LHN Birdhouse Alphabet

I was able to stitch the model for Little House Needleworks chart Birdhouse Alphabet.  It was so much fun stitching with the Crescent Colours Belle Soie silk floss.  It stitches up very quickly!

Framed LHN Family Sampler

Here is a picture of my framed Little House Needleworks Family Sampler. I went with a blue frame similar to the color of Crescent Colours Wavy Navy that I used on the house. It is proudly hanging in my family room!

LHN Family Sampler

I have been working on my Family Sampler from Little House Needleworks off and on for the last couple of years. I was blessed to stitch the model of this for Diane Williams and knew that one day I would stitch it for myself. Pictures just cannot do it justice!!! I changed colors for mine from the original to match my Americana decor. It's stitched on 32 ct linen from Sassy's Fabbys called Sable. I have loved every stitch that I put into this design so much that I would even stitch it again!!! I even took it in to be framed already and hope to have a picture to share next week of it framed!!

Little House Needleworks Tree Farm

I just finished a couple models and wanted to stitch up an ornament so I decided to stitch LHN's Tree Farm. I just loved the recommended 28 ct Tin Roof gingham fabric from Weeks Dye Works! I used the recommended floss except substituted Crescent Colours Spinach for the green.

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!

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.

LHN The North Wind

I finished stitching my January 1st project! This is Little House Needleworks The North Wind. It's stitched with the recommended Crescent Colours floss and Lakeside Linen fabric. I just love the color of this 32 ct Vintage Tundra fabric.
