Happy Dancing and Other Stitching

I have several photos to post tonight, so I’ll do it in clickable thumbnail fashion. As usual, click on the thumbnail to get a bigger, better picture.

First up, my two finishes for the 24 Hour Challenge on the Friends Gather BB. Yes, I did manage to stitch both of these within a 24-hour period, between 11 PM last night and 11 PM tonight. Yes, my wrists hurt. 😉 As you can see on the one, I have already done the backstitching to allow me to form the two into a tuffet pincushion. I expect to finish it by the end of the weekend, so probably a finish photo coming tomorrow night. The design is by Kristine Herber of Dragonfly Stitches, called Blackwork in the Round, and is available for free download as a member of her Yahoo! group.

The second set of photos are of my gifts to Karoline for the Valentine Exchange on the SBEBB. The first one is the Heart Sweet Bag, a freebie from The Victoria Sampler. The second one is the Teeny Tiny Love Bag, also a freebie from The Victoria Sampler.

    Way to go, Jenna! Your latest finishes are beautiful – the blackwork one will look great as a tuffet … and your VS bags are beautiful. I especially adore the larger bag, and it’s been printed off for stitching ‘one day’ 😉 Great job as always! :))

    Woot! What a beautiful project, all done in 24 hours!! Very nice and it counts on the Broadening your Stitching Horizons too. 😀
    Of course, your other projects are perfectly beautiful too!

    This is all so pretty, Jenna. The bags are exquisite! I will have to make the Heart Sweet bag some day, now that you’ve gotten me hooked to Hardanger 😉

    Hugs dearest friend 🙂
