Happy Stitching
I finished Eve's Garden by Shepherd's Bush. I love their samplers. They are a joy to stitch. This one was especially fun because you can see that Adam is so very, very excited to see Eve !! Too much fun in store for Adam !!
I was quick enough to snag the Snow Bird Kit from With Thy Needle and Thread. The stitching was quick and I loved the colors. I just need to finish it up into the snowflake stand. It may be my one and only Christmas decoration. Oh no, wait, I have a berry wreath that I'll hang my Blackbird Designs stockings on for the front door. That'll probably be it.
I started another piece. This is Winter Floral Sampler by Knotted Tree NeedleArt. I'm stitching it on Lakeside Linen 40 Ct. Vintage Pear using the called for NPI Silks. I love the colors. I've raised quite a few beautiful peach poinsettia's so this stitching this design has pleasant memories associated with it. I also love to stitch Cardinals. I have several stitched pieces with Cardinals on them hanging around my home.
Thanks for stopping by. And, remember during this busy holiday season…take time to stitch.
