Ruby

Good morning :

I have not been posting as much as I would like :(

Busy stitching away! and cleaning the house and working on taxes !!

Here is a picture of what I have been stitching lately

I decided to make some limited number of Kits for small embroideries.

This one is called "Ruby"...and I LOVE flowers

It is stitched on 18ct linen with Paternayan crewel wool. 

I will have some kits available and also have the design as a 

PDF. This will let you choose your own colors and fibers.

The pattern could also be traced onto Weavers Cloth

 and used for Punch Needle. 

Ruby should be ready in a day or two.

I am already working on another....

This one will be called "Addison" after my grand-daughter

They are so much fun...I love to stitch freely...

its a nice break from counting, HAHA

Have a great day and I will post again soon

hugs

Having a Giveaway

A few days ago when we were having our snow storm, 

 good time for stitching...

I had cross stitched one of the Stitch An Inch Flower Garden flowers...

and since I love dimension,, what could be done for this flower?

And so I added some needle lace, padded satin stitches and french knots

and now to finish it .....

I finished with a wool circle and stuffed it to be a pincushion...My stitching was not the best on the corners...and I wasn't going to give up, so I decided to add some wool leaves to those corners along with some beads and more french knots.

And then the giveaway...

Please leave me a message (Comment) on this post 

and I will add your name to the hat...the drawing will be this

 Sunday the 27th...

good luck

:)
