Sharing Some Finishes....

Finally - stitching pics to share with you!

First up is Tanya's (The Sampler Girl) LE 2009 Christmas Kit - Bedford Falls. I LOVE "It's A Wonderful Life", it's my favorite movie and Tanya sent me her wonderful kit as a special gift. I stitched it on Christmas Day while watching "It's A Wonderful Life". I just adore Jimmy Stewart and I thought this was the perfect piece to stitch while watching the movie. I just did the finishing on it today though (talk about slow!) and here it is! Cute huh? I did make a few color changes (no big surprise there) and I stitched it on a 30 ct R&R fabric, but I don't remember which color it is. It will go in a box with lots of NEW ornaments for Christmas 2010. Thank you again Tanya for your very thoughtful gift!


Next is my finish of LK's ABC Lessons with LOTS of color changes. I don't like pastels very much (as you can tell) so I used CC's German Chocolate for the words, Onion Skin for the blocks and then other CC's for the red, greens, blue and gold. I LOVE how it turned out. It's stitched on 32 Antique Ivory Belfast. Hopefully I can get it framed this winter sometime.... we'll see about that... I can be slow! I finished it last Sunday - no sure when I started it, but I had between 1/4 & 1/3 done when I picked it back up right after Christmas - so not too bad I don't think! :-)

Last up is what I decided to work on for a bit - my BIGGEST UFO. This is my start in 2009 on Quaker Virtues. I'm stitching on 25 ct Vintage Country Mocha with DMC 815 & 838. I can only stitch over one for so long before picking up something else, so hopefully you will see an update on this at least once a month in 2010. NO PROMISES though..... I'm not making specific plans for my stitching this year. I'm going to stitch on what I want when I feel like it. This past week I didn't get to stitch hardly at all - but hopefully I can get some in this coming week. Wish me luck!

Thanks for stopping by & happy stitching!!
