Oh my goodness...look what I just found

 

Anchor has started making their 6 stranded cotton floss 

onto spools.....no more winding floss on bobbins and getting knots. 

It looks so exciting, 

I think I will try some for my designs, but I still will give the DMC alternative.

OH they look LOVELY!!

I found this in a flyer from Joann Fabric

Busy stitching

 Happy Wednesday!

 I made another sample for the "Stitch & Quilt Textile Fragments"

That's what I am calling this new line of a little bit of cross stitching/embroidery and a bit of quilting along with whatever works, HAHA

This sample has the fabrics laid out a bitt different and the Bee and Bee Skep have been embroidered instead of cross stitched.

I am just waiting for the photos to come in and then the kits will be ready!

It is a limited edition since I only purchased so much fabric and all of the extras to go along with it. 

But I am also working on something else...very similar but it will be a 9 x 9 and not a 5 x 7.

It will have stripes, flowers, and a center saying.....

You'll have to wait for more when I can share a picture which should be by the end of the weekend,

 I Hope

Have a good Day or evening depending on when you read this.

Can't Believe its been over a month since my last post

 

These a  couple of things I've been working on..

A new cross stitch design called

"Sail Away"

I will be making some 5 x 7 Textile quilts with some added needlework

They will have monthly themes...

So I have my thinking caps on.

I hope you are having a good summer!!

Raising and Stitching Chickens!!

 

I have added a couple of oldie designs! to the Etsy shop!

They have been added as PDF's

I forgot all about these 2 Farm Yard Friends.

I made them in 2006.

I know of so many people that are raising chickens.

I thought it would be a good idea to re-release these.

To being self sufficient and healthy 😊💗

Happy Farming and stitching!!
