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!
