A Stitcher's Finish

Happy Saturday!

It's just a beautiful day here in

Philly and I have been spending it

with my needle and thread.

My TDIPT sister, Patti
of Winding Vine Wanderings

sent me a picture of her recent

finishes using my Harvest Moon pattern.

She stitched these up for

Notforgotten Farm's 4th Annual 

Gathering of Primitive Friends, which is 

happening today.


I always love the spin Patti puts on things and
how she adds her own touch to a design.   
Aren't they great!
I love them.  Thanks for sharing Patti.

Hope your day is filled with fun
and many stitches :) 
Smiles,

A Stitcher's Finish

Hi friends. I know it's been awhile.  

This is quite a busy time of year

for all of us and I have been 

spending every spare moment

decorating and stitching for my

TDIPT post on Wed. night.
* * * * *

I have a Stitcher's Finish

to show you.

Both of these finishes are

done by my sweet pal, Dora.

She sent me these awhile

ago, but with all that is

going on these days, I just

haven't had a chance to 

post them.

Check out these 

pretties....

She stitched the Christmas freebie.

Done on osnaburg with silver eyelash

trim.  Wow! so pretty.

She has also stitched Harvest

Moon.

I love the crocheted lace. Gives it 

such a vintage look.

Thank you so much Dora for sharing 

your wonderful finishes.

Until next time, enjoy the season
and happy stitching.

Threadwork Primitives and TDIPT 

have made it into PRIMS magazine.

I am very excited and honored 

to have a piece of my work 

published in the Autumn 2011

issue.  They have done a super

10 page spread on our TDIPT

(To Dwell in Primitive Thymes)

group and have featured my

"Harvest Moon" pin pillow, along

with many other of my fellow TDIPT

artist's creations.

I would like to thank Karen Brady of

Brady Bears Studios for working
so hard on this idea and writing such a
wonderful article about our group.

 Please drop by TDIPT Mercantile 

tonight for their update.

Smiles,

A Weekend of Stitching

Hi all.  Thank you very much to everyone 

for their comments on the new patterns 

and to everyone who purchased them.  

The first shipment was sent 

out on Friday, so you should 

have them very soon.

* * * * * * *

It was a stitching weekend for me

and I got a few things done

and one big accomplishment.

I have a design that I started

about a year ago.  I stitched and

planned on turning it into a 

sewing roll.  It has sat on my studio

floor just staring at me all this time.

I just never seemed to have the time to give

it the attention it was going to need

and I am not like that.  I never let things

sit around.

Yesterday I just couldn't look at 

it sitting there unfinished anymore, so 

I got to work on it and put the final 

stitches in it late last night.

Here it is......

Stitched on 30ct linen with

Gentle Art threads.

The back and inside pocket are done

using stained silk matka

and the flower using scraps of 

over dyed wool.

I really like how it turned out and I am

so glad I took some time to finish it.

* * * * * * *

I also completed a pinkeep 

using my Harvest Moon design.

and an itty bitty wool pumpkin on 

a prim painted box.  

Can you tell that

I am so into the Halloween 

season?

Well, back to stitchin'.

Thanks for stopping by.
