Hi friends! I have a sweet Spring finish to share with you today.
I have had this pretty freebie printed off and waiting for me for years. You can find the free pattern (and more!) RIGHT HERE.
I have to say I was quite surprised after I had begun stitching this. I went to check if the site still existed and if the freebie was still there. The free patterns now also show a stitched and finished picture of the pattern. My pattern, being three years old, did not. I stitched using the DMC numbers called for, except the purple. Imagine my surprise when I did not see red anywhere in the finished piece shown. Those flowers I stitched with DMC 777, were all shown pink! And you know how much I love pink! But DMC 777 has always been a pinkish red, always. She must have just gone with a different floss there. And you know what? I like the red. As a matter of fact, here are my two favorite flowers in this garden.
Which are your favorites here?
I stitched this one over one on 28ct Dresden Blue Meran linen using DMC and purple VMSS floss.
I am currently stitching up an April piece for my cubby shelf that I will share with you next time.
Madeleine loves poodles just like me. ;) She found this awesome video and shared it with me. Now I would like to share it with you. This teacup poodle named Nala, is an inspiration for Henry and I at "our" nursing home.(You don't need to bring a toy poodle with you to go visit the lonely.)
Thank you for stopping in with me today. I hope you have a wonderful weekend my friends!
Good morning, Vickie. Beautiful!! I love the look of 1 over 1, but so hard for me to do. LOL I like the red and purple, both really add to the "pop". Have a wonderful day!
Oh my goodness Vickie what a beautiful video....it had me crying...lol...I love to go to nursing homes and visit but this was truly special. Thanks for sharing it :) Your stitching is just lovely too, those red flowers are perfect...I hope you have a good week. When do and Henry go to the nursing home?
I love your new finish and thanks for sharing the link! The poodle is an angel indeed, how wonderful. I have a children's book on the same issue and I read it many many many times with the girls cuddling up beside me. It's called 'Dokter de Wit', doctor White (it's about a white dog). I wish they would do that in every nursery home and hospital, it helps ...
Dear Vickie, such an amazing Spring embroidery. Great! I like it very much, especially the red flowers are my favorite, they shine and look particularly classy. I hope your Easter was lovely. Hug you Your Sandra
What a wonderful little dog, Nala is. Truly, she is doing God's work! I'm sitting here like a fool crying because it just touched my heart so! Thank you for sharing this, Vickie!
I love your little flowers and can't pick a favorite. I do love the red flowers, too, and it makes your piece pop!
What a pretty finish, Vickie... I've had that printed off for years, too :)
That video is precious and oh, so true. There is such a special bond between pets and older people. When my dad had his dementia, only dogs and children could bring a smile to his face. Thanks for sharing!
Such a lovely little piece, Vickie. I remember that I also printed it out but have never stitched it. I might do that soon as I'm into flower stitching right now.
That page is one of my favorite freebie pages haha. So much cute and I love the seasonal hearts. My favorite flower is the blue next to the red delphinium though I don't know what it is!
Great little Spring finish. I have bookmarked that page before but never stitched anything from it.
I love your disclaimer about not needing a toy poodle to visit people. I was sure that's what puts people off doing voluntary work - lack of poodles LOL

I like the top red flower and the purple ones at the bottom! Nala is a prize for that place--excellent! Hugs!
