this past weekend, what with the Toledo Symphony concert Friday night, but I did stitch almost all day Saturday and a good portion of Sunday and got two completions chalked up to "International Hermit and Stitch Weekend"! The first was my CQJC2012/BJP2102 crazy quilt block, which I posted yesterday.
The second was the December 2011 Stash Buster project called Nana's Afghan (think Granny Squares in needlepoint!). I didn't make it full size as I really didn't need an insert for a tote or the like, so I downsized it to roughly 5 x 5 and will put it in the needlepoint ornament-to-be pile!
It is truly a stash buster as I used the same DMC flosses I used for the two pyramid socks (posted here and here) in this monthly challenge...
Only one more project left to be kitted up and stitched in Stash-busters and I'll be caught up, at least until Ms. Perry sets another challenge before us! SO it's back to "Sewing with Mama"!
Hello!
ReplyDeleteI just found your blog on the IHSW blog.
Your needlepoint project is lovely and a great stash busting idea.
