2025 Embroidery Projects Roundup

2025 was a challenging year. I don’t have as many completed projects as some years, but I do have some very meaningful projects. Some of the more meaningful projects are tied to certain liturgical events or seasons and when that time period passes the stitching becomes less meaningful and I put it away to bring back out at that time period the following year.

Completed Projects:

A May dress for Morana and a midsummer dress, both with bits of redbud dyed cloth

Harvest altar cloth

Mezi Matičkama amulet bag

My first Moravian piece—Moravian grapes bag

Witches’ Nights amulet bag

Semi-Complete:

The front of the St. Clare’s Glade bag is complete, but I’m still working on the back

Incomplete pieces:

Another big finish! I guess it’s back to the frame shop. Now, I can get some new patterns and think about new projects.

After years of searching, and having a difficult time finding Western Slavic counted thread embroidery patterns, I just found my second vintage Czechoslovakian book in a couple of months. I’ll be anxiously checking the mail for the next couple of weeks! And my finds have fell close to Christmas and my birthday to justify the purchases!

This year I’ve challenged myself to a year of Czech and Slovakian altar cloths! So far I made one for Christmas and one for Hromnice with the book I purchased right before Christmas. And I’m working on one for Easter.
