Wisemen Came
I think I did really well in June, but I think for July I will up the ante a little bit, and make my goals a little more of a stretch. Let’s see…
Knit on Homespun Wrap
Finish Their Song
Finish Row 1 of Tesori
Stitch one WhimZi
Stitch one SB ornament
Stitch on Barnabee’s Quest
Wish me luck!!
The postman brought me a goodie in the mail last week…I received Just Nan’s Queen’s Bluebird Box. I just got the chart and the finishing pack. I have no idea when I will get to this one, so I didn’t order the fabric or the silks.
And, I went to my LNS on Saturday to pick up a couple of finishing items (which they didn’t have), and I ended up with a couple a charts. I bought Birds of a Feather’s Red Reindeer Sampler, which I fell in love with after seeing Karen V.‘s. I also bought that Country Cottage Ice Cream Sampler, which I had my eye on last week. I picked up the mat for my Lemon Meringue Sampler late last week, and I have the perfect frame for it, so as soon as I can get it assembled and framed, I promise to show a photo. I also picked up a mat I had cut for a couple of maps that we bought on our Bahamas cruise (where Eric proposed), unfortunately, they cut the mat wrong, so it has to be redone. Oh well, the maps will look so good when they are finally framed!
Thank you all so much for your compliments on the Kimonos – I am so enjoying looking at them in the dining room. I just have the quilt top pinned up on the wall for now, so that I can see them.
I am grateful for seeing progress in my measurements – lots of inches lost!
Love your ornament! I just finished the first one in this series and hope to have them all done to display this year.
You got some great stash too – the RR S is such a quick, fun stitch – can’t wait to see yours stitched up!
Does your bible say wisemen? I really sort of hold this against Shepherd’s Bush. I suppose I shouldn’t.
It looks good, though!
This line by SB is really adorable. Yours looks great!
I love your SB ornament. I’ve done a couple of these from the JCS ornament mags abd i really should do the others.
Great ornament, I’ve done a few of that series too, all out of the ornament issues.
lovely finish! and I love your new stash 🙂
Lovely finish! I just love SB designs 🙂
I see you did very well with your June goals…well done!!
What a sweet finish, Michelle. I do love this ornament series, it will be sad to see it finish.
And OOh you got your box!! I’m still waiting on mine to cross the ocean. I did order the silks and fabby as I know that it will be impossible to get them over here and Drema had a good price. Can’t wait for it to arrive!
Time is flying – it’s so hard to believe half the year has gone past already.
Hi Michelle, I’ve been reading your blog regularly for the past little while, and thought that today I must make a comment and let you know how much I love your kimono quilt. It is just beautiful. Do you plan to put it on a bed, or will you use it as a wall hanging? I also enjoy the “thankful” endings on each of your postings. And Hamlet is adorable. You can tell him so for me. Cheers Judy
Nice job on the SB finish!
Great ornie finish! And great stash too! You did so well with your June goals, well done! Good luck with the july ones
Your ornament is lovely Michelle. Great stash, that blue bird is too cute.

Your ornament looks great! I hope to stitch these one day too.
I ordered the BOAF RR chart after seeing it on Karen’s blog too! LOL!
Hi Michelle: Thank you for your nice comment in my blog! I just love your little ornament!! I love Shepherd’s Bush things too and I also see you have some great new stash! I think I am going to have to have the ice cream sundae from Country Cottage Needleworks too! It is just soooo cute!! Those all look to be really fun projects to do! Debby 🙂
Michelle, Your SB looks just darling! So pretty. And, you are one lucky ducky to get the Blue Bird piece..so many shops are sold out!
Hugs,
Deb
Great finish Michelle, this series by SB is so nce.
Your ornament looks lovely! I am stitching those as well, I have the first 2 done, and a third started. I received one for an exchange 🙂 I really like them.
Your new stash is great, I have a few of those charts in my “some day” pile as well!
Great job on keeping so many goals for the month of June, that is awesome 😀
Congrats on your ornie HD!
Good luck with your July goals!
nice stash… I adore that red reindeer chart. And WOOHOOO your kimono quilt looks marvelous 🙂
You have a lot of projects going on! I have begun recently to start having a lot too, sometimes I am confounded on what i want to stitch on. I love the Shepherd’s Bush designs quite a lot and this is a real cute one.
Lovely ornament. Great stash too. Enjoy!
The ornie is cute! Great job:)
I’ve been stitching this adorable series, too. 🙂 Last time I looked, I’d started the 2006, but not finished it. That’ll probably come out again closer to the holidays. Lol! Great work on your ornament!
