Coffin Buzz

As many of you know, I haven't stitched or designed a thing for almost 2 years. About 2 months ago it was nagging me how many unfinished projects I have, so I pulled one out and finished it. That spurred me on to start something new and when a friend bought a new house I knew just the project to stitch for her housewarming present, Coffin Buzz, a freebie from Paulette Stewart

Choose your own fabric and thread and this stitches up really fast, I enjoyed it so much. Thanks Paulette!

Lady Baa-Baa

This is from Carol, I love the finishing.

And this solid color piece is from Joann. She used Sister Scarlett Belle Soie on 40 ct One of a Kind from Sassy's Fabbys. Thanks for sharing ladies!

First one done!

Mel in Dubai was kind enough to email me that she finished Jingle Sparkle Joy last night. Looks great, thanks so much for showing me! I like the year stitched around the cardinal's tail, cute! Update, Mel has finished her piece into an ornament, I love the jingle bells!

Freebie!

This is Jingle Sparkle Joy and I hope you like it and would love to see any photo of a completed piece since I only just designed this piece today and haven't stitched it. I thought I'd get it up on the blog though for those who like to get their Christmas stitching done in a timely manner, lol. Enjoy!

Lovebirds!!

Harmien did a wonderful job changing colors on the Lovebird freebie. I have to say I like them better than what I chose so give her a shout if you are liking the colors as much as I do!

The above is DMC floss. I used 32 natural linen (Cafe Mocha) when I stitched this piece but feel free to choose whatever you like.

Sweet as the Flower freebie

Now that Christmas is over, I thought I'd post a freebie that would be great to give someone for Valentine's Day. I charted it for Gentle Arts threads. The red is Antique Rose, the green is Dried Thyme and the brown is Apple Cider. I charted it for Sand linen 32 count which makes it 3 x 3 1/2 inches. Enjoy!
