During my last post I said that my sewing machine was coming out and that I would be ffo’ing some of my finishes over that weekend.
Well that didn’t happen for one reason or another and since then I’ve had some more new starts and finishes, so yesterday I eventually pulled out everything I needed and got stuck in at long last.
First off, I did the quick and easy finish of the Mill Hill Ornament ‘Angel with Lantern’, by making a beaded hanger with the left over beads and then covering the back with some sticky backed velvet.
The next ffo was also a simple one because it was going into a frame that I’m going to change out each season.
That was ‘Floral Etchings 2’ from Heart in Hand.
It involved lacing three flat pieces.
This was Spring (Floral Etchings)
The third thing I had waiting to be ffo’ed was ‘Patterned Pretties’ by Jeanette Douglas, which was a Christmas gift from Stasi, over at Bee-mused and Bee-stitching.
It was a kit which came with the wool backing fabric, and I added some cream cotton lace around the edges.
Then, I as I was looking through my bits and bobs from my scrapbooking days, I came across a little oval frame that I thought might look ok on the back, with my stitched initial in it.

Soak Up The Sun
And 'Ride the Waves' which I had just started and mentioned in my last post.
With four more panels to stitch, last night I finished another new start, ‘Build Sandcastles’, so that's already in the pile to ffo with the next batch!
Here’s my little display
so far
My final new start and ffo was my Cross Stitch Camp piece for JUne, ‘A Stitch for all Seasons’ from the summer 2026 edition of Just Cross Stitch.
Originally I was thinking I would make all four panels into pillows and I may still do that with the other three but when it came to the Summer panel, I decided to make a thread bed.
I still have to stitch this year’s camp badge and will be doing that with the same threads that I used for my June project, so until next time…
Happy Stitching!
