Spring Stitching

 Hi friends! It is really taking a while to warm up here. It was 19 degrees last night! 🥶

You all know our friend Lynda Ruth, would you please pray for her? She was in the hospital. Her husband Dave has brought her home. She had fluid in her lungs and had to have it removed. She is now on medication. She has asked if you would all remember her. Let us not forget one of our own, but send her love.💕

Are these not precious??!! 

I had saved this pattern, and when I found this adorable, little basket at Goodwill for a dollar and change, I knew I finally found my way to finish these little critters. 

I stitched these one one over one with the called for DMC on 28 count pastel mint green evenweave.

💕Oh Sweet Pea💕from April Showers by Blackbird Designs.

I stitched this one over two on mystery 40ct linen with some of the called for DMC and VMSS Antique Pink and The Perfect Rose. 

The backing fabric is from my stash. This was a snow day last week. Sweet Peas in the snow!😄 I thought I would take pictures of the stocking inside also. So bright inside!

🌟Glory To God🌟by Little House Needleworks. 

This pattern can be found in the 2008 Just CrossStitch Christmas Ornament Issue. I stitched this for my Mom for this coming Christmas. She loves angels. I stitched this two over two on 32count Silkweaver Belfast linen in French vanilla swirl  with the called for DMC and VMSS 1795 Golden Straw. I had the perfect finishing fabric in my stash. What a dope! 🤦I glued it on upside down. 

😑 Well, I know Mom won't notice. I am disappointed though. Oh well. Vonna I am not. One ornament done for this year anyhow.

WOO HOO! I have now completed two of the six samplers I have on my list for this year to finish!!

This sampler block is in honor of my FIL, my MIL, and my BIL.

I am stitching Anniversaries of the Heart by Blackbird Designs all on one piece of 25ct cream Dublin linen, which requires some modifications along the way. It is stitched with the called for WDW Baked Apple, mostly DMC, and some #vmss I have made MANY color changes to make mine look more like the pattern covers. The entire thing is stitched over one.

📚🎧What a super read! This historic novel is about the courtship and catastrophic honeymoon aboard the Titanic of young Madeleine Talmage Force and John Jacob “Jack” Astor. I thoroughly enjoyed this love story. I never knew of it.

Well if you can believe it, I am still waiting for my flosses for Eliza's French Birds 1849 by JBW. I want to start it SO BAD!! The flosses are scheduled to arrive today! Brian emailed 123Stitch and sent them a screen shot of  the fail to deliver and return from the PO. 123Stitch put the incorrect address for us. 😖 They agreed not to wait until they received that package back to send me those flosses. They mailed me out flosses and did not charge shipping. The originals are going back to them. I just want to start!

What are you stitching on right now?

Let your light so shine before men, that they may see your good works and glorify your Father in heaven.  Matthew 5:16
