Flock of Blackbirds......

One blackbird.....

 

BBD "Their Song'
32ct. LL Buttercream w/

GA/ST/Victorian Motto threads

I put the last stitch in this one last night and have

to say this has to be one of my favorite BBD

designs.   (Well....until I stitch the next!)

I used Victorian Motto reds and greens

and love the slight difference in color

it gave the design.

  

I almost hated to see this one end.

I participated in the F&S BBD Exchange 

awhile back and never did post my

stitched piece to Karen R. 

(Oops... I realized I forgot to take a

picture of my finish so I had to borrow Karen's. ) 

I took a little snippet from the design and 

realized how versatile BBD designs are with

so many "small designs" within one large design.

 

Three blackbirds....

I spent last Saturday with Amy and picked

up some of the BBD books I just couldn't

live without a moment longer!  I have 

been searching for Peppermint & Holly

and was so excited to see DSL had a few

copies.  Fearing I would miss my chance to

get some of the other books, I decided I

better not wait!

and Four.....

From "My Heart is True"

When I saw this design, I knew that

I just had to stitch it....now!   Amy had the

blue gingham linen and, after a nice soak

in a coffee bath, my needle is ready to go. 

I am using DMC for this one and will give the

linen another dip once stitched.

Well...if you made it this far, thanks for visiting!  

Hoping you are enjoying cooler days and

happy stitches....
