Hi again...since it is New Year's Eve, I will show you two pieces I have been working on....have not stitched at all for over two weeks...haven't been in the mood. Now with the Holidays coming to a close, it is time to get back to it...

The round ornament is by dede...I started the green part three times....at first I tried some Kreinik braid and that didn't look right. Then I tried something like Snow...that didn't look right. I finally settled on plain old DMC floss..doing the Nabuko stitch. For the white side I am using one strand of DMC white floss ,doubled, with one strand of DMC Fil metallise, doubled, to give it some shine. This is also in Nabuko. Then I will basketweave the circles in the corresponding metallic before stitching on the sequins.

For the poinsettia, each petal is in a different stitch. My green leaves on the outskirts don't look too swift...I still have to put in some gold metallic lines in the background and then make it into a pillow. Hopefully I will have this done by Christmas of 2009!!!

Hi, it is December 31st and I am again trying to put photo and blog together. There is a photo of the ornaments I am still working on for my four grandchildren. I am a few YEARS behind...but I hope they are used to that!

Southwest Nativity Set

2007-01-06T12:24:00.000-07:00

I purchased all of these canvases in about 1995...hurried and got them done in time to enter in the seminar. The tall pieces are 16" tall.The set has a teepee and a rug which I will probably not stitch.

My boot

2007-01-06T12:22:00.000-07:00

I suggested our guild stitch boots to hang on a tree and to sell at the auction. We ended up with 43-48 boots. I think the tree brought in $1300.

Day-Night

2007-01-06T12:19:00.000-07:00

I had this around for a long time and hurried and finished it to be entered at the ANG seminar in Tucson.

Yet another kimono. Brenda taught this, a Jane Juell design and I chose different colors then the rest of the class.

Jane Juell kimono

2007-01-06T12:11:00.000-07:00

I love the Orient and kimonos. This is the first I have done.

Jorgenson family crest

2007-01-06T12:10:00.000-07:00

My maiden name is Jorgenson. We are Norwegian and we drink a lot of coffee and love to eat. Therefore the crest. That is the Norwegian flag as a backdrop.

Santa

2007-01-06T12:09:00.000-07:00

This is a santa I did the ANG auction.

I purchased these canvases from a shop in Austin.

Madonna

2007-01-06T12:02:00.000-07:00

This is designed by the new designer at Sundance. I am not Catholic but just wanted to stitch it.

The Emperor

2007-01-06T12:01:00.000-07:00

This was a cyber class taught by Brenda Hart. I wanted a purple with the grey but it ended up being more of a maroon.

Julie Soliotis class at seminar

2007-01-06T11:59:00.000-07:00

I like this but should have done a better job on laying the gold. It was harder then it looked.

Puzzles by Jean Hilton

2007-01-06T11:57:00.000-07:00

We did this as a ANG guild project I believe. It was fun!

a Jean Hilton piece

2007-01-06T11:56:00.000-07:00

I did this for my youngest daughter to hang in her living room. Her husband put up a fuss about it so I took it back!

Tulips

2007-01-06T11:55:00.000-07:00

This photo doesn"t do it justice...this piece is huge! A friend told me to get a 6" mat and then frame so the piece is very large. But she was right...that is what was needed. I have it on a purple wall in our living room.

another Brenda Hart workshop

2007-01-06T11:53:00.000-07:00

I think this is called Falling Leaves...am not sure.

Brenda Hart workshop

2007-01-06T11:50:00.000-07:00

This was a workshop from Brenda Hart. Everyone else's is in blue but since I don't have any blue in my home, I requested gree. As you see, it worked!

My First Blogging attempt

2007-01-03T11:46:00.000-07:00

Hi fellow stitchers. I thought that if I started a blog that I might get more stitching done...also it would keep me from eating..........I love seeing what others are working on and their progress. I hope you enjoy mine.
