Little Penguin Quilts Through the Year

Little Penguin Quilts Through the Year

It's time for some turkeys!

I stitched this Turkey Mini Sampler last November, and then put it away to fully finish this year.


Yesterday I changed out the decor on my little chest for November, and set the turkey sampler out with Gobble Gobble and Give Thanks.  These are all PinkernPunkin designs.

Thank you, Melisa!

In my daily stitching, here's how I ended October.


And then I started on November!  This month's shapes are completely different than last month's, so they will be a fun challenge. 

The purple flowers I stitched there are to celebrate that I still have purple alyssum blooming in my garden!  See my photo of them in my Thursday post.

What a cute turkey sampler! You are such a good advertisement for Melisa's beautiful cross stitch patterns. Your stitching project is just beautiful. I love that you included that cute pumpkin print.

Just a lovely end to October in your stitching, Diann. The beginning of November is looking great--love the little purple flowers...fun shapes to fill in. I am done with my COL and have attached it to a bobbin--not crazy about it though,,kind of disappointed...I think my next effort will feature fabrics in all blocks--we shall see--these sqs are just too small for my comfort...my hand drawing tends to the larger side..s i g h....
Hugs, Julierose

I love your November display! Your daily stitch samplers are fantastic. How did you decide on the shapes?

Kate said...

Melisa puts out some very fun designs. If I ever get back into counted cross stitch some of her house designs will be first on my list. Your turkey's look great, they make a very festive table. Enjoy your slow stitching today.

where and how do you store all these month bits to keep them wrinkle free all year round? I always have a problem with storage.

Fun November decor! Your daily stitching will be more fun with the background being a different shape. I like how you ended October:)

Turkey sampler is really cute, Diann, and I love your November decor!! Your daily stitching with new shapes for this month is so cool. Will you make a quilt with them?

Jenny said...

Gobble, gooble, Mr Turkey. Do you get daily prompts for your stitching project, or make it up as you go along?

Your small samplers always make a great display. Love the little pumpkin in your October stitching. Nice to be working on a different shape for November too. Sarah quilting by the sea

Your turkeys are adorable, Diann. And your display is perfect for November. I love that you added some pumpkin fabric to the Oct. 31st block on your COL. I enjoy seeing your progress on this project. You are so creative with it.
