*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 
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,

Pleased To Annouce

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
* * *
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.

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
