Some of you may remember that I am prone to losing either my stitching (and having the pattern), or my patterns (and having the stitching). I try to be organized, I really do...I'm a librarian after all! But these things still seem to happen to me more often that I like to admit to.
Anyway, I found one of those stitched pieces that I had been looking for. I was looking for a piece of fabric for another project, and pulled out this piece and there it was...folded with the stitching to the inside so I kept passing it over! I was (am) so happy because this is a piece that I really want to finish.
It is called Apple Tree Sampler designed by Hawkins House. I started it as a SAL with my friend Babs in January of 2011. The last time I stitched on it was April of that same year. It doesn't seem like that long ago...and I have no idea why I put it aside because I really love it.

So I decided to stitch on it on Tuesdays, since that has always been UFO day ever since I started joining online stitching groups many years ago. I didn't get much done last week, just a couple of small motifs and a start on the tree. But I don't care, as long as I do a little bit each week, it will eventually get finished!

Neither of these shows the fabric very well...it's more of a yellow color, and the threads are much more vibrant than they appear in the photos.
So...don't give up if you think you have lost something...it will turn up...eventually!
Thanks for stopping by to visit!
Yeah, you found your started piece. BUt there is a saying: The house doesn't lose anything, lol. Now you can happily continue stitching on this lovely piece.

Well done on finding that which was lost! Very pretty, looking forward to seeing more of it :)
ReplyDeleteWell done on finding the missing piece and on making progress on it too. A little each week will soon see a lovely finish.
ReplyDeleteGlad you found it, it is gorgeous!
ReplyDeleteHi Lynda, the reason you put is down is probably because your sal friend Babs fell down right away. I think I know where mine is and will join you tomorrow (assuming I find it. I have organized somewhat. Yours looks and I don't remember mine looking that bright. Will see. hugs!
ReplyDeleteI am glad you found it, L. It looks awesome! When you stitch it a little bit at a time, you will tame it one day.
