Where Has All the Stitching Gone?

Yes, I am still stitching, believe it or not. Things are just proceeding very slowly, as I’ve been having trouble sitting down and focusing on it lately.

I have a nice sized finish to show off, but it’s kinda secret at the moment, so it will have to wait.

However, I did have my 15th finish in my now 70 projects challenge yesterday. It’s a charity quilt square, which I tend not to show and I don’t think they are terribly fantastic most of the time, but since I have nothing else to share and y’all are probably dying for some photos to lighten this place up a bit… I’ll show you yesterday’s finish and the previous SOLAK square finish, as well. Both were designed by me:


Megaman

Xbox Logo

Both of these will go into a quilt for a little boy who loves play his Xbox, Megaman, Spiderman, Digimon and several other things for which there are no existing designs. 😆 So, I had to bite the bullet and make some up myself. There are 2 other designs that I have created which have yet to be stitched. One is an Xbox console and controller, which is my current commuter project and the other is one I entitled “Megaman in Action.” I basically just trolled Google for photos and then tried to simulate them in cross stitch.

I don’t really have the time to stitch all of them myself, but I tossed out the availability of the designs to the SOLAK group and had no takers, so I’m slowly working through them. I haven’t even stitched my square for Mary’s quilt yet, plus I need to keep cracking on Cathy’s RR which is my top priority. I need to be able to survive on less sleep so that I can have more time to stitch!

    Wow, what a great idea – and your designs are so good! Very clever and they look wonderful. I’d love to see the oter two designs.

    Just be careful not to work yourself too hard, ok?

    Hey Jenna: Very cool blocks for the charity quilt.

    What a ‘busy’ time in your life. Sounds like you have a lot of stuff going on!!

    I think some stitchers + stitching have been on the back burner for awhile!
