Koi Pond Photo from MiC

Another fabulous finish to share - this time from MiC! She stitched Koi Pond and made it look better than my original design! If you look closely at the picture you can see that she added areas of blue half cross stitches that really add to the design - beautiful!! I so appreciate seeing how stitchers interpret designs and add their own creative touch to make each one special! Thanks MiC!

Roberta's Cats Scissors Fob

As a small break from the fall charts, here is a fob for the new Gingher Designers Series Scissors named Roberta. Lots of new scissors out right now, which means lots of new fobs to do!!! ;0)

Koi Pond Finish

**Edited** Marija has kindly given me permission to post her picture here. Thanks, Marija, for sharing the picture and for stitching my design!

Marija has finished stitching Koi Pond and sent a link to her picture of it. I'm waiting to hear back from her for permission to post her picture here but in the meantime you can see it here. Thanks, Marija! Great job!

Another Day, Another Chart - Koi Pond

I had a long list of things to do today....but, I worked on a new design instead. I'm one of those people that does things in spurts and on a whim. Even though I had planned to do other things, I was really in the mood to work on the design that had been nagging at me so....my To Do List will still be there tomorrow. I am posting the chart although I haven't stitched it up yet - so the colors are only a suggestion, definitely subject to change. I am posting both the full size and the smaller fob size - I recommend using a 16 or 18 count (or 32 or 36 over two threads) for the fob. I actually started a koi fob design months ago but it was based on a tile that I saw a picture of. I liked the result but because it wasn't my original design I couldn't post it. I've been wanting to do a new one so I finally decided to start from scratch and do an original and I'm pleased with the result. Now maybe I can move on to another design that is nagging to be charted!
