Looky what came in the mail today!

My dear and very sweet friend Nancy,

from Victorian Motto Sampler Shoppe

sent me some of her new floss colors, 

fresh from the dye pots.

Along with a little note to make me

smile!

She dyed 18 more colors today that

you just have to check out.

Russets, which I LOVE,

more greens and blues.

I see some floss shopping in

my future : )

Thank you so much Nancy

for the wonderful surprise and

your kindness and thoughtfulness.

 Love ya.

I do have a bit of a surprise for you,

but you'll have to wait till tomorrow.

I'll be revealing my mini sampler

that you saw a sneak of in a few 

previous posts, along with another 

finish.

Yes, I've been busy too :D

I also want to show you

a Stitcher's Finish that 

Bonnie sent me a picture of

 the other day.

 

She stitched "A Bee's Blessing"

on 45ct. linen over 2 threads and then  

walnut stained it.    It came out to 

be 3 1/4" w x 2 1/8" h.

It's mounted on a wooden oval disk

backed with gold wool and trimmed

  with chenille.

What a great finishing idea.

Wonderful stitching Bonnie and I love

the staining too.

   Thanks for sharing it with us.

Many smiles,

~Nan  

              

New Design ~ A Bee's Blessing

Good morning all !

I am so excited to finally show

you the new design I've had in the

works since probably November and

I've been dreaming of Spring and

the flowers and bees for quite 

awhile now.

  I am working on a few more, 

but I just didn't want to wait 

any longer and since it's all

good to go, the anticipation

was just too much :)

 "A BEE'S BLESSING"

 The larger box was stitched

on 32ct R & R French Vanilla

and the smaller box was stitched 

on 40ct R & R Mink using

WDW Shneckley and GA

Burlap and Pecan Pie.
(a DMC conversion list is 
also provided)

Complete instructions on how to 

cover the boxes are included with

the design.   

One is trimmed in stained chenille

and the other has tiny x's stitched

around the top. 

I hope to add this chart to my  

Etsy shop later on today or you may

email me at  

threadworkprimitives@verizon.net

I hope you're as excited about this

this design, as I am.   I really enjoyed 

stitching this one.  Can you tell?  

As always, thank you so much for 

visiting my humble blog and for

all your wonderful comments.

Happy day and happy stitching!

~Nan
