A Stitcher's Finish

Still battling this chest cold and yet it's back to 

work tomorrow.  Yikes!

I have tried to rest up as best as I could

this weekend and spent most of my 

time keeping my hands busy stitching.

Not much energy for much else :(

xxxxxxx

I have 2 wonderful finishes to show you

today that were just recently sent into me.

This Bluebird Sampler finish was done

by my friend from across the pond, Michelle.

She got this stitched up quite quickly and

framed it for her wall of cross stitched 

Bird pieces.  What a great idea.

 xxxxxxx

Next, Mouse sent in her Bloom Sampler
finish that she made into a cushion.
Love the embellishments!  How sweet.

Thanks girls for sending these in for all of us
to see. 
Now back to resting.  
Happy Stitching.

Hi all.  I've really been under the weather the past week

with an awful chest cold, but I wanted to let you

know that the TDIPT Mercantile is turning 5 

and is having a giveaway of some incredible gifts

created by the artists.

My offering for the celebration

is this primitive sawdust stuffed cross stitch 

and wool pinkeep.

Best of luck to all !

*A Stitcher's Finish*

I received another finish from Terri

at http://www.dixiesamplar.com/

and I just had to post it to show you all. 

This time she stitched Schoolgirl Blossoms.
The fabric and the ribbon are a perfect 
compliment to the colors in the sampler.
Just beautiful Terri.

I've been stitching up a storm and hope to 
have lots of pics to show you.  
My TDIPT update is Tuesday night
and I have almost everything done.
I hope to show you all that I've been working 
on in the next day or so.
*****
Two new patterns are also in the works.
One is being framed by my bestie as
we speak.  Hope to have them both 
released by months end or maybe 
before!
~*~
As always, thank you for taking the time
to visit and for all your wonderful comments and
support of my craft. 
You always make me smile :)

Thanks again Terri for letting 
me post your lovely finish.  Keep on stitchin'.
Smiles,
~Nan 

*Another Stitcher's Finish*

Hi Again....

Oh, how I love seeing these.  Yep, another finish

to show you.  Take a look at these beauties.

These were stitched by Bonnie, who is know for

working on 48 count linen. Wowsa!
They measure a mere 4" and 5" wide.  How sweet.

She used all DMC and walnut stained them.
She'll be adding a string to hang them.

Great stitching Bonnie and thanks so 
much for sharing pictures of your work 
with us.
Until later, have a wonderful week
and happy stitching.
~Nan
