I am so excited that I am actually finishing things. What a great idea this WIPocalypse has been for me.
My first finish
Point Loma Lighthouse by Stitchworks - a gift from my BFF
Just Nan's Summer Stroll - I was gifted this chart many years ago and can finally mark it off my list.
It was such a pretty stitch even with the 112 Algerian eyelets.
Not WIP related but another completed stitch.
This is a joint stitch with some other members of my Thursday stitching group. It will be a surprise gift for a friend. We were each to add something that represented us. Mine is from LHN - The Nutcracker. Isn't just too cute.
And this amazing gift from a friend. Don't you just love it!!! Thanks Barb.
That's it for this post. Off to read what everyone else has been up too. Till next time
Stay frog free and stitch happy.
These are all very cute, I especially love "Summer Stroll" I stitched that one many years ago when I was still using aida.
ReplyDeleteThank you so much for your support on the Mira board. Hugs.
You did a great job and i hope that your friend will like her gift.
ReplyDeleteHugs Yvon.
Great finishes! I have been to Point Loma Lighthouse. It is beautiful in person and in stitch!
ReplyDeleteCongrats on the finishes, Kathy! :) ( Love that cross stitch maniac ornie - I think I need one like that!)
ReplyDeleteVery beautiful pictures
ReplyDeletehave a good day

Lovely finishes Kathy. I really love the lighthouse and Just Nan.
ReplyDeleteLovely finishes!!
ReplyDelete112 Algerian eyelets? You are Iron Woman! It looks worth every single one, though. Gorgeous stitching on everything as usual. Love the ornament!
ReplyDeleteLovely finishes!
ReplyDeleteSome great prices there for your WIPocalypse, love the Just Nan piece and the lovely gift you received
ReplyDeleteMy oh my, you've been BUSY!! The Point Loma lighthouse is very nice, but I have to say that my favorite is the Cross Stitch Maniac piece. Cute! And very fitting, wouldn't you say? :-)
ReplyDeleteGreat finishes! And I love the piece you got as a gift. I need to stitch that. lol!
ReplyDeleteCongrats! on the lovely finishes
ReplyDeleteThe little ornie from Barb is fantastic
The nutcracker is too cute
Whoa, awesome finishes, Kathy! I love your lighthouse and I'm impressed with the 112 eyelets!
ReplyDeleteCongrats on your finishes and great gift too!
ReplyDeleteLove your lighthouse, and your gift is really cute.
ReplyDeleteHappy stitching!
Bobbi
lovely finishes! and what a thoughtful gift of your friend. Good idea to put it somewhere you can see it all the time.
ReplyDeleteHi Kathy,
ReplyDeleteLovely finishes! And did I see a Dutch scene on that 'banner' as well? Beatrice or Adriana?
Have fun, happy stitching & hugs,
Carolien
Well done, Kathy, both are wonderful finishes. Hope your friends likes her gift. I think I also have to have the stitch maniac ornie, too! Which is the one drawback of the wipocalypse: I end up seeing too many more things I want to stitch ;-)
ReplyDeleteLovely stitching.
ReplyDeleteFabuous finishes, congratulations. I'm in awe of your 112 eyelets!
ReplyDeleteWow! You've been very busy, Kathy! I assume you're back in Canada, now? Did you manage to stitch much in the car on the way home? Don't know how people do that--I can't seem to stitch in a moving vehicle!
ReplyDeleteLovely work on all--really pretty lighthouse and the joint stitch project is adorable. Love your cute Nutcracker contribution :)
Yes, that WIPocalypse is a great thing. I also stitched more on one of my BAPs than I would have done without the WIPocalypse. Two great finishes, Kathy!
ReplyDeleteYour finishes are beautiful. One of these days I will try Algerian eyelets. They look fabulous on your piece. What a sweet piece you and your friends are doing for a friend. She will love it! And that pillow ornament is awesome. Love the variegated threads.
ReplyDeleteWow!!!! Congrats on the finishes!!!! They are lovely!!!!!!
ReplyDeleteCongrats on all the finishes! I love the little pillow saying :) Have a great week.
ReplyDeleteCongrats on your lovely finishes!
ReplyDeleteLove the "maniac" pillow too.
Fabulous finishes Kathy! I just love seeing your lighthouse stitches. :o)
ReplyDeleteGorgeous finishes and WiPs! Very pretty lighthouse and Summer Stroll looks almost too delicate. Love the saying on the pillow ornie :)
ReplyDeleteHugs,
Veronica.
Gorgeous finishes! Well done on 112 eyelets. The Summer Stroll is a really pretty design. I love your nutcracker! ;0)
ReplyDeleteGreat finishes!
ReplyDeleteI see you got some stitches in on the way home! My favourite is the Lighthouse. It's just awesome! Love the group piece too. It's a great idea for a gift.
ReplyDeleteCongratulations for your finishes! They're so nice along with all your wips.
ReplyDeleteYou have been busy, Kathy! Love all your finishes!
ReplyDeleteCongrats on your finishes.
ReplyDeleteLovely lighthouse Kathy!! The Just nan is so beautiful too! WOW that's a lot of eyelets!! The Nutcracker is adorable! Such a pretty gift too!!
ReplyDeleteGreat report Kathy! Gosh I can pick out who stitched what without looking too hard from the Thursday sttchers!
ReplyDeleteLove the lighthouse, Kathy. It brings back memories of our years in San Diego! You've been busy
ReplyDeletegorgeous stitching :D I love all your finishes :D
ReplyDeleteYou sure have been busy Kathy - lovely stitching as always.
ReplyDeleteLove your new 'about me' picture.
Julie has seen the new Nutcracker HAED at SP. She wants me to get it but I have a strange feeling that 'Bygone Summer' will last me a lifetime. :)
Great finishes!
