It Has Been Long Minute, Missing In Action with Spring Cleaning

 I hope all is well with you all, so sorry I have not been in Blogland for almost two months, I am spring cleaning, gardening and planting, pruning and all the fun stuff this time of year.

I did get in some stitching, I finished the Lily's Chicken design from Teresa Kogut Patreon site, I am going to try and stitch it onto my white jean jacket, is it a good idea or nix that? maybe a few ideas from you all in Blogland.



I just love her so much, the chickens are a hoot


Thern I finished stitching a free design from Primrose Cottage Quilts and Stitches, this may not be available any longer, they do not keep their free designs on line very long, this will be a pillow for my basket.


Love the color of threads used, especially the white pumpkin




I had the privilege of going to the Welcome Stitchery Retreat on May 17th and 18th, it was a blast, Teresa Kogut and Chantelle from Chantells 141 Designs, what a fun time we had, I met the owner of Welcome Stitchery, Justine is a blast, her staff is so accommodating, the design from Teresa is a three part set




I have been stitching the Drum this past week, love drums for some reason, my progress, so far, the thread colors are a bit muted which I really like


So sorry for the wrinkles, this one is done on 40 county, I do not have a stretcher bar that small so have to do in hand

Chantelle gave us some amazing boards to finish with the designs from Teresa


And


 And this adorable bag, with threads and needle


Nice assortment of threads




I fell in love with her wood designs and started following her on Patreon, she is an amazing designer of wood products

I did buy a little stash, not much I am trying to stitch from stash I already have


Love this design also



The Pony Black needles are amazing; they have a white top and silver bottom of the needle.


I just need to find a tin for this design


Some new fabric for Spring Easter and Valentine stitch designs for next year


Some clearance fabric yum


Some project cards, Welcome Stitchery always sends a project card with every order, I just wanted more for the designs I will be stitching from stash

There were so many fun gifts exchanged and given by welcome Stitchery



A fun Needlebook with Teresa Kogut fabric, 





I do not want to make this a long post, will show you a few more things in my next post, I hope all is                                       well in your homes and you are getting loads of stitching done


Catherine
