PS finish

I finished a Praire schooler piece, Farm Fresh. Doing the
oval finish was a challenge. Posted are pictures
where I do my walks several times a week.
It is down by the water at one of the inlets to
the ocean. I love this park. Boats are hear,
going in and out all the time. I love the smell of
the salt water. One my walk yesterday I met
mister turtle. I have never seen a turtle down
there. How cute is he. This place is Wantagh Park, NY.
The photos were taken with my cell phone. Pretty
nice photos for a cell phone.

Gold Finch by PS

Happy Memorial Day to all who serve us and those
who have served in the past. A special thanks to
someone dear to my heart in Heaven - Tom - he was
a Vietnam Vet - he was the man who raised me. He
is on my mind today. The pattern of the Gold
Finch's is by Prairie Schooler. Done on linen.
This piece is for an exchange.

The bird I was able to get a quick photo of was in my
back yard. He was eating a worm.

More Fabrics

I love color and love these fabrics. The are so
pretty. The bundles are quite cute that I picked
out. These I did not buy in a store, I purchased
these online at http://www.skyerevefabrics.com/
Well packaged and quick shipping. I thought I
would pass the site onto my stitchers.

Lifes a stitch

Two great finishes. Both patterns are by
Lizzie Kate. The bloom pattern was a
freebie and I switched it around a little bit.
Lifes a stitch fits us stitchers.

New fabrics

Some new fabrics. I love these colors. I was packing up
somethings to ship out today. Sending a blessing to
someone else is what I like to do. I received a generous
gift today from someone I love dearly, thank you dad.
I truly believe what we put out into the world we will get
back. Grampa sam played a part, he is smiling from
heaven. If you look on a post from last year you will
see Grampa sam passed last year and was a great
stitcher.

HOE Exchange received

Received a beautiful exchange from
Gabi in Australia. The pattern is
by Blackbird Designs. I will treasure
this piece. Thank you so much Gabi.

The perfect fabric

I think I found the perfect fabric.
I went to our fabric store and
I thought this was a great match.
The best part is the fabric was on clearence.
What do you think?

Hedgehog finish

Pattern by Margaret Sherry
How adorable are the Hedgehogs.
When I saw the design I just knew I wanted to
do this piece. I am not sure how I will finish
it. I was looking for a puzzle fabric not easy
to find. I even checked Ebay usually I can
find anything there. I will hold until I
find the perfect fabric. Happy Mother's Day.
I know many of my bloggers are moms.

How cute are these?

These are patterns I have done before. Friendship
grows is a FREEBIE pattern from Lizzie Kate.
I always finish them a little different. The second
I had to do again. Bloom has really nice colors
and reminds me of the season we are in, Spring.
Both of these pieces are gifts. They are wrapped
with love in the rainbow ribbon.

My trip to NYC yesterday

yesterday I went to NYC for one of my great stash
trips. I always go to the city quilter and get some
new fabric for do my finishing touches on my
cross stitch pieces. Then I headed down to the
garment distric where I get my cordings. This
whole batch of cording was only 13.00. You can't
beat this deal. There is nothing like NYC. I met up
with my oldest daughter who goes to school at the
Fashion Institute of Technology. We ate at
Max Brenner's Chocolate restaurant.
What great chocolate desserts we
had. If you ever have a chance to eat at one of
their locations it is a must for any chocolate lover.
It was a perfect day for the city, 80 degrees to
walk the street of NYC.

Happy Easter

The kids colored easters this morning.
These kids ages 21,19,17 still had fun.
I still enjoy putting together the Easter
Baskets. Its the kid that still lives in all
of us. Have a blessed Easter.

Spring has sprung

The first pattern was free on the internet.
I have done this in Red, White, and Blue.
I like the spring colors.

The Bloom ornie was a pattern in Cross- Stitch
& Needlework May 2011. I adore the bright spring
colors of these pieces.
