Poodle Pin Cube

Hi friends! I can finally share a finish with you. I  took part in Jo's Summer Postcard Blog Hop, and I did not want to share my work until the recipient posted my pictures. Katie received my pet themed summer postcard. Can you guess that I stitched poodles? tee hee!
The top one looks so much like Henry to me. So that makes the bottom picture Mabel. Skinniest she has ever been. ;)
I found this pin cube pattern freebie HERE.  You need to scroll through the freebies to find the different free patterns you will need to make this pin cube.

I used 28ct white linen and pink Madeira silk floss. Both a gift from Charlene. Thank you Charlene! I used interfacing in making this cube.

Found a few neat books at the library on Friday. This is a new one. It is published yearly here in Wisconsin. I have a few patterns picked out to stitch.
 Went to JoAnn and bought every pink DMC floss I did not already own. :)




This is such an awesome plant. I found these seeds, that I believe were called Batchelor's Buttons. I have seen the seeds for years at the dollar store and finally bought them. Boy, am I glad I did! The flowers just keep coming and coming in so very many shades of pink, white and purple.♥
Well, back to finishing. I hope you have a most excellent week my friends! Thank you for your kind words.

Stitching and praying,
Vickie

    Vickie, that pin cube is so cute! The little poodles are adorable. I bet Mable likes it, too. We ALL appreciate a picture that makes us look skinnier! LOL

    Your flowers are so pretty. I like the bachelor buttons. :-)

    Oooh very pretty pink cube.... I love it. I don't think I have seen one, so to me it's awesome! Your pink threads are really pretty and cannot wait to see what other pink projects you do.
    Such lovely flowers... Bet they smell lovely.
    Big smiles :)

    Very cute pin cube. I have that stitched up in variegated red and it sits on little end table. But mine doesn't have poodles... I'm jealous.

    This cube is so pretty - I love it. Thank you for linking to the free chart, Vicky!
    Your flowers are so beautiful. The "Bachelor's Button" do we call "Cornfloweres" and I do like them very much. Here in Austria the blue ones grow wild in fields and on the roadside (but still quite rare, unfortunately).

    Have a wonderful new week!

    Hugs
    Hilda

    Hello Vickie,

    Your pink poodle is very nice!
    Mmm, more pink DMC's, how very inconvenient ;) Enjoy!
    Have a great week, thank you for your mail & enjoy the flowers.

    Bye, Carolien

    Vickie: Your pin block is so sweet, I love the pink color so French and the poodles are so perfect.
    I love the dollar store, so many fun things to see and buy.
    Your flowers are beautiful.

    I saw the poodles on Katie's blog and immediately thought of you haha. They're very sweet little cubes. :D

    And I am surprised you didn't have that large amount of pinks. Figured you would've had them long ago!

    Such a pretty-in-pink cube, Vickie. Thanks for the link, too--hadn't seen that one before.

    Your flowers are so lovely--especially the batchelor's buttons--such a nice old-fashioned plant in those pretty colors.

    Glad your local library is giving you some nice cross-stitching ideas--that looks like a great book!

    Your pin cube turned out really pretty, Vickie. I did this one several years ago in blue. www.tinyurl.com/PinCube
