Another part of the stitching for Christmas gifts, but not a
Christmas stitchery. Does that make sense? Can't show
the entire piece because that would just ruin the surprise.

I have become horribly addicted to making these knitted clothsfrom Messy Karen and I absolutely blame Lindsey for hooking me.
I promise it takes NO time to whip these up. They finish at
4" x 5" and are cute tied with a bar of special soap.
I can't resist this Blackbird Design pincushionI just need to figure out who I can stitch it for as a
Christmas gift so I can keep my word to work only on
Christmas gifts after the 1st of July.
Do you need a pincushion?
This stitching is one strand over one thread...not to be confused with my two strand over two threads
project. I can't work them on the same day or my eyes go loopy.
Some day I may crochet something other than these crochetedbandages....maybe...if I can find the time to learn a new stitch!
It doesn't help that I visit this blog and find myself green with envy.
Maybe making that afghan will be on my New Year's resolution list.

I know, I know!!!! They're so much fun...I made 2 today!
You do everything don't you? It is all I can do to find time to quilt. But I just have to quilt, if you know what I mean?
I could definitely use a new pincushion! I love that design.
I'm glad you are keeping with the resolution. I need to get started on Christmas ornaments soon. Have a blissful day!

You can never have toooo many pincushions!!!
Everything you're doing looks so fabulous! And I think everyone can always use another pincushion! Especially a pretty one like that!
I like the way your mind works. I'd love the pincushion if you insist. lol
I'd never heard of the cause for bandages before. Very interesting.
Thanks for the links for the knitted cloths. I am going to have to give those a try. I used to do counted cross stitch too, but oh my, one strand over one thread! I don't think I want to attempt that! You are brave and talented!
Ooh, someone (or someones) is getting some wonderful cross stitch Christmas presents!
First time visitor here and I'm in love with your blog - I've added you to my "List of Favorites" and will visit often.
BTW, the turtles on the right are adorable!!! I'll be back...
I have never cross stitched but now I am off for a class hopefully on Friday. I want to make a sampler and I love just the looks of yours.
I can't cross-stitch, my eyes see double! I do a little of knitting, your washclothes and pincushions are gorgeous. Good you have started early, you will have beautiful gifts made for everyone in your family!! I usually get 2 or 3 things made and that is all I get done (too much procrastination)
Great start!
I agree, that pincushion is really lovely:0)
Your stitchery is beautiful!!! Although I love crocheting and knitting, I have been totally occupied lately with sewing and quilting and Embroidery! It comes in spurts but I always have something to do that I love!!!
one can never have enough pin cushions!
I just love these samplers but the eyes are just not what they used to be
I have tried cross stitching again since I started wearing bifocals I struggle enough with hand quilting and usually take the glasses off so I can see!

There is nothing that the Blackbird ladies Barb and Alma do that I do not love.
I have the book with that pincushion and think it is beautiful.
I think whoever you make it for will be very lucky indeed.
