Instead of just collecting the stocking charts, I thought it was time to get stitching them, too! Here are my latest stockings. I stitched Souvenir of Paris, from the Joyeux Noel book, as charted on 30 ct R&R St. Valentine's Blend with Gentle Arts Sampler Threads and Weeks Dye Works threads.

Snowy Eve is from the Merry December leaflet. It was stitched on 30ct Iced Cappuccino with Crescent Colours, Weeks Dye Works, and Gentle Arts Sampler Threads.

Winter Song is from the 2008 Just Cross Stitch ornament issue, and was stitched with Gentle Arts Sampler Threads, Crescent Colours, and Weeks Dye Works threads on 30 ct Iced Cappuccino.

I was fortunate enough to take this class at the Shepherd's Bush 2010 retreat in Utah. We made the beaded pins in class, which was a lot of fun and really pretty easy. The little pin-cushion was made by picking our own favorite motif and colors from the sampler.

I added scrap booking paper coated with adhesive film on the bottom to make the finished look nicer.

Thanks for looking and Happy Stitching!

From The Stitcher's Journey book. I made the stitching companion piece into a needlebook and then made the matching pincushion. I used the Gentle Arts threads that were called for except changed Melon Patch to Copper for a slightly darker look. The fabric is from Silkweaver but I have had it around for a long time and don't remember what the color is. The backing fabric is tea-dyed muslin. This was fun to make and I can't wait to stitch other projects from this wonderful book!

2011-05-10T13:12:00.001+02:00

I am happy to report that I finished up my Anniversaries of the Heart!

I had so much fun with this sampler, trying to figure out which beloved family member would be featured in each block. I changed the personalization in For Those Recorded Here to reflect more of me as the stitcher of the sampler. The Irish verse relates to the town where we live.

And the full thing--

2011-05-02T17:29:00.005+02:00

Happy Monday Everyone!!

I am sharing 3 finishes with you!! First is AOTH block #2 Valentine Rose. This will be dedicated to my DH's grandmother as her birthday is Valentine's Day. I have not stitched her name on yet because DH wants me to include UNO somewhere...her favorite game. I am leaning toward the bird on the heart as if he is saying UNO. We shall see! I am stitching them all on one piece of 36ct Edinburgh to eventually have a wall hanging.

Winter Wonderland has been completed for a bit. This is going to my DH as he belongs to a hunt club and is manly enough to tickle his fancy! LOL

I also did the pincushion! I absolutely love how it turned out. I backed it with the fabby in the background and stuffed it with crushed walnut shells. She is displayed in DH's grandmother china cabinet...I don't have the heart to poke her with a pin! LOL

Hugs & Stitches!!

House on Acorn Hill

2010-10-17T15:35:00.005+02:00

I started Blackbird's House on Acorn Hill as a stitch along with a very special friend. Elaine passed away in 2008 without finishing her sampler. I stitched her initials along with mine at the bottom of my sampler, to remember in thread the friend that will always live in on in my heart.

I stitched my sampler with Gentle Arts Sampler Thread on 32 ct. R&R Goldfinch linen.
There are more photos on my blog.
