I do not think it is available any longer as a free design, I did buy the fabric kit to finish it off


I was going to start this last year but got into other things, I am using 32 count unknown fabric, and the called for threads


I have stitched some of the other pieces that go with this design, I will have to look for a basket similar to the one in the photo, I am using the called for threads but an unknown fabric, again another orphaned fabric from Retreat


This is such a pretty design, again an orphaned piece of fabric 


This is a design from Teresa Kogut's Patreon site, I have only picked the fabric out again an unknown fabric, I just need to get the threads put into the project bag


Another design from Tereas Patreon site, the fabric and some threads already in the project bag



I plan on stithing more Patriotic after spring has come, I am using some fabric I bought many years ago and using the called for threads


This is from a class I took at Minnesota Needlework Guild Retreat in 2024, it comes with everything you need to finish including the materials to make the box and top


I like stitching Christmas all year long, this is such a pretty design, I am using the called for fabric and threads


I plan on stitching this for my husband who loves anything about St. Pope John the second, I will have this going along with other projects, I just have to work on it when mike is not around, I am not  fan of having more than one project going at once just this one time I think I can handle it, his birthday is in August, it is a full kit 


This is another design from Teresas Patreon site, I have a snowman collection I put out after the Christmas decorations get put away


This is the fabric I will be using and the called for threads, I think they are so adorable


Well that it for now wish me luck on completing all or at least 99% of them by spring
Todays world is in such a mess with so much hatred, please Pray for peace and harmony

You certainly won't have time to get bored!! I love the Santa and reindeer design and am looking forward to seeing the roosters when you complete them.

Oh my goodness. You have a few intense projects chosen!! No doubt you will stitch them beautifully. Kogut charts have been so popular, easy to see why.

Seeing your post about the Olde Colonial basket design, made me decide to pull my chart out. I have tried in vain to find a basket the right size, but I have got a little wooden tray in my stash which is the perfect size (it's really quite small). Currently it's painted red, so I shall paint it a different colour and I'll start on the stitching just as soon as the current 2 projects are finished. Look forward to seeing your progress.

Wow! So many wonderful projects, Catherine! I can see I'm going to have to look into joining Teresa Kogut's Patreon :) Her charts are just the sweetest. Hope you have a stitch-filled weekend as the snow falls! ♥
