"Counting Crows"....

Threadwork Primitives "Counting Crows"
32 ct. coffee dyed linen w/ DMC

* ~ * ~ * ~ * ~ * ~ * ~ *

I just loved this design from Nan (Threadwork Primitives)when I saw it and decided to stitch it up.  I love it even more finished!  The "red thread" she used is 3777, which oddly enough is one of my favorite colors.  It has more of a "rust" tone to it and I love it with my favorite "rusty red" checked fabric.  The result....this cute little pillow.

Happy stitches....

    Another finish! And crows - my husband would love this one.

    Have to ask - where did you get all the spools? I have a sand timer made from spools. Love those things!

    You're on a "stitching roll" Karen! The pillow is adorable, what a unique finish. I love Threadwork Primitives. Nan is "local" to me and I just bought one of her charts. Hugs, Mary
