More panda, as requested by Ethan. This time we made a more realistic panda face. $2.00 Pattern size is 70 x 68. There’s no color legend since it’s single color stitching. While black DMC 310 is of course the obvious choice, there are no rules that say your panda can’t be grey, purple, orange, pink, […]
The Eyes of the Dragon by Stephen King
It’s hard to choose a favorite book. I love to read and I love stories. But if I were forced to choose just one book to have and to hold forever and ever, I would choose this one. In case you didn’t know; This is NOT a Horror Novel When most people see Stephen King […]
Butterfly Gifts Stitched by Jan
Jan shared this photo of her finished butterflies in the Stitching the Night Away Facebook group recently. She stitched them up as gifts for a weekend family gathering and everyone got to pick one to take home with them! How awesome is that? Each one is different and has it’s own little bit of personality.
Making a Pocket Pillow from an Old Shirt
I had the sewing machine out on the dining room table to make some repairs to a few old shirts. One of them wasn’t going to survive so I set it off to the side thinking I’d use the fabric when I needed to adjust tension or run a test stitch. Then I remembered the […]

Saying Goodbye to Hancock Fabrics
When they announced stores were closing on April 1st I hoped that it was an awful April Fool’s Day joke, but it wasn’t. They started liquidating everything. They were the nicest fabric store in my area (and within walking distance of my home) so I was really bummed out. Even more so because my son […]

Stitching Bloggers Blog Hop: Thrift Store Treasures
For this month’s blog hop we’re discussing thrift store finds, treasures, and oddities. No matter what you walk into a thrift store looking for, chances are you’ll find something crafty, creative, and repurposable. You might find supplies from a crafter’s stash, long forgotten in a dusty attic and donated by their children or grandchildren who […]
Butterfly Stitched by Lisa H.
I love what Lisa did with the words here, great finish! Go find your wings and stitch something fun today 🙂 If you’ve stitched one of my patterns, I’d love to see your finish and include it in the gallery here as well. Drop me a note.
Framed and Gifted Lace Heart Wedding Sampler
So I’m a horrible friend in general. I forget things, a lot, frequently, and all the time. If you look closely you’ll see the date on the piece is April of 2010. My husband became very ill that month and we missed the wedding. With so many things going on, I set the piece aside […]
