My Frederick.....


fred2
CHS "Frederick"
Stitched on 40ct. LL Pearled Barley
w/ DMC

I can truly say this is one of my favorite finishes. 
I always amazed how the colors come together
to form such a beautiful color palette.  

The cover picture of this design does
not do it justice.

Sporting his VT colors....could he be a hokie?

I just love him in this wonderful
color combination.

Such a beautiful pair!

These two are already off to be dressed in their
finest and I hope to have them hanging on
my wall this time next week!

I can't believe the holiday season is upon us
and a great time for reflection.   I am so
appreciative of all of my visitors and the
time you take to leave a comment.
Thank you!

Wishing you a great stitchy week!

    Oh my gosh, adorable!! Fantastic finish, Karen. I hadn't thought of the Hokie color connection... maybe I might be generous and stitch it for my brother & SIL, who are Hokies. But probably not--I like him too much and will want him for myself! LOL Can't wait to see them framed!

    Absolutely gorgeous, Karen and you are right about those colors, they are quite the eye-catchers! I am a bit envious that you have these stitched and on their way to be framed! Will just have to find a way to get them stitched in 2012, maybe!

    Woman, these are amazing!

    I would be so happy if elves would come and stitch these for me in the night! Hmmn; now that I think on it I'd be thrilled if they would even kit them up for me!

    This is a huge accomplishment; congratulations! Beautiful work!
