Hi friends! Hi new friends! How are ya? We are feelin' happy 'round here. =) It is supposed to be in the forties this weekend! Melting snow! Sunshine! Yay! Oh, it will still be white around here for quite a while, but surely Spring is getting closer.
Remember Dear Rudolph I stitched and finished last month? Well I borrowed that LK pattern from our dear friend
Shirlee. I sent it back with a small gift I made her. Since she has received it and thanked me for it AND likes it ;) I thought I would show ya.
I'm Christian, Shirlee is Christian, I knew she would appreciate this gift I made for her. This is one of my favorite Bible verses. I always envisioned the verse stitched up with one of these:
A crown of course! This is the backside of the bookmark. I stitched one over one using Nancy's Victorian Motto Sampler Shoppe Floss "1795 Tarnished Gold". This is an antique crown pattern freebie from Sajou. The fabric I used is 28ct Country Blend linen.
I made this bookmark for Shirlee using all things from my stash. The large embroidered piece of linen on the front is vintage. It is from a tablecloth I bought off Etsy years ago. I made kitchen curtains with most of the tablecloth, and saved many pieces for future crafts.
I finished my Margaret Sherry piece. It was a freebie found
HERE.
Squee! So very cute! I stitched this for my hair stylist. She is a wonderful lady. I will shortly find a perfect, small frame for it and give it to her at my next haircut appointment.
I stitched this using DMC equivalents and some of my own choosing also. It is stitched two over two on 32ct Baby Lotion Belfast linen.
I took this photo last night from our backyard. This is the beautiful PINK sky setting behind our village library on the other side of a park behind our home.
I will share with you next time the very pink and very epic project I am taking on. I have been planning this one for years. At least 7 years my friends. It is time!!
Thank you for stopping by! Thank you for your sweet comments! You brighten my day, truly.
Stitching and praying,
Vickie

OOOH-The Crown Of Life Book mark looks so beautifull and the finshing is great! May I borrow this idea of Your for making bookmarks for the other TWO Ladies in our tiny stitching group? We are all Christians and those will look pretty inside our Bibles!?
I have been so busy I missed a few of your posts. It was so nice to catch with you. The bookmark is wonderful, a very sweet gift.

What a lovely gift for Shirlee. Your hedgehog stitch made me smile and I'm sure it will do the same for your hairdresser Vickie. Hello to Mabel and Henry.
What a perfect gift for Shirlee, it's so nice to have friends that share your faith.
Whenever I see a lovely sunset I think how nice it would look as a piece of hand dyed fabric! I keep sharing photos with the dyers I use for this reason!
What a great bookmark, I love the different color fabrics you picked for the backing.
Such a cute heghog.
Blessings
