Winner of the GIVEAWAY... and a conversion for Mr Turkey.Valdani, Weeks Dye Works and DMC

Happy Sunday, 

I have a winner for the giveaway. It is Eva from Hungary , she is the only entry and the pumpkin is adorable. Please visit her site, follow her if you can. 

So the pumpkin head punch needle that I made is going on a far away trip to his new home. 

Thank you so much Eva. Your work made my day :)

Many of you have asked for a conversion for the Valdani threads for "Mr Turkey" punch needle. 

They were wonderful to use with nice shading and I also used Weeks Dye works for the cross stitch turkey. Many of you like DMC too so I made my own conversion for the 3 different fiber companies.

“Mister Turkey” Conversion Chart

I used Valdani 3 strand floss balls for the punch needle

 Weeks Dye for the Cross Stitch turkey 

These are my choices and they are not perfect but as close as I could choose. 

The DMC comparison should be blended or used as solids but alternating colors.

The choice is up to you. I hope this is helpful. donna.

I also have an announcement!!! I will be having a special design that is available on the Blog/Etsy. 

If you remember I mentioned long ago that I have been designing a 36 inch tall cross stitch scene. 

I have been working on this design for a few years. Always making changes. 

Well I finally finished it and will be offering it as a year long project. 

If you choose to participate you will be emailed a 3 inch by 11 inch section once a month to stitch. 

There will be a blog that you will be invited to publish on and share your photos.

 I still have to think of cute names and create the blog, the design is finished as a chart but of course I have not stitched it myself. We can do this project together. 

The cost will be $7.00 per month. You must sign up for the 12 months to complete this project and at the end I will be sending out to you a special  thank you kit made just for this class. 

So check back for more information and it should be fun. Plan on starting January 1st.
