*A Stitcher's Finish*

Hi folks!

First, I wanted to say A BIG THANK YOU 

to all of you who have purchased

the new Falling Snow and Endless Hearts

cross stitch patterns.
THANK YOU VERY MUCH!

I am working on another prim pattern as

I write this.  Can't wait to show you.

~*****~

Now to a stitcher's finish.

I had to show you this wonderful finish

from dear Terri of 

http://www.dixiesamplar.com/

She stitched Bluebird Sampler into 

this beautiful little pillow with a scissor fob

for her friend Carol.

 The floss is Crescent Colours overdyed threads 

(blue corn, joshua tree, hazelnut, and queen bee), 

and finished with Civil War repro fabric and 

some antique ecru lace.

I'm sure Carol will cherish this lovely piece.

Thanks so much for sharing your finish

Terri.  I love seeing all the 

creativity that stitchers have.

Keep on stitchin'

Smiles,

Two New Cross Stitch Patterns!

As I had mentioned back in December, I was

in the designing and stitching mode.   I diligently worked

on a Winter inspired sampler.

So here is my 

"Falling Snow Sampler"

This hanging sampler is done on 32ct 

Tan Linen by 

FabricFlair using GA and WDW

floss and of course some wool

from Ram in the Thicket.

* * *

And I just had to do something

for Valentine's Day. 

Here is "Endless Hearts"

This sweet pinkeep was stitched on 30ct R&R

Dark Cappuccino linen using GA Old Hickory

and WDW Cayenne. 

* * *

Both patterns are $10.00 and can be purchased

from me via email or through my

Etsy Shop
* * * 
I still have two other patterns that I'm working on
and I really can't wait to share them with you.

Thanks for taking the time to stop by and visit.
Wishing you many happy stitches.

TDIPT Update Already

My, it seems like I just made an update to TDIPT.

I guess with the hectic pace of the holidays, time

really flies by. 

Anyway, I'll be listing all my new pieces on TDIPT 

tonight and would love it if you could stop by and

take a look.

Here's a peek :)

Humility and Valentine Wreath Pinkeeps

Hope you can stop on by and see all the creations

from all the TDIPT artists.

Have a great night.

A Stitcher's Finish

Good Evening my friends.  I do hope you all

had a nice New Year's Day.

Mine was spent quietly stitching and 

enjoying the company of my dear 

hubby and our little doggie, Shannon.

It was the perfect day.

* * * 

A few photos have been sent in

for "A Stitcher's Finish" and I wanted 

to take this opportunity, while I had some

quite time, to share them with you.

First is Dora's finish of Kringle's Crow. 

She stained the linen, which I love and found

some vintage trim at a mill store at a real bargain.

I just love it.  Such a wonderful finish and

the trim adds just the right touch.

* * *

Next Debra sent in her needle roll finish of 

Be Ye Merry.

She stitched this for a holiday

exchange and her recipient loves

the color blue. 

Just adorable and I'm sure

the new owner loves her gift.

* * *

Well, time to sign off and get some

sleep.  Thank you Dora and Debra

for sharing your finishes. 

I always love seeing the abundance of 

creativity that is out there and I'm sure

all my blogging friends do too.

Smiles,

~Nan

2012

Looking forward to a brand new year and wishing

you all the best it can bring. 

Thank you for your friendship and

all your inspiring comments. 

HAPPY NEW YEAR !

To All of You

Can't get enough of Holiday Stitching

First, I would like to thank all of you who

took the time to visit TDIPT last week

for the December update.  

I am always humbled by your

support and patronage.

~***~

I got a few other pieces finished and

I love to post these for you to see.

* * * *

I've stitched 2 primitive heart pinkeeps.

The left is motifs from Blackbird 

Designs and the other is just a little

motif of mine.

They're stuffed with sawdust and 

backed with ticking and homespun.

* * * * 

Next is a freebie I stitched from Pineberry Lane that I found

on Patternmart.

When I saw it I was just so inspired that I had to stitch

it right away.  I think I copied it right down to the last 

detail, but I just love it so.

This is so prim.  I'm not sure if you can see

them well, but there are tiny little jingle bells

stitched to each corner.

Wendy is probably one of my most favorite 

designers and I'm sure many of you agree.

* * * *

I also stitched up a little reproduction fabric ditty bag

with a small hanging pinkeep.

I love using wool these days and added

wool holy and some of my French ribbon

I collect.

* * * *

I'm stitching a new Winter Sampler design.

 I have a feeling my friend Marianne from  

Midnight Stitching will be happy to hear this news.

I hope to have this done for release at the

beginning of the year.

Thank you again for your visits to my 

blog and enjoy this wonderful season.

Blessings,

~Nan
