Biscornu from Nita

Nita you did a fantastic Job stitching this biscornu.  The pattern is so pretty and dainty, I love that you stitched our initials and year on the reverse side, very creative.
               
                           Thank You!!

Hello Spring by Lizzie Kate

I received this in a Pillow Exchange that I participated in.  Even though there was a bit of trouble getting to me, I was glad it arrived,  It is stitched and finished with lots of care, the lovely bow is a nice finish.

As you can tell I haven't been posting over the summer.  For me summer is so short and so I take the time to enjoy the beautiful weather, plant my garden & flowers and spend quality time with my children and husband.

When the first leaf falls from the tree and the wind becomes crisper and colder..... that is when my stitching bug comes back.  So until then, I hope you take the time to enjoy your summer! 

Have a great one, be safe!!

Hen Party by LHN

This was given to me as a gift for helpiong out a friend.  I really like this one, I find the hens are so cute and I love the beads that are used to bring out the corn.

LKE From Becky

My R4 LK arrived and it is so beautiful. What a beautiful finish and such a great design!!

I LOVE IT

Thank you Becky

Winter Forest Framed

I just wanted to show a post of my Snowflake Tree that came back from the framers.  I decided to put it in a frame rather than to make it into a cushion.  I tried to choose a frame that looked a little more like wood bark to match it.

What do you think?
Have a great day!!

My Biscornu from Karen

This is the lovely biscirnu that I had the pleasure to receive from Karen.  You really hit the nailonthe head with this one.  I love the fabric/thread color as well as the design. 

Thank you for this beauty that I will always treasure...

Thank you

Petals and Purrs by Cross Stitch Collection

When my mom first saw the cat in the magazine she fell head over heals for it.  Unfortunately we did not buy the magazine that day and when we went back for it, it was already gone... SOLD OUT!!  I was lucky enough to be a member in a forum and made a request for the magazine.  After anxiously waiting I got an email back with someone who was willing to part with it.

Today I present you the kitten finished.  I will be giving this to my mom on Mother's Day.  I will be taking it to the framers this Saturday.  I will update another picture when I get it back framed.  She will be SO happy when she sees this, it has taken 4 years to get this done for her!!
Design was pucbished in Cross Stitch Collection May 2006

A beautiful palette of creams and browns has been used to create a lifelike

appearance to the kitten's fur

Tralala!!

Here are some charts I recently purchased.  I had fallen in love with "Chicken Love" when I first saw it.  Also my youngest daughter is crazy for Cows and so I thought that I had to stitch "Petite Vache" for her.  This will be my first time stitching from this designer but I am sure they will be great!! I will now go and see if I have the colors to start the cow :)
