Really, Where Does the Time Go?

Thanks for visiting and taking the time to comment. I appreciate them all. Hope you all had a nice holiday weekend. We were busy with a lot of yard work, which is never ending. Visiting with friends and some stitching.
Sorry for the bad picture, I don't iron until the piece is finished. This is Dogwood Lace by Rosewood Manor. The fabric is 36 ct. Chantilly Cream by LSL. I am loving this piece and wish I had more time to work on it. You can clock on any of the pictures for a larger view.
This is my stitching group piece. It is coming along nicely.
I had The Summer Band sampler stretched and popped it into the frame I am using for all 4 seasons. I love the frame molding and it goes well with all of the seasons.
I will end with a couple more shots of my Iris. They are so happy. Stella is growing and doing well. This coming weekend we are going to the shelters yearly open house for the adopted pets and their families. Hope to get some shots of her and her siblings. Until next time......Happy Stitching! Deborah

Deborah, your wips are beautiful. Wow Dogwood Lace is looking amazing. Love your framed Summer Sampler - looks incredible. I would walk by it many times just to see it. Smart of you to switch out the seasons samplers using the same frame. Have a great weekend:)

Ooh... Dogwood Lace is pretty. I've never taken notice of it before until I saw your WiP. Summer Band Sampler looks great in that frame.

Beautiful irises! First time seeing a pink one.

Hugs,
Veronica.

Hey Deborah!
I am loving the Rosewood Manor piece. I love the floss color. Summer band looks great hung up.
Have a great weekend.

Summer Band looks splendid in its new frame.
Have a wonderful time at the shelter, how lovely to be able to see Stella's siblings and how they have grown too... i wonder which one will be the best behaved?

Peggy Lee said...

Oh gosh that Dogwood Lace is lovely! I need to go look at that one for my stash basket, like there's room in there....really!

Your framed piece is beautifully done.

Margaret said...

Love your framed piece and your WIPs. The Dogwood Lace is really pretty! Your Iris are gorgeous too! Sounds fun going to the shelter with Stella. Have fun!

Stunning work well done xx

Mary said...

Your progress on Dogwood Lace is amazing! I'm not sure I've seen this design before, but now I want to have a look at it.

The pics of your iris make me homesick! They would always be the prettiest flowers of the spring when I was growning up. Thanks for sharing them.

I love your Summer Sampler piece...that is such a good idea to have them all in and out of the same frame :) LOVELY!

Dogwood Lace is really coming along and I love your Summer Band Sampler!!!

Have a great weekend and I hope you share some pics of Stella with her siblings:)

Carol said...

This is such a busy time of year, isn't it, Deborah? Hard to find time to sit and stitch as much as we would like, that's for sure!

Your Dogwood Lace is stunning and the frame you've chosen for the four seasons is perfect. You are so good about getting your things framed--I tend to really procrastinate when it comes to framing...

Summer Band Sampler is beautiful. Using the same frame is ingenious!

Pretty irises. I know what you mean about yard work. It's never ending once rainy-season starts.

Patty C. said...

I can't wait to see dogwood lace finished -gorgeous wip :)

Melissa said...

Everything looks wonderful! I especially like the Dogwood piece. I can see how you would love stitching it!

Ruth said...

If you find out where your time goes, can you please check and see if my time is there too?

Congrats on the *beautiful* stitching accomplishments -- I envy your pieces. Frankly you make me want to go home and stitch RIGHT NOW!

Lovely Iris too :)

The irises are about as beautiful as your stitching!

DonnaTN said...

Your wips are looking pretty. Your frame for the 4 seasons band samplers is great. Wish I could get my irises to bloom like yours.

Beautiful stitching! That band sampler looks just perfect in its frame.

Myra said...

Deborah, your stitching is always so pretty and inspiring.

Melanie said...

Life is super charged and sped up lately! That's always the way when the nice weather hits. We're all mad to get out of the house after being cooped up all winter.

Love the WIPS!
