Catching up: March.....

A few goodies from March.....

While at the Pals Stitching at the
Beach retreat last October, I discovered
Silver Creek Sampler's wonderful
designs.  This was one of my favorites
so it had to be stitched first.

The sentiment is a nice reminder
we are not alone....

Silver Creek Samplers "Shadow of My Wings"

stitched on 40ct PTP Fog with recommended threads

March's Prairie Schooler alphabet
design was "L"....

Prairie Schooler "J*K*L"

stitched on 40ct Lakeside Linen with recommended DMC

I really like stitching on this monthly and

could see myself focusing on this one project. 
My fear is I will burn out so I am

restraining myself and sticking to one a month.

The end of March was an exciting time

as I prepared to attend the

Prim Stitchers Society Retreat in Marietta.

It was a wonderful time packed with

classes, stitching, gabbing and laughing.

I did participate in the Exchange and

decided to try something new. 

Threadwork Primitives' "Bee Gathering"

was perfect to be finished as a drum,

my first, and I was so happy with the result.

Threadwork Primitives "Bee Gathering"

stitched on 40ct mystery linen with Victorian Motto threads

I had this fabric in my stash and it

was perfect for the mood and color of the design.

I took a lot of liberties with the finishing

but loved once done.

My most favorite detail was the little

bee pin I stuck in the top.

I received a wonderful piece with a
very unique finish in exchange.
  I am not sure if this is an old biscuit
cutter or butter mold, but it just
suited for this sweet design.

Perfect addition with all of my thread bobbins.

As always thanks for visiting and

happy stitching.....
