Blackbird Designs Beneath the Sunlit Sky

I stitched this design that is completely different than designs I usually stitch. Of course I made quite a few changes from the original to better match the colors of my home. I stitched it on the recommended 30 ct Sea Fog linen.

LHN Patience

I had the honor of stitching a block on my friend Kim's round robin. Her RR is the LHN Dear Diary Sampler of Virtues and this chart is was the one from Abigail Winslow called patience. Ironically I was busy stitching some models at the time I had Kim's RR and she needed plenty of patience with me because it took me awhile to get it stitched. Thanks Kim!

LHN Be True

I finally have a finish I can show! I have just finished stitching 4 models back to back. I'll show those only after they have been released. But I do have something to show now!!! This is Be True from Little House Needleworks. I stitched it on the recommended 32 ct natural raw linen with DMC floss. I did make a couple of changes though. I made most of the hearts in the darker DMC color and only one of the hearts in the lighter color. I also changed the blue from DMC 502 to DMC 3750 so it would match my color scheme better. I just love this quote!

Butterfly Bungalow

I stitched the model for 1 of the 3 patterns in Country Cottage Needleworks newest release called Summer Retreats. They are such fun charts and stitch up quickly! You can see it here. I've been busy stitching but nothing else I can post yet! : )

Present for my sister's birthday

I stitched Lizzie Kate's Pie for my sister for her birthday present. I used the fabric and buttons included with the kit. It's tucked inside a Stitch-A-Gift tuck....my favorite way of "finishing"! LOL! :) The chart called for the entire bottom to be filled in with the same color floss used for the glass dome over the pie. I didn't think it added anything to the design so just left it. :)

CCN Bayside Bungalows

I had the wonderful honor of stitching this for Nikki (Country Cottage Needleworks). It was her new release for the market and she has the finished picture on her sight here.

The colors on this are so fun and I've picked out the blue house on the right end as my bungalow. So who's moving in next to me??

Letters from Nora "J"

I see that "J" from Letters from Nora has now been released so I can now post my finish of the model. I thought of my friend Julie and her daughter Jessica when I was stitching this one. I actually enjoyed all the beads on this project even though green isn't my favorite color! HA! :) She's a cute little fairy though and I have to say even cuter in person!
