Hi friends! It has cooled off a lot around here. How is the weather by you?
Our friend Catherine sent me quite a few pink fabrics for the Epic Pink Tumbler Quilt. Her Minnesota Needlework Guild had a destash pile, and she obtained many for me from there. Thank you again for thinking of me Catherine!
I have finished My Mom's Garden by Shepherd's Bush. As I mentioned in a previous post, I have made changes to the design. First off, I added another motif up top, since I wanted it to be Mom's Garden and not My Mom's Garden. I used two strands of floss for the satin stitches in this pattern. I used DMC. I just went through my stash til I found good matches to the remaining silks
our friend Sally included with the pattern when she gave this to me. I bought a variegated blue/purple floss, called Midnight by Artiste for the dark purple in the pattern. Isn't this wreath pretty?
I love this pale pink specialty stitch.
The original pattern came with a bee button. I made up a bee as I went along. It is stitched one over one.
Well now, since this is
my garden, I just had to replace the SB sheep with my sweet Mabel.
Mabel is very happy with how thin she is looking here. ;)
Except for the tiny bee, this pattern was stitched one over two on 32ct mystery lavender linen.
Isn't it pretty? You can see I stitched our three kids; initials. :) Thank you Sally for passing this along to me. Would you like to be the next stitcher of this lovely SB pattern my friend? If so, please leave me a comment telling me so. I will draw the name of the winner on Monday, August 31st. You need to be a follower of mine. The remaining silks are included. I will add the Artiste Midnight too.
Stitching and praying,
Vickie

Your finish is sweet and lovely!
Dear Vicky , your embroidery is beautiful again . I like all the details and find it very funny that you have Mabel embroidered instead of the sheep . A great idea and it fits perfectly to you , plus the in Italy of your children . Really great!
Oh here in Germany , Bavaria , it is warm but rainy. I find it very pleasant after the constant heat.
Greetings Sandra
A lovely finish.

Good luck to all who would like it.
We have been cooling off as well, but looks like we are going to heat up again. ;(~ Great fabrics to add to your quilt. I love your finish, very pretty.
All of your personalizations make the piece so very 'you'! It is quite pretty, and I am sure will hang in a place where it will make you smile! Don't enter me in the giveaway...too much already on my plate! Hugs!
What a lovely stitched garden. I love the idea of putting your children`s initials, I would love to do the same. Please put my name in for this. Happy Stitching.
I love how you personalised this Vickie, you made a beautiful design even more lovely! Please don't include me, I've been gifted with so many lovely charts recently and I want to start stitching some of them!
Beautiful stitching! I love how you personalized it. Great job making up that bee, too! :D
I love your personalisation of My Mom's Garden. It is beautiful.
This is a lovely finish and I can see why you've enjoyed it so much. Your little bee is just precious! :D I hope the winner thoroughly enjoys it and maybe keeps the poodle in. ;)
