LHN Snow White

I finished the project that I started on for the new year on January 1st. It is Snow White by Little House Needleworks. I stitched it on 30 ct Weeks Dye Works Blue Jeans linen with Crescent Colours Belle Soie silk floss in the color of Icing. I found I needed my Ott light and also the light of day to see the "holes" in this linen to stitch it....I must be getting older or need new glasses! HA! I am so happy with how it turned out!

CCN March Cottage

Here is a picture of the Country Cottage Needleworks March Cottage that I model stitched. I love the sheep on this one and I love the tall cottage. I just love this whole series!!

Works In Progress

I have a few Works In Progress (WIPs) that I want to concentrate on stitching this year. I took some pictures of them so hopefully I can see some progress on each one next month. The first one is my January 1st new start, LHN Snow White. I am stitching it on 30 ct WDW blue jeans linen with the recommended CC Icing silk.

The 2nd picture is my long forgotten LHN Family Sampler. I have a lot of color changes I'm putting into this one and really look forward to stitching on it this year.

The 3rd picture is of a WIP from a couple years ago! ACK! It is Drawn Thread's Sampler Gameboard. I'm stitching it using Vikki Clayton silks. I love this project but all the color changes caused it to go onto the back burner. I hope to "warm" it up this year.

And the last picture is a WIP that I've worked on off and on for a few years. It's Victoria Sampler's Christmas Village. It is so pretty in person!

Pledge of Allegiance

I started this Pledge of Allegiance this past summer and had it 2/3 stitched. I picked it up yesterday and finished it today. It's from Designs by Lisa and I stitched it on the recommended 32 ct Ocean Kiss linen. I decided to leave the border off and changed the colors. The colors I used were Crescent Colours Wavy Navy, Apple Fritter and Toasted Marshmallow and GAST Wrought Iron for the lettering.

Pine Mountain February Expressions

I stitched this Pine Mt. February Expressions pillow for a birthday present for my sister next month. This is from their 2010 monthly series.

First finish of 2012

I finished this little ornament for a blue exchange for a yahoo group I belong to. It's from La-D-Da in the JCS 2010 Christmas ornament magazine. It's called 'Tis Red but I stitched it in blue. I used Vikki Clayton Blueberry Soup silk floss and stitched it on a piece of Sassy's 14 ct tan marble aida. Today I'm starting LHN Snow White for my Jan. 1st piece.
