March

A poor photo but this is my "basket of flowers". I used Aury's pattern and it's a joy to stitch, as all her patterns are. Used up a peachy colored scrap of fabric. I like it but it's not too Christmasy. Think I'll stitch it again with red, white and pink flowers as they do remind of poinsettias.

February Heart

Aury, I do hope you consider copying the sincerest form of flattery. I couldn't resist your heart freebie! I did change up the colors to my choice. It is stitched on a remnant of cream 22ct aida. First time I've tried 22ct. I like it!! Will definitely have to find more of that for my stash.

As it stitched up quite small, I was unable to get a decent photo on this gloomy day. This was the best of the lot.

BTW, Aury, can you share your finishing technique? I'm finishing challenged and wouldn't have a clue as to how to finish a heart. Thanks

My "House" Ornament

Hi everyone!! Finally I have a completion to show. At least the stitching part. I used the complimentary chart released yesterday by Diane Williams of Little House Needleworks to the LHN Yahoo Group. Yes, I took quite a few liberties with her design, which she encourages. I just love her designs & she is such a sweet person.
