Progress is Happening Slowly on These Two

I haven’t had as much time to stitch as I’d like to, but I’ve made some progress this week nonetheless. I did a little bit of stitching on Pirate Treasure over the weekend…

I love this pattern and it’s coming along nicely, but I think I’m going to put it away for awhile and come back to it later on. I’m itching to dig into some new stash that I bought 😉

Working on stitching this quote...I’m also working on stitching a quote for a pattern that will be available here on Stitching the Night Away soon. \

This is my “at my desk” project that I work on when I’m waiting on files to upload or download and syncing apps to the computer. It goes slowly since I’m only doing a handful of stitching at a time.

This photo was taken with my phone so it’s not the best quality, but you can see the floss toss and a few of the words.

I hope you had a productive stitching weekend!
Loretta

    Love the sparkly fabric you’re using for both of them and I can’t wait to see what your new pattern is going to say!

    I have some of that sparkly fabric in my stash. I think I’ve just decided that I need to use it after seeing these. Off I go to see which chart on my 2012 list I can pair it with… Can’t wait to see the new pattern 🙂

    Love the Pirate Treasure. I have this in my stash to stitch someday. My friend stitched it for her husband and it is a great design. Yours is looking great!

    I think I know what the quote is…and if it is, that’s how I feel all the time! Lol

      It’s a Thomas Edison quote 😉 one of my favorite quotes ever.
