JoannaG completed projects

Post by JoannaG »

I thought I would share my completed old projects. I can't seem to access my old phone which has the work in progress shots for these projects.

I used to travel for work for weeks at a time with lots of downtime. I took up stitching to fill the time.
I no longer have as much free time as I did when I started and have to squeeze in any stitching after work and on the weekends.

I started on the small Tree Frog Trio Kit - can't remember the date

Still haven't washed it....whoops :lol:

Lion and Hippo Sampler - completed march 2015

1 of 2 Flower Faeries - completed April 2015

2 of 2 Flower Faeries - started April 2015 - currently UFO or possibly just PhD status

Spot the error - a full thread and half into the 2nd faerie when I spotted this mistake! I haven't got much further than frogging this error and redoing it (with more mistakes). I don't mind making mistakes, although I like my reference points to be accurate.
When I shared this photo on facebook, my brother came back with the comment "Crtl Z"... :doh:

Wedding reception table numbers - May 2015

I also got shanghaied into stitching my sister's table numbers for her wedding reception.

Thankfully very simple font style on a 'hessian' style Aida. Double sided table numbers and I think there were 12 tables all together (30 individual numbers altogether). I found PCStitch and used the free demo version.
My father then glued them together and hid the join with rough cord, as well as drilled support holes at the base. Some of our friends liked the idea so much they did the same for their wedding later that year, they wrapped theirs with blue satin ribbon instead of the rough cord.

I then got a new job and stopped stitching for awhile.
Started my current project, Ballerina Dreams in April this year. I did have a break of a few months before starting back up again a few weeks ago.

Will post updates of my current WIP later.

note: If this is the incorrect section to post this, please let me know. Will happily move it.

Thank you.

The hippo sampler certainly wasn't something I would have picked out for myself! It came with variegated thread, and I also think it had blended threads. First time I encountered those.

This was before I knew about railroading or laying tools. The stitches ended up a bit twisted... doesn't matter though, cos anyone looking at the finished product doesn't know what the design called for!

Also, I misplaced the 'C' and almost hit the framing fronds :lol:

Those are all fantastic. Your work is beautiful and I love the diversity of the designs. And now I want to start my frog trio.
