Another finish...............

Hello stitching friends.  I hope everyone had a great Valentine's Day.  Made it through the parties at school and then my husband and I will celebrate Valentine's Day around our anniversary, Feb. 27th.  That way it is one big celebration.

This weekend is the 3rd weekend of the month and it is the International Hermit and Stitch weekend.  I did not check in at Random Ramblings  blog, but I am stitching in spirit this weekend.

I did finish SB Tiny Flag.  I am a member at large with the Swan Sampler Guild out of Salt Lake City, Utah.  I have met some of these ladies when I went to the Attic and they are so sweet.  I hope someday that I will be able to go to one of the meetings or classes/retreats that they offer.   For the month of February they were going to stitch SB Tiny Flag.  I had the kit and decided to join them from afar.  I started this on the 7th and finished it up just a little while ago.  You could either frame it or make it into a pin cushion.  I decided to do the pincushion.  So this will go into the pile of finishings.


I have just been plugging away on ATS....I have finally reached the bottom.  So excited that I do see me getting this done by July.  This will be nice to get this BAP done and off my list.


I will be working on Alpine Garden from the DT next.  Hope to get this one done by the end of March.  I will save a picture for next time.

On a different note.  We have a farm and had to buy a tarp for the top of our stock trailer.  I noticed that when I was helping my husband tie it down he was doing some kind of knot.  As I watched him a little bit...I said "Hey"..........."you are doing hedabo".  He said what?  I said Hedabo.  He laughed and told me what kind of knot it was...I laughed and told him that in the stitching world that is known as Hedabo.  I even showed him one of my projects that had a hedabo loop for the closure.  He said yup that is it.  Here is my husband's "Hedabo" stitch.


My little Shadow (min. dachshund) has a friend out in blog land, Ms. Limo.  I always show Shadow Ms. Limo and she seems interested in getting to know Ms. Limo a little bit more.  I know Ms. Limo has not seen a picture of Shadow, so I will share one of her wanting to jump up on my lap and blog with me.  Merumo...to bad we did not live closer..we have a fabulous dog park for play dates.


Well take care everyone.  Thank you all for visiting.  On to some finishing for the rest of the weekend.

  1. Good to meet you Shadow! You look very cute and pretty :) Ms. Limo would love to have a play date with you someday!! Your mama's WIPs are looking nice, too. Oh, I sent a note to Jean at the Attic to see if she still has a room for one of the Merry's projects - I'm interested in the one she taught in Williamsburg last year. I'll find out about that tomorrow at Sampler Sunday ;)

  2. Ok, that is really cool about your DH doing a hedabo stitch to knot the tarp down. How funny is that? I love it! Your stitching is wonderful! Congrats on being all the way at the bottom of ATS. Wow! I need to get back to mine. Sigh. You will do fine with the Amy Mitten piece. It's less stitching than you think. I still need to do the backstitch and basting around the small pieces, but I might save that for when the finishing kit comes. Or at least until later.
