AOTH & Winter Wonderland

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!!

Anniversaries--so far

I'm having so much fun stitching Blackbird's Anniversaries of the Heart. I'm enjoying figuring out different personalizations to represent my family. I'm using 40 count Examplar by Lakeside Linens with the suggested overdyed threads. Here is Snow Garden:
This is Valentine Rose:
Finally, I stitched A Wish for You to represent my husband.
You can read more details about the personalizations on my blog, Notes from Blue Hen Hollow.
