February ornament

Here is my February ornament "a Heart with Quaker Motifs". The design is from Interweave Press. I stitched on 16ct Antique white aida with Marble Thread (cosmo). This thread seems as if violet flowers are blooming. I love this!

Happy stitching and see you next time...

Flower for March

I stitched this La D Da Rose Free-bee for March's flower theme. I've been looking for an excuse to stitch it so it worked out well for me. :-) I've had the free-bee for a while and not sure from where I got it....couldn't find a link to it anywhere online. (Maybe someone else knows where it can be found online.)

It was fun to stitch and I like the size it came out on 32 ct. linen over 2.

February Hearts

Sorry for my english....I hope it's not too bad but I'm from Spain and I don't practice much See you next month!!!

A Grandmother Again -- Need Prayers

Sunday evening at 7:37 PM, Little Ella Marie made her way into this world. She is 8 weeks early. She weighs 3 lbs 14 ozs and is 16 1/2 inches long. Right now she is in the NICCU and on CPAP and is holding her own. She was given Surfactin to help mature her lungs, but will be in the hospital for at least another 6-8 weeks baring any complications. DDIL started having problems with pre-eclampsia Thursday. She started having contractions Sunday, late afternoon/early evening, and was taken to the hospital. Her blood pressure was very high and the MD decided to do a C-section to prevent any complications for her or the baby. DDIL is doing better now that the baby has been delivered and is resting well. Her and DS are worried about Little Ella though. All are hoping for daily improvement and no problems. Time will tell. Please keep them both in your prayers for healing and well being. Thanks.

My January and February Ornaments

Hello everyone, I have kindly been allowed to join you all in this wonderful SAL. My aim is to make all twelve ornaments and a stitched "Christmas" top for a box and present them as a gift to my niece who gets married this August. Hopefully my ambitions will be fulfilled.

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

February Heart

Here is my February Heart. I again did my ornie in Hardanger. It is from the same book as the house but with changes. I always seem to change things to suit me. LOL I guess I just like to add my own to what I do. hope you like it. Have a nice day !!! Oh and Happy Valentine's Day to everyone.

Here's my ornament for February - this one was super fast to stitch!

'Hearts in a Basket' by the Silver Needle

My March Flower Basket

Hello!
My March flower basket is ready! It is not a simple basket. I made the basket as a felt pincushion. I also designed it with some stitching, sequins and beads. So the result is a very nice and useful thing!
I though, If you make a hand to it, it may be a Christmas Tree decoration, but I think a pincushion is more useful for me, so let it be.
The instructions for pincushion can be found here and here.

MY FEBRUARY ORNAMENT

I have chosen for my February ornament, this J B W Design "French Country-Amour" I found the chart while I was on holiday and stitched it immediately on Permin 36 count linen using Jane Van Kuelin's hand dyed tencil thread. 

 I have since stitched it again as I really enjoyed this design.
