New Ukraine Canvases

It has been long enough that I've actually stitched the heart. I will start on the luggage tag soon, and it will go on Andreas' luggage most likely. Bought both of these at The French Knot in Fort Worth.

 

Sew Sampler September 2025

A jelly roll to make stuff with. Unfortunately, I have not gotten any real sewing done over the past year. I -thought- going into it that I would have Saturdays open. That has not happened. Plus an extended stay in the States. So my sewing machine languishes. I hope this changes after home leave.

 

Ukrainian Linens

Andreas bought these linens for me to decorate. I have yet to decide what I'm going to embroider on them.

 

Fabric Grab Bag

Picked this up in a quilt shop in Tennessee. Most of it's cut up into little squares and bars. It's all a light flannel that will be good for baby quilts.

 

A Bit of Michaels

I have become truly disappointed with Michaels. They've gotten dingy and they don't have a lot of embroidery supplies. Hobby Lobby seems to be much better in those aspects. While I was in one over last home leave, I picked up a few threads I needed and a few I did not.

 

a couple cozyblues

Two more cozyblue kits to start soon. 

 

Chatelaine Stash

I ordered this a year before I got it, but it's here. Time for me to start another Chatelaine. Maybe once I get home.

 

Texas Canvases

Time to start these. They've now been in my stash for nearly a year.

 

Ukrainian Sunflower Canvas

Bought this at The French Knot while on home leave. I need to start it.

 

July Sewscription

Bits of fabric and some clips! Not thrilled with the colors, as usual.

 

Ribbons from Hobby Lobby

Ribbons for finishing projects. I will probably have a hard time with finishing in 2026, though, as it looks like there will be at least two long term trips.

 

Quilting Stash

Picked up while in the US and time to quilt. If I can find the time. I've been working on finishing an old project at this point.

 

Little Nabber

For keeping beads in place on the go.

 

Stash from The French Knot

When I visit Fort Worth, I have to go to this place at least once. It's tradition. I bought a new kit. I've done a similar one before; this has different flowers.

 

Threads and Trims

Went to Michaels when in the States and picked up this. Kind of a sad haul, comparatively.

 

Another Sewscription

This one was from over the summer. Still a lot of orange. I don't know the fascination with orange. How about a color on the cool side of the spectrum?

 

Tea Towel Find

This is one of three tea towels I bought to embroider. They came from a quilt shop! 

 

May Sew Scription

Is there something about orange that makes it such a frequent color for these subscription boxes? I guess I need to make an orange quilt.

 

New Scissors

I received a set of the small pair in a subscription box. Loved them. So Andreas bought me another pair and the bigger ones too.

 

Needlework Buys

I bought a couple more kits this autumn. I've been wanting the fix kit for quite a while and it was back in stock.
