When I Dream of Autumn – Puntini Puntini

The last couple of days here in the UK have been beautiful and I’ve been making the most of them in my garden, because it’s unusual to have temperatures of 22 degrees this late in October.

And speaking of Autumn, it was a good time to finish and fully finish ‘When I Dream of Autumn’ from  Puntini Puntini, 

I love Paola’s designs for this set of seasons and how they come with two buttons for finishing and a matching set of pins to purchase that go with each of them.

I finished the edge of my little pillow with a crocheted picot edge, that I made using a skein of DMC cotton pearl.

While I had my sewing machine out I decided to get a couple other bits FFO’d that have been sitting around waiting to be done.

The first was stitched in November last year, but because Halloween had already been and gone, it was put in the unfinished box of doom.

This is ‘Smell My Feet’ from La-D-Da.

The other thing I pulled out was ‘Black Sampler 2021, from Whilst Iris Naps.

Originally I had planned to put this on a spool but because I didn’t have one, I decided to make a little bolster pillow instead and pinned the sampler along the top.

Then it was time for a new start, and I pulled out Log Cabin Christmas from Little House Needleworks.

 Happy Stitching!

 As we head into October, the weather is getting wetter and colder, although up to now I’ve resisted turning on the heating.  That to me says we're getting into the darker and what seems like longer months of the year and I’m not ready for that just yet!

 Mind you I shouldn’t complain, when I think about all the poor people in the states who are having to cope with the terrible destruction caused by hurricane Helene .  I can’t begin to imagine how you face and cope with something like that and I know it’s no consolation, but material things can be replaced in time, you can’t replace you, so stay safe and well.  I’ve already seen on social media, groups offering to help replace ‘stitchy things’ for those that may have lost everything, proving once again that our on-line community have big hearts and are willing to help in any way they can…….angels, every one of them!

September was a good month for me stitching wise, as I had three new starts and 4 finishes, one of which got me ahead of the game because it was Christmas ornament for Octobers 12 in 24 challenge with Carol from Stitching Dream Blogspot

(sorry I've not ironed anything this morning)

This was first time I’ve stitched one of Misty’s designs from  Luminous Fiber Arts  and it was the cute freebie she gave us at the Jingle Ball last year, called 'Joy'. 

I stitch it on a scrap piece of 36ct ‘Mill Stone’  linen from Legacy Fiber Artz and used left over thread from my 2022 Holiday Countdown from Evertote in the colour ‘On Holiday’.

I'm adding in a little update here because I FFO'd this on 12/10/24.

I also made some great progress on my birthday start, the ‘Newcastle Bouquet Biscornu’ from Teresa Kogut.  This is where it was the last time you saw it.

I finished the top panel and have made a start to bottom.

Of course, now we are into a new month I had to have a new start for October and decided to go with ‘When I Think of Autumn’ from Puntini Puntini.

I’ve had the chart, buttons and pins tucked away for some time, so yesterday I got it out and made a good start on it, although I’ve just noticed that my ‘M’ is one row short, so I’ll have to do a little bit of frogging the next time I pick it up.

 

Happy Stitching!

When I Think Of Winter - Puntini Puntini

 Yah!   I have my second FFO of the year and another pillow for my rather merger looking  ‘Winter’ tire tray.

‘When I Dream Of Winter’ was one of my ‘NYE 12 x 12’ starts on New Year’s Eve.

 Well, as you can see it’s all finished.

The chart came with the two buttons and I also purchased the pin set that went with it, but I can’t help thinking that’s an angry looking Cardinal, Lol!

I finished the pillow with snowballs which are actually a crocheted puff stitch braid that I made

and it now lives in my tire tray, that’s all set out for winter.

 

Happy Stitching!

Santa’s & Snowmen - part 6 of 8

 

My second finish of the year and the last of the Prairie Schooler Snowmen from the Santa’s and Snowmen chart.

I’ve loved working on these and will come back to finish the two remaining Santa's, later in the year.

With that little one under my belt and staying with the winter theme,  I picked up another of my wips from New Years Eve,  ‘When I Think Of Winter’ from Puntini Puntini. 

This is where it was left after an hours stitching on New Years Eve.

And this is where it is now.

 Happy Stitching!
