SAL- Autumn House #2

Even with all of my canning and preserving, I worked on multiple WIPs the last three weeks!Autumn house got the most done on it out of all the projects. Here is where I left off last time:

And here is where I am now:

Here is a short video of me stitching the Autumn House.

I also started a project, which for the first time I designed myself and it even has some embroidery elements. I also used a 32 count linen which I have never been brave enough to use before. It took me a bit to get used to stitching over 2 squares but I got it!

I have some tweaking to do. Still not sure about the red hearts.And the most exciting project I worked on the last three weeks is big project #1 out of two I have as a goal this year for my 20 for ’20…Fraktur Hex by Modern Folkart Embroidery

You’ll see more on this next time.Thanks for checking in with me and I will see you in October!I belong to a group of fine stitchers in this SAL. We all stitch different things during our check-ins so please go visit their links below to see what we are all up to! I would like to welcome Susan and Anne to the group!

Welcome to my Blog! My world is my husband and son (soon to be moving into his own home) and my step-children (fully grown) and our two cats who are definitely ying and yang. My day job is as Deputy Clerk of my home town in Western, NY but when I get home I have two side gigs, one as a professional private baker, and two, as an Etsy shop owner selling vintage and antique dishes and accessories. I have been gardening and growing my own food since my grandfather taught me at the ripe old age of 5. I stitch, I bake, I grow food, I can and preserve, I grocery shop to save money and eat well and boy do I have massive to-do lists. I hope you enjoy my day to day writings.

  1. Suddenly there’s so much color on your Autumn house! Wonderful! Your original design looks good to me, I think the two hearts are appropriate. That fraktur pattern will be a challenge – hopefully a fun one. 😉

  2. Mary Margaret, that autumn house is nearly finished! What a cute little make this is. The modern fractal looks like another wow in the making! I love stitching over two threads on large count fabric, it gives an added texture, almost like a canvas.

  3. Hi, I just love this post. I’m loving the colours in Autumn House. Kudos for making your own design which is sweet and trying the 32 count linen which is what I usually work with. Just need very good lighting. Your video is very relaxing…I enjoyed that as well.

  4. I think the hearts are prefect, especially as it is such a romantic date. The design works so well too. Are there more of your own designs in the pipeline? There should be!
