Pink Hill Manor, My Valentine, many more

I have been a follower of the blog and admired everyone's work since the beginning but I never posted before.  I felt like my stitching didn't measure up to all the amazing stitchery that you guys post but I've finally gotten brave enough to share.  Here's my 2013 Blackbird Design finishes so far:

Pink Hill Manor using recommended floss but mystery linen. It is stitched for my sweet niece, Rachel Elizabeth Gay

Moonlight Visitor stitched to honor my Aunt Brenda Gay Holland using recommended thread and mystery 32 count fabric

Swan Lake to honor my youngest niece, Josilyn Renae Gay aka Josi.  It was stitched using the recommended floss but again mystery 32 count fabric.

My Valentine still waiting for "honoring" and stitched on 30 count with recommended floss

Bluebird's Message using recommended floss and 28 count fabric

And To All A Good Night using recommended floss and 30 count fabric

I'm currently working on Happy Birthday and hope to add it to the completed pile later this month. Can't promise that because I'm leaving on Wednesday to head back home  to Atlanta for a visit so might not get too much stitching done for awhile. 

Moonlight Visitor, Summer Stars Pincushion

We are all enjoying the Blackbird Designs book "A Stitchers Journey..." and I am no exception~~  Here is another pin pillow I made for a private exchange with Pat..

The smaller initial pinpillow is for her to keep in her travelling stitch bag to use to plant her needle in when changing threads......

I have also been stitching on my larger Anniversaries of the Heart piece...here is the latest completed square:

Hello everybody!  I am stitching my Anniversaries of the Heart on one piece of 40 ct Examplar linen by Lakeside Linens.  I'm using the suggested threads.  I dedicated this block to my maternal grandfather.

I changed the colors in the dog to represent my best buddy and faithful stitching companion, Duffy, who is a tricolor Cavalier King Charles spaniel.
