A Stitching Share from a stitching friend

 

Box of Winter

Thank you, Kathleen Hoyt for sharing your work.

She used Charles Craft 16 count platinum and 

a blend of DMC 644 and 927 instead of Weeks Dye Works Dove.

I found this link to convert Weeks to DMC and that is what she used :)

It looks wonderful :) 

Thank you, Kathleen, for sharing with us!!

A Little Progress

 

I have a little of my stitching to show you, I started the Home Sweet Home SAL. The first thing I am doing is working on the border so I am sure I am centered, I took the main layout with the motifs and since the border is 2 rows it is easy to make sure I am stitching by 10's.

For every 10 stitches I came down and added a stitch to the second row, then I did 10 more stitches and on #10 I made a stitch on the second row again...this makes it really easy to count by 10's and line everything up with the grids....I will then finish the second row as I go along and I do not need to count by the borders for anything else..

I also loosely outlined the scene area with DMC 3371 and 1 strand, I will be taking this out as soon as I have a start in that section and I will not need the outline any more...I will add a sky to the rest of the Rosewood Manor scene...

That's it for today..... more tomorrow...maybe?  haha we will see how the day goes

Happy stitching everyone

hugs

Winter Mitten coming soon

 

This little cross stitch pattern measures 4 x 4 

Stitch count is 50 x 50 and it was stitched on 25ct Victorian Red from Wichelt Imports

I have been looking for a deep dark red cross stitch fabric 

and finally found one...it's been a couple of years...and I LOVE it!!

I finished it with some deep red ticking fabric I have, 

Made it into a hanging pocket for some Pine Needles and/or red berries.

I wanted to add some needles but I could find them 

before I needed to take the picture....so fake berries it was!! haha

"Winter Mitten" will be coming soon to a needle shop.

Have a great day tomorrow(Tuesday)

hugs

donna
