A Stitcher's Finish

Happy Sunday all.  I got an email and a picture last week from my friend Sharon.

Her blog is http://moosecraftusa.blogspot.com/

I'm sure many of you have visited her blog, but I wanted to post her finish here too.

Here's what she wrote me.....

Hi Nan!  I finally did it!  When this pattern arrived in my greedy little hands, I picked out the linen and threads... and stitched on it every minute I could find!  And, I finally finished it yesterday. :-) This has to be my favorite Autumn design to date.

Sharon used the charted DMC threads, but substituted 32 ct. Foglifter's Blend by R&R because that's what was in her stash.  The wool in the picture is what she used for the backing and it's stuffed firm with wool snippets and finished up at 5-1/2" x 7-1/2"

Well, my dear Sharon, it is really awesome.  I'm so glad you like the design and that it was a fun stitch.  Thank you so very much for sharing it.   It's the first I've seen done.  You sure got right to it and now have plenty of time to enjoy it.  Super!

Many Smiles, 

~Nan

A Post Before My Getaway

Yep, I'm headed out to do a little dog sitting for a 

friend for a few days.  I LOVE doggies, so there 

will be lots of cuddles and kisses :)

Since I will be away I thought I'd show you the 

Halloween piece that I finished stitching up today. 

 I still have to do the  finishing on it, but that 

will have to wait till my return.

Meet......"Beggar's Night"

I really get into decorating for Halloween, so I knew

I wanted to design something special for it this year.

I must say I'm quite pleased with how it 

stitched up.  Stitched on 35ct R & R Reproductions
Abecedarian Blend linen with DMC floss.

The model will be on display in the 
R & R Reproductions Room #612

at the TNNA show next month.

So, look for the release then.

I also wanted to show you what my friend Sharon
stitched up.  Her blog is MousecraftUSA
"Ohio Treasure Sampler"

 How absolutely gorgeous.  She changed it up a bit
and stitched it  on 30ct R & R Cafe Kona with the
called for Gentle Art floss if she had it. If not
she used the DMC substitution or whatever she had
that was close to the color.
WOW....A real make do sampler.
I love it so much Sharon.      Swoon :)))
Thanks my friend for stitching it so beautifully and
sharing it too.
Well, better get packed.  I'm taking lots of stitching
with me.  Thanks for stopping by and can't wait to
hear what you think of Beggar's Night!
Hugs, ~Nan
