Hi friends! Did you have a nice weekend? We had lovely weather in the sixties and sunny. We attended a celebratory lunch on Saturday for my in-laws. They have been married 50 years now. It was all very nice.
Here is my April display in my cubby shelf.
I finished A Wish For You last week.
 |
| One over one on 25ct cream Dublin linen |
I changed the bunny a bit. I stitched him in 612 instead of 840 to make him a bit lighter. I also stitched his tail in Wisper. 😊
I stitched all the house trim in 453 to match my grandparents' house trim. The windows are filled with Ecru instead of 738 because I could not find my 738. Ha! I left the very upper left space above the house empty and left off the tiny diamond things. I like it a bit plainer like this.
I am now stitching up a pretty, little gift for a friend. So no pictures. I can show you what I began with.
Pretty colors, aren't they? I am not sure you can see the light blue variegation of the evenweave.
I would like to offer this pattern for an etui pincushion, a shaped needlebook, and a scissors fob to anyone who is interested. This pattern is removed from the May 2013 Cross Stitch & Needlework magazine. This giveaway is for the few pages of this pattern only, not the whole magazine. I will be folding this pattern to fit into a business size envelope to save on postage. If you would like this pattern, you need to be a follower of mine,and leave a comment on this post. I will draw a name on April 17th.
P.S. I did not do the finishing I had hoped to do on my cute Spring stitching. boo!
Stitching and praying,
Vickie

ReplyDelete50 years is quite an achievement and will be a thing of the past I'm thinking as folks don't seem to be hanging in there like that anymore. Lovely stitching as always, Vickie.
ReplyDeleteI always enjoy seeing your monthly shot of your cubby. Best wishes to your in-laws on their 50 years! Congratulations on your AotH block! I think it turned out great. Enjoy your week, Vickie!
ReplyDeleteCongrats to your in-laws...always an accomplishment these days!

Have I mentioned before how much I love your shelf?! It just makes me smile. I'm still on the hunt for something similar, I really enjoy seeing yours and the way you change it up from time to time.

Wow, a Golden Wedding Anniversary. That's incredible! My husband and I are married 10 years, this year.

ReplyDeletecongratulations to your in-laws on their special anniversary.
ReplyDeleteI love to see the cubby shelf adorned with such delights each month.
Pretty spring colours you've chosen for the gift stitching.
Good morning, Vickie. 50 years? Congratulations to your in-laws!!
ReplyDeleteLove your cubby, you find such sweet patterns. Your AOH is looking great. You are such a fast stitcher! I don't want to say I'm jealous, but I kinda am. I've been working on the same pattern for two years. It will be a "vintage" pattern before I finish. LOL
Congratulations on your latest finish, Vickie--I love the colors and whole look (and, of course, that cute bunny!).
ReplyDeleteWe had the same lovely weekend as you--just so refreshing after being cooped up all winter. Need to get busy and put our screens in the windows, though :)
Hi Vickie...
ReplyDeleteCongratulations on your in-laws 50th anniversary! What a wonderful blessing that is!
Your cubby looks so full of Spring, it just made me smile! I love it! Your finish is great too! I so love that little bunny...lol! Another block down! Hooray!
The floss colors you chose for the gift you are making are really nice and cheerful...I think it will be beautiful...how sweet you are!! I also love the pattern you are giving away....can you please put my name in the hat?
Sending hugs and lots of love....
I love your April cubby and your A Wish For You finish. I'm sure your friend will love the gift you're making. Those colors make me think of pansies :) I already have the magazine the pattern came from, but I'm sure someone will be happy to have it.
ReplyDeleteWonderful display, Vickie!!
ReplyDeleteYour block is amazing!! Love the little bunny!
Lovely colours for the mystery gift.
