2015 Mini Projects

Here are a couple of my recent smaller finishes---first one is Bent Creek's Harvest Moon---with a few modifications



And the second one is from Stoney Creek magazine---likely to be a Christmas gift for my sister--love the fabric, it's a cloudy smoke grey mixed with white--28 count

Both are wonderful! Beautiful stitching!

Karen, great little ones beautifully stitched.

Love the night owl, it looks great on that fabric!

I'm working on a dice bag or a friend of mine. It will be made of black aida with a red lining. I'm stitching a large d20 (a d20 is a 20 sided polyhedral die) on the front. The opposite side will have words stitched onto it. I'm still deciding between "Dice of dubious results" or "That's how I roll"

Unfortunately, I forgot to take a progress picture.

I'm making a dice bag for myself too, it will have a monster that looks like this on the front



With the words "Beauty is in the eye of the Beholder" on the back (that type of monster is called a beholder)

[TheOtherDrew]

Sorry, double post.

That looks appropriate for Halloween! Looks awfully big for a mini project, but it is hard to envision size when there isn't anything to compare it to.

Ha! well, it will probably look a bit more like this, once I simplify it enough to fit on a dice bag.

First Christmas finish. An ornament I made for my friend who lost her house a week before Christmas last year. So I am replacing it because she really liked it. It's a fast stitch too

[rcperryls]

That is a beautiful and elegant ornament, Linda! I'm sure that will be much loved by your friend and help to make this a much happier holiday season for her.

Both the stitching and the gesture are beautiful. How is your friend doing?

She is doing good . She has her days when she is a bid low (she saw a fire truck on her street one day when coming home and had a bit of a panic attack until she realize they were just testing the fire hydrants in the area) but her new man in her life helps a lot. She just bought a new pom puppy from Russia, he is a gorgeous black and tan male and she is looking forward to start breeding her two girls when they are old enough.

Lovely things everyone has made - I enjoy the Christmas themed ones. Snowmen, owls & snowflakes are always very pretty. The skull must be awesome to stitch. Look forward to seeing photos of it when you start.

[Mabel Figworthy]

What a beautiful ornament, mauveme, and good to hear your friend is slowly getting on

[Squirrel]

Linda that is so beautiful, simple and elegant and what a lovely idea to replace the original which was lost in the fire.

[mauveme]

Another ornament done, a purple snowflake, may keep this one myself

[karen4bells]

Absolutely beautiful, Linda!! You always find the most beautiful designs and create magic with them!! I hope you do keep this one!!

[Mabel Figworthy]

That's gorgeous! Purple and gold is such an elegant combination.
