Yoo Hoo......

I started a new project on Friday. I am using Tavern Signs by Carriage House Samplings to stitch a welcome sign for DS. I am using 40ct Palomino and stitching with the suggested DMC fibers.





I got 2 projects back from the framers last week!






A is for Acorn by Hillside Sampler and Where My Heart Blooms by Blackbird Designs.

Thanks for stopping by,

Traveling to a Finish

My Traveling Stitcher, LHN is almost finished. I have decided to change the color to the stitcher's dress (I am really not a pink kind of girl). The pink for the blossoms is very pale and doesn't show up very well on my fabric do I think I will change this to blue as well. I hope I will be able to finish it this weekend.


I have been working on Blackbird Designs, Where My Heart Blooms for the last few weeks and I finally have a finish.

My Weekend Stitcing

My stitching over the weekend was divided between 3 projects, Where My Heart Blooms, Traveling Stitcher and Easter Parade. Yes, I have started yet another project. EP was on my wish list ever since I saw it stitched. Dyeing to Stitch had the chart and I was able to get it there along with the fibers I needed. I hope to have it done in time for Easter and finish as a pillow.

My exchange piece has made its way to Becky. I am so happy that it arrived safely. Red is Becky's favorite color so I stitched this for her.


Both designs are from the Ackworth Pattern Book. They are stitched in DMC 815.

I took part in a Christmas Ornament Exchange on HoE blog. This is my ornament. It took the long way from South America. Thank you Janaina! This now my first finished ornament for 2009.

Happy Stitching,

Gwen

First Week's Report.

This first week of the New Year I have worked on 3 projects. On the first I started stitching "G" by Gigi. I am working from the upper left, top down. I am stitching with Splendor D906 but, I think I will need to add another color.

Lettres Gigi "G"
Designer: Gigi R

As I continue with my Friday night stitching with Let's Stitch, I was able to finish most of the roof on Where My Heart Blooms (WMHB). The house has large areas of solid cross stitches so I had thought of stitching the house in long arm cross. Since the house does have some color changes I am not sure I can execute it well. I will have to try it and see if I like the results.

My third piece of stitching this past week was on an exchange project. No pictures to share of course that will have to come later.
