18" Van Gogh hoop - my goal was to finish the greens/browns over Thanksgiving Break 😁

I lived in Alaska for a year and stitching this piece has me itching to go back. I miss living in a tiny bush village. I miss the Aurora and the frigid temperatures. What an experience it was.

I started this hoop in 2021 and my goal was to finish it by the end of 2022... it's an 18" quilters hoop... my version of Starry Night by Van Gogh

Feminine Energy - this was my first time stitching ferns... I love how they turned out!

My sister had a huge stain she couldn't get out. So I stitched this sunflower to cover it.

My grandpa passed last Wednesday. He was a Vetrinarian and bred black labs for years. Grandma requested a piece to go in the casket. I wish I had more time to do more, but for a 3 day project, it came together well.

I have wanted to stitch this duo for a while. The pattern is based on Doug Chiang's work. I am debating if I should thread paint it, or leave it as is. I used a single strand split stitch.

Happy World Bee Day! They are one of my favorite things to stitch.

For mother's day my 6 year old said "my mom is as nice as a bear wearing a sweater". It's the best compliment I have ever received so I had to make this adorable reminder.

The butterfly breathes new life into the sunflower.

I stitched this as a gift. I used a reference photo from one of my favorite camping spots.

First time stitching a monarch and I think it turned out really well!

My current work in progress while we spend the week on Lake Powell.

Making Itty bitty baby bee earrings is my favorite!

I began this project in January as a gift for my sister's new baby. The final stitches went in this morning. I am so proud of this piece.

Stitched my first violet!

Text has never been my strong suit, so the way this name turned out using brick stitch has me over the moon!

I hit the one year anniversary of starting this ambitious 18" piece. My goal is to have it finished within this next year.

I stitched Horseshoe Bend! I love how it turned out. I want to do a series of US landscapes. What others should I do?

There is something so satisfying about stitching in such a small area. These pendants have a 1 inch diameter.

I stitched my first bunny! And I am so excited with how these two turned out.

It finally looks like a bunny!

It was a lot of fun reflecting on all my pieces from last year. I combined my six favorite into a collage.

I have been more intentional sitting down to stitch this massive 18" hoop. My goal is to finish it in 2022. Do you have any stitch goals?
