Cross Stitch
Stitching Ink Circles design Cirque des Triangles on 28-count opalescent Lugana hand-dyed fabric from the Ship’s Manor Little Orphan Fabrics collection with DMC# 0029
I’ve only just started and I’m already in love with this project. I absolutely see how people find this series addictive, because I already want all of the other ones.
Thanks for checking out my stitching 🙂 Have a beautifully stitchy day!
Stitching mine on on 28 count hand-dyed Orange Spice evenweave from Stitchnmomma…
These blocks were stitched using two strands of Eterna Silk #3010 and Ship’s Manor Rolling Thunder hand dyed silk… more silks yet to come as the project progresses.
This ornament was inspired by a combination of classic quilt designs and Celtic knot motifs. The way the blocks are laid out, you can finish it as a traditional ornament or as a biscornu if you prefer.
Whatever colors you decide on, I look forward to seeing your finished ornament. I hope you’ll come by and share a photo with me in the Stitching the Night Away Facebook group, use hashtag #stitchingthenightaway and/or tag me @retta719 on Instagram, or even email me directly.
Enjoy and Happy Stitching!
The Sherlock Holmes stories by Sir Arthur Conan Doyle are my absolute favorite pieces of literature. I’ve read all of them at least twice, and many of them thrice. This particular quote is taken from The Hound of the Baskervilles…
pattern size is 100 x 118, using two floss colors (charted in DMC 002 and DMC 312, but you can absolutely use any two thread colors you’d like)
Happy stitching!
Actually finished a thing for my Mill Hill Mondays stitching this week 🙂
At some point I realized I made a tiny mistake, but I made it on both sides of the design, so I totally just flubbed it and stitched around it to make it work 😉 He still needs cut out of the perforated paper, but I couldn’t find my tiny scissors that I use for that step, so he’s waiting in the ‘to be finished fully’ project bin until the next time I work on finishing up some ornaments for display.
I always feel like I stitch slower when I’m stitching in hand instead of using my stand, but these Mill Hill kits are fun and they make me happy so I don’t mind the extra time investment. I got off to a really slow start thanks to some swelling in my hands, but the blue stitches filled in quickly and I just took my time with it.
I pulled this out of the neglected unfinished project pile this week and put a few stitches in it. As much as I love this piece, it is difficult to make progress on when my stitching time has been limited and in short bursts lately. Someday it will be a beautiful and amazing finish, but probably not in 2018.
Stitched on 28 count Lugana hand dyed opalescent fabric (Blue Diamond Reflections from ‘original’ Silkweavers) with threads from kit package.
Castle Ridge is one of the four Miniatures from Teresa Wentzler, available in The Best of Teresa Wentzler Fantasy Collection Vol. 2 booklet from Leisure Arts.

While it’s charted in all one color, you can of course use any colors you wish to stitch the piece. I look forward to seeing your creations 🙂
Happy stitching!
