A Stitcher's FInish

Hope you are all having a 

wonderful weekend.  

I am keeping busy, as always,

there is lots to do, but I am stitching too. 

Mostly for a friend's birthday in

September, so there is nothing

that I can show right now.

I can show you the two finishes 

that Dora (no blog) sent to me

last week.

I think they are both wonderful.

She said the pictures were taken

at Pickity Place in New Hampshire. 

First is "A Bee's Bounty"

She stitched this using
32ct Apple Brown Bindy from R & R

and folded the lining fabric over the edge

to the front of the bag.  She said it was a nice touch of color for the top and a little bit of stability for holding

the wildflowers.  I love the way the fabric looks on the top.

Next she stitched "A Bee's Gathering".

 This was stitched on a piece of 32ct mystery linen.
Dora, they are both really beautifully done. I love them and I just want to thank you for stitching them and for sharing your finishes with all of us.
Until next time.
Happy Stitching!

Worth the Wait?

Thank you all for your patience while waiting for

this new release and 3rd design in the Bee Series.

It's been one of those weeks, but now it's time

to show you what my busy needle has done.

Here is a sweet little pin roll called

"A Bee's Gathering".

This model was stitched on 32ct R & R Reproductions

Creme Brulee linen using Weeks and
Gentle Art floss,but a DMC conversion
has also been provided.

This is such a handy thing to have.
I just love using mine.

Here is my collage of the Series.

Now the other surprise.

The new sampler design is all framed and is

so beautiful.  Don't you think?

Meet "Ann's Sampler" 

I designed this sampler especially for my dear friend
Ann Robbins of Dyeing to Stitch
and R & R Reproductions. 

Just like Ann, it makes me smile.  I'm so
happy that we are friends.
This is stitched on 32ct Abecedarian Blend
with Weeks and Gentle Art floss.  A DMC
conversion has been provided for this design also.

I hope you like the new designs.  They will be
available at your local needlework shop soon
 and I have added them to my Etsy Shop.

Thank you for taking time out of your busy
summer to stop by and visit.
Many happy stitches,
~Nan

A Quick Hello

Hi all.  Well, I thought I'd get to show you pics 

of the next  bee design that's all finished.

Alas, there are just not enough

hours in this day. I can tell you that I'm over the 

top pleased with how it turned out and 

I've named it "A Bee's Gathering"

My friend, Mimi is coming for a visit tomorrow 

and bringing the frame for my new sampler design.

Here's another sneak peak?

 It really is a beautiful little sampler and one 

that is very special to me.

I hope to get this in the frame and 

show you the full reveal by next week.

I'll try to have the pics of 

"A Bee's Gathering" for you on

Wed. since I won't get much done tomorrow

other than a special lunch and lots of play time :)  

x x x x 

I'll leave you with a picture of the SAL

I've been working on.  Hosted by Soed Idee.

 It's all done and the frame is on order.

Very Classic.  

 Until next time. Happy Stitching!
