Sharing Jocelyn's beautiful stitching

 

 Jocelyn Rhindress shared with me her stitching.

Oh my goodness, she did a wonderful job..

She shared this with me in May but I forgot to share it...

Sorry, sometimes I am not as good at multi-tasking as I use to be!!

This is the size of the frame 9 x 49

It is just wonderful and so BIG!!

Sharing Pats stitching

 

Good afternoon, I wanted to share with you some stitching. 

 Pat from Lebanon PA finished

 "The Nubble" 

It is one of her and her husbands favorite places to visit, 

I told her I live so close but hardly visit.....

but when I do it is relaxing. 

Well I am off to the post office and the grocery store...the usual things haha!!

Have a great weekend and keep stitching

Tidal River #1 ...stitched by Joan

A Share from Michelle and the winner for the giveaway is.......

"Box Of Summer "   

Michelle decided to leave out the word "Summer" and add some clouds 

so she could leave it up for a longer period of time!! Great idea

And she finished a free Summer Mystery Sampler that I had in 2012...She left the alphabet out because of the blue background.....Here is a link to that Mystery Sampler 

I want to thank Michelle for sharing her work with us...I just love everyone's creativity!!! and I enjoy seeing the changes you make along the way.

I have a new Facebook Group for all of us that love to change things and be creative. If you are on Facebook the name of the group is "Handwork With Flax and Wool"  

 I only have 3 followers.....haha but it will grow !! Patience 

I did the drawing this morning for the Bag Giveaway.....I printed off the names of everyone that left me a message and put them in my large popcorn bucket!!

And then I grabbed a piece of paper and the winner is.....

Marlene.....so Marlene if you could email me with your mailing address 

I will send the bag out to you...

Congratulations!! and thank you to everyone that left me a message...it was great hearing from you again.....well I am off to do some cross stitching for a new design.....have a good day and maybe we can keep in touch in the Facebook Group too

Betsy is sharing her finish of Serenity Harbor

The piece was stitched by Betsy Minor who is a client and stitcher at Country Cupboard in Orland Park, IL. She changed the colors of the flowers and large house to yellow which complements the piece nicely. The "finishing" was done by Karen Jablonski of "Averyclaire NeedleArts" . She added a matching cotton backing, handmade cording and hand painted dowel and finials. 

And I have to say it looks beautiful....I love the changes and the finish with a dowel hanger is wonderful....Thank you Betsy & Karen for sharing.

A Share from Lori of Serenity Harbor

Lori is sharing her finished work on Serenity Harbor. She stitched it on 28ct Lugana over (1).

Beautiful framing also......THANK YOU so much Lori for sharing with us.....Great job!!

A SHARE FROM CARRIE

Happy Friday, 

I have been busy stitching and I am late on July's free "Affirmation" but it is ready to go and so is the August affirmation word :)

It is just so hot up here in the office. No air conditioning and I am working on fall things just anxiously waiting for the crisp fall air and those beautiful fall colors, but I am missing the wonders of summer :(

Busy working on the newsletter with the two new words "Strong" and "Compassionate" 

I will also share a new wool table mat that I am working on for the fall. 

But just needed to share some work from Carrie.

She was kind enough to send me a picture of her "Serenity Harbor"

Just wonderful and the framing is perfect. It's so big :)

Thank you Carrie!!

Sharing Day :)

Today I am sharing with you some stitching projects that other stitchers have shared with me......

This is from Lynn. She made "Sandy Bird"... I happened to have a kit left from a class and Lynn made some modifications so "Sandy" would fit in her moms antique birdcage.
Well done :).....thank you Lynn for sharing....i love it!! 

This is from Jackie....she is a very devoted stitcher ....she lives in Fryeburg Maine and no matter how she is feeling she always makes time to stitch....just beautiful, thank you Jackie for sharing....you'll get there before me :) 

This is the Tidal River Series that Janice stitched. It is just beautiful....I have mine stitched as 3 separate sections for the photos for the charts but I do wish I had it stitched them all as one long scene.......maybe I can figure a way to seam them together....
Thank you Janice for sharing !!

Dont forget if you have some stitching you would like to share I would be honored to share your work and if you are working on the "Affirmation" words...send those along to...

thank you again
