I am so glad that everyone is enjoying the winter cross stitch freebie.
Thank you all for your wonderful emails and comments. I love sharing with you.
It is snowing once again here in Philadelphia, so I have been busy in my sewing studio working on some finishes. I am in full Valentine mode : )

This pattern is by Country Rustic Primitives. I've stuffed it with sawdust and used a little red and white french ribbon to attach a heart charm to the front of the pinkeep. It's backed with really beautiful pale red striped french general fabric. OOOH LA LA.

I love stitching this BBD design. I changed the wording from NOEL to Be Mine.
To me it really looks like a Valentine design. It's one of my favorite little boxes to make.
The inside is lined with a copy of a hand written love letter.

When I got done stitching this BBD design, called Maggie's Needlecase, it just seemed like it deserved to be framed. I don't do much framing of my pieces, but I love the way the colors in this sampler look surrounded by this wide black frame.

I'll leave you with this snowy picture of our garden.
The snow is very pretty, but I'm not much for cold weather anymore.
Stay warm and happy stitches to you.
