Allxx's July IHSW




The SWAT is over and so is the  IHSW and I tried to stitch and stitch and stitch over this past  week so that I would have lots and lots to show unfortunately I didn’t get as much done as I would have liked.  The first part of the week I worked on my project “Banu”  I am still on part 6, I finished the two rows of solid x’s and the two rows of backstitches and started on the leaf bunches.  I have done so many that I don’t even have to look at the chart.  I was seeing leaves with my eyes closed so I had to switch to something else.

I caught up on the 25 days of Christmas in July by Sunshine Stitcher, this is a beautiful little chart and it really stitches up quick and easy.

Next I promised my DD that I would stitch something for her BF, his birthday is in August so I finished stitching this Lion for him.  Now I can finish it as a trivet since he loves to cook.

Last but not least I ended up last night working on of course one of my forever projects African Women.  It doesn’t look like there was any progress but the green section of the shirt was only half stitches which most now have been crossed.

I did get the fourth part of my Papillon Creations “Around the World” and I am excited to get started on it so that may be picked up today.
Blogger tells me that I now have 99 followers, that is fantastic!! Right now for some reason I can only see 86, I hope I will be able to figure out who is number 100. There may be something special for them.
Thank you all for stopping by and I off to make some wonderful little xxs.
