Bushel of pears....

 

 

Two more of Marly's wonderful pears

have been added to my collection.

 



June Pear

stitched on 32ct. coffee-dyed linen

with Victorian Motto

 

I stitched this one earlier in June and had just

added some purple and lavender thread

from Victorian Motto to my thread collection. 

They were the perfect for this

design don't you think?

July Pear

stitched on 32ct coffee-dyed linen

with Victorian Motto and ST

 

This was the perfect stitch for the July 4th

weekend.   I like Marly's original design for

the 1776 but decided to stitch it solid to

match the May pear.   With some of the linen

scraps, I do hope to stitch the 1776 in the

red, white and blue colorway to

use as a little bowl filler.

 

 

A "bushel" of pears

 

 Can you tell I have fallen in love with these pears?
I still have a few to stitch but I do smile
every time I walk by my little basket.

Here is another oldie but goodie.  Too tired
to stitch one night, I started looking
back through my magazines and
found this sweet design.  

Ewe & Eye & Friends "Button Basket"

Cross Stitch & Needlework April 1999

Stitched on 40ct linen w/Victorian Motto

 

Too lazy to get out the sewing machine, I

decided to use my Big Kick.   I used my oval

dies to cut the wool felt and the stitching

to finish this little oval pin cushion.

Well...I was all ready to stitch this and Nan

at Threadwork Primitives offered

this wonderful design.  

Oh my goodness....I love this design.  

It promptly came in the mail yesterday and I

started last night.   I can't wait to add

this one to my bee collection.

As always, thanks for visiting my

little piece of the web.  

Hope you have a great stitching day.

Where has time gone...

 

I can't believe it has been 2 months since

my last post.    Work has been consuming

my life but I think the worst may be

over so I can make more time to stitch. 

I do have two small finishes to share.

I joined the Spring Seasonal Exchange

and stitched this for Laura.

Another co-worker retired ...the fourth in a year....

so I wanted to make a little momento

to celebrate the occasion

 

LK "When We Do"

Stitched on 32 ct. w/Victorian Motto

 

This sweet design was suited her perfectly.  

Another one I need to stitch from myself!

I have been able to sneak a few stitches here

and there on some small designs.  Since

I have a free day on Sunday, finishing

will be on the to do list!

 

As far as stitching, June was sweet enough

to share this darling design after she

finished it.  Isn't it cute? I hope to put the

beginning stitches in to it tonight.

 

Hope you have a nice quiet stitchy weekend!
