February frolics....

Hello stitchers....

This past month has been a good stitchy

one.  January's installment of the

PS Alphabet

has been completed and I can

honestly say this was not a favorite.

I dreaded stitching it before

I even started but decided to

go ahead and get it over with....

Prairie Schooler "D is for Drum"

stitched with DMC on 40ct linen

I wasn't thrilled with the design and think that

attributed to my lack of desire to stitch. 

I really didn't like that the letter was

at the top, which is the only one like

this.  I decided to switch it which meant

a little bit of a redesign but I am happy

with how it turned out in the end.

I decided to carry on with the next installment

for February and have to say this is one of

my favorites.  I love the tapestry even

though I did a little unintentional redesign.

Counting is hard.

PS "E is for Embroidery"

I was able to get together with some stitching

friends the end of January and decided

this little design would be good for

stitching and talking simultaneously. 

Someday this hopes to be a pinkeep.

I also had the opportunity to have a few pieces

framed and glad I veered away from the

brown frames to choose reds.

Carriage House Samplings

"Matter's Choice"

This is still one of my favorite finishes from last summer.

Heartstring Samplery "Three Little Proverbs"

 This will be on display as a daily

reminder of the poignant messages.
