Giveaway

Good morning friends! I hope you had a wonderful celebration of Our Lord's Birth. We did. Good times with family too.

Thank you my friends for the Christmas cards. Mary Jane, I could not find your email. I am sorry. Thank you!♥

Whatcha been up to? I stitched this tiny, cute design.

I tried and tried to take pictures of it. I wanted you to see the beautiful color of the linen. It is called Aunt Marle's Violet by Crescent Colours. I stitched this one over one on 28ct. It is called Forever Charming by Forever In My Heart Designs. I picked this little chart up at my LNS for a dime!  I placed it in another one of those frame charms, this one in copper. I used the most beautiful variegated, purple, silk ribbon from France Theresa gifted me with. I tied it onto my Longaberger basket that holds a fern above my sink. It makes me smile. =)

I stitched this cute little schnauzer for my nephew. He got his puppy this year.

Yes, I once again used the frame charms from the big JoAnn stores. Sure helps make a quick ornament. I backed it with the fabric shown.This chart is a freebie and can be found here.  I had to change the colors completely. She used greens and blues?!? Also, his puppy is lighter in color. I stitched her one over one on 28ct white evenweave using DMC.

I finished The Giving Quilt by Jennifer Chiaverini.It was okay. It was my least favorite of her series. I found it slow. I have started And Then You Dye by  Monica Ferris.

Finally, my friend Laurie in Texas gifted me with a subscription to Cross Stitch & Needlework.=)  I must admit I will not be stitching from the first issue I received.
