Snowflake Ornament Photo from Candace

Candace is one of those "overtime" stitchers I mentioned! Not only did she complete the entire Cheetah Needlework Set in record time, she has already completed another project and again has done a magnificent job! This time she beautifully stitched and finished the Octagon Snowflake Fob embellished with lots of sparkly beads (oh, how I love sparkly things!) I just love getting to show off her finishes (she doesn't have a blog of her own.....yet!) Thank you, again, Candace!

Friendship Heart Photos From Brenda




Brenda from London sent photos of the Friendship Heart that she stitched and finished. Isn't it beautiful?! I love the pink fabric, pearls and ribbon! And if you look closely at the photo of the front you can see pink and green crystal bicone beads at the top! Thanks for Stitching and Sharing, Brenda!

Thank You!!!

I so appreciate all the kind comments and emails I've been receiving. It has been so fun doing the drawings - I hope everyone else is enjoying them as well! I have lots of new photos to post - lots of stitchers out there stitching overtime! I love it! Thanks for stopping by for a look, for stitching and sharing photos of my charts, for commenting and for entering the drawings, for emailing with suggestions and corrections, etc., etc. Thanks to you all for taking time from your busy lives to spend a little of it with me!

I'm Soooo Excited!!!

The first entry for the Cheetah Needlework Set Drawing has arrived and it's a beauty!! Candace S. did an outstanding job on the whole set - beautifully stitched, expertly finished and very artistically embellished! Look at those details she added on the spine of the needle case! Thanks so much, Candace, for making my simple design look like a million bucks!!

New Friendship Heart Scissors Fob

Here is the smaller version of yesterday's chart - this one should work better for a scissor fob or floss tag.

Another Cute Finish from Wilma!




Wilma has been a very busy girl! First she sent photos of the bourse she made using the Octagon Snowflake Fob chart and now she has sent a photo of her latest finish - a Gingerbread bag! She used an assortment of leftover threads and stitched on 14ct light green aida using the Gingerbread Treasure Bag chart. Great job, Wilma, and thanks for sharing your photo!

Friendship Heart

It's time I got back to posting some charts! To start off, I am posting an old chart - one from way back. It is very simple but I always liked it. A little large for a scissor fob but maybe okay for an ornament or sachet. I'll have to size it down for a fob, hmmmm....maybe I'll get that done later today.
