My Frederick.....

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!

November's ornament.....

"Snowflakes" freebie from

Made To Treasure

Stitched on 32ct. linen with

NeedleNecessities 120

I found these wonderful freebies last

week and just had to stitch them up

for this month's ornament. 

So simple yet wonderful to stitch. 

I did add the little border around the edge

so I could finish with a scalloped edge. 

I really like the way they turned out

so don't be surprised if you see this again.

So....this month's lucky exchange partner is.....

I do hope all of my American friends had

a wonderful Thanksgiving holiday. 

He's my favorite Clemson Tiger!

We had an extra celebration since it was

my hubby's birthday so my mom

was sweet enough to get him a cake.

Well....I'm off to stitch!   Hope you have a

wonderful weekend full of stitches.

Joy.....

I have been stitching away on CHS "Frederick"

but couldn't resist the urge to stitch this

ornament after seeing  Lee's (Lake Stitcher)

wonderful adaptation, which I just loved by the

way.   Yes, I just had to order the PTP Phoenix fabric to "borrow" Lee's colorway, but I

decided to play with this brown linen

while I waiting on my order.

Little by Little "Joy in the Snowflake"

2011 JCS Ornament issue

32 ct. brown linen w/ Victorian Motto threads

This has to be one of my favorite designs in

the new JCS ornament issue.  Although I love

the suggested thread colors, I am very pleased

with the look of the red and cream on the

brown linen.  Too large to be an ornament,

this will become a little pillow to tuck

away in a basket this holiday.

Yummy blue from Victorian Motto!

This was a pretty quick stitch and since I

love the original blue/brown combo, I now

want to stitch it again with blue on the brown

linen.  I also got my red fabric so I will be

stitching it using Lee's green/creme colorway! 

Good thing I like this ornament!

These will have to wait though.....

I am determined to finish Frederick first!

Strawberries....

Wild Berry Strawberry emery

From BBD "Joyeux Noel"

Stitched on 32ct linen w/DMC

I couldn't resist stitching these cute
designs any longer.   I used wool felt for
the tops and "cheated" by using my

Big Kick to cut out the top design. 
These were so easy to stitch up and I 
hope to stitch up a few more .

I am trying so hard to finish up at least 2
of  my January Crazy Challenge designs.   
I have been stitching all week on
CHS "Frederick" and it has been slow
going, but every stitch counts, 
so I am off to put in a few more.

I am thankful for all of the sweet comments I

received over some recent finishes.  As always,

I do appreciate you take the time to visit

and hope you have a great week.

happy stitching...
