May Stitchalong: Week 2

PB & J dreams
Stitched by HeidiMakesStuff

Boy are you guys fast! And stitchers like Heidi are setting the bar pretty high, indeed. How can I hope to stitch anything as great as this, you may be asking yourself? Ok, maybe it's just me asking myself, but whatever. The whole point of a stitchalong is to just join in and do your thing at whatever level your at, in whatever way you want! So I hope lots and lots of you join us for this one - remember, there's a prize for the most inspired stitching - a free pattern from Cate Anevski's store and a bundle of floss and fabric to get you started!

We already have a few awesome finishes in the pool, including a wedding sampler:

An adorable framed set:

And some incredibly detailed satin stitching in progress:

Am I feeling the pressure? Ok, maybe a little bit. But either way I whipped out my blue charcoal pencil and finally got started:

How about you? I think it's time you got started and added yours to the pool!

Need the patterns?

What are you waiting for? Let's see some more stitching! :)

  4. I love the wedding sampler. My niece asked if I could make her something for her wedding (since they already have the "stuff" they need) and I think this is it! They're a funky couple and foodies so it's perfect!
