Crochet

I crocheted this bedspread and curtains more than 20 years ago.  Since my friend wanted to see these, I took photos and posted on FB. I should have added this to my previous post but forgot. So I started
another post.

Having spent more than 2 years on finishing my Red Sampler, I decided to get it framed.  I took it to a near by frame shop and got it done.  I am pleased with how it turned out.  

Here is my latest finish. I stitched this on 32 ct linen with HDF limited edition variegated red.

It has beeen a while since I wrote last.  I have been stitching but have refrained from posting pictures.  One of the WIPs I have been working on is Bagatelle from Long Dog Designs.   After seeing a couple of finishes, I wanted to stitch it too and decided to stitch it in my favorite color red.  After some procastination, I ordered my fabric, chose my floss and started stitching it.  Now it is time for me to take a break from this and stitch something else.

Well,  instead of finishing one of my very many WIP's I ahve been working on recent weeks, I pulled a very old WIP and started working on it.  After seeing the finish o F, I had the insatiable urge to pull my WIP out.  I really had to look long and hard to unearth the WIP from where I had stashed it.  So for the past two weeks or so I have been working on this.

I will repeat my FB response again .  I feel that I live but once,.  If having a lot of WIP's keeps me going, then that is what I will do.  If some are amazed by the number of WIP's I have, so be it :)

I pulled Amy Mitten's Not for us Alone, and finished stitching Chapter 2 on Amy Mitten's Nor For Us Alone.    I have no idea if and when I will finish this.

Not a great picture, but then, I am lacking in that department as well  LOL

I finally finished a sampler I started back in 2012.  I have been working on this on and off for the past three years and  can say that I am glad I can finally say that I done with this.  I may go back  and  fill in some blank spaces.

 I started this with Martina Dy's Coat of Arms chart but then veered off and used some Long Dog sampler motifs as well as patterns available in Antique Pattern Library.  I also dug into my  stash of X stitch books

Well...  I have a finish.  After Sabine's enquiry on FB, I decided to pull the sampler out and finish it.  But, to my horror, I could not locate my conversion sheet.  I looked high and low and was glad when I finally located it.  I was not going to take a chance and decided to finish the sampler and I did it a few mintues ago.
