Some more Lizzie Kate Finishes

 I did three ornaments from the Lizzie

Kate 2011 Flora McSample.

Each so special:  Peace, Love  Joy

All done on linen.  each with special

fabrics and finishes.

 Believe is from the Lizzie Kate 2012

Flora Mcsample.

A couple of new finishes

 

Old Glory by LHN.

This piece was a gift for someone.  When

we make pieces for people we always 

hope they will appreciate them.  I am

happy to report they really liked it.

Very traditional and patriotic.  It was

a pleasure to stitch.  Of course I

tweeked the pattern to make my piece.

I made another scissor fob.  A delightful

angel.  Where did the summer go?  It is winding

down as we will be transitioning into fall. 

September is a great month, but not looking forward

to the winter.  I am not a winter person at all.  Amazing

how time goes quickly.  Each day is a gift.

A Scissor fob and a trip to the local Needleshop

I do not have any scissor fobs.  I decided

to stitch up a flower.  So cute and now

my scissor has some company.  

I took a trip today to my LNS.  Dixie Darlin,

Pigeon Forge, TN. 

This store always has so much to see.

Lots of samples all around the store.

If you are ever in the area, I highly

recommend a visit to this store.

I put together six new projects to

stitch.  Lizzie Kate has come out with

some new pieces to stitch.  Is it me

or have they really made some great

changes lately?  I really like the

new patterns they have come out with.

They packed each project in their

own bag.  The projects are ready to

grab and go.

 New ribbons to finish projects.

Joe's Crab shack,  so thankful they

have on in Tenn.

Christmas in July 2014

It's christmas in July.  What can be better.

Each year I choose special patterns to 

make christmas ornaments for some

special people.  This year I decided to

use Lizzie Kate Flora Mcsamples 2012.

The best thing about this pattern is you

get 3 different patterns for one price.

It is endless the possibilites to finish

these pieces.  Since all of the pieces 

are for stitchers I stitch with, I wanted

to make them the same but different.

Each piece has a different charm.

Some have Swarovski crystals.  The

fabrics were purchase in Fla. on

my summer vacation.  They really

match the patterns.  Some patterns

i used different colors, some I tweeked

a little bit.  I did a happy dance after

finishing these pieces.  What would

christmas be with out some chocolate?

What a beautiful cake.  

LHN finish and a trip to Ormond Beach,Fla.

 Fabrics purchased in Ormond beach

and St Augustine.

 My dads house in Fla.

 My Niece Bella and I

 Daytona Beach.  I miss the ocean so much.

Water was just beautiful.

 Bella Boogie boarding.  She is

a great swimmer.

 My Dad, Bella, and Kathy in St. Augustine.

 We took a day trip to St. Augustine

the oldest city in America.

 Beautiful Mosaic tile in St. Augustine.

 You can't have vacation without chocolate.

LHN Finish "Gingerbread cookie"

I changed the outline to Green.

An Easy stitch and so pretty.

Some finishes - a Big post for me

 I finished the third block on Hawk run hollow.

I am enjoying doing this big piece.

The colors are so nice.

 This is a design by plumstreetsamplers

It was a freebie and I only stitched a 

portion of the pattern.  The little pine

cones i found walking at the Blvd.

 This pattern is by Prairie Schooler

This is for a friends birthday coming up.

Not knowing much about the person, I

know they served in the military.

A heart in the hand seemed like a good

pattern to choose.

 This patter is by Cherry Wood Design Studios.

I added lace ribbon and the fabric really 

makes it pop.

Horses i saw yesterday walking at the park

around my block.  Who doesn't love horses.

I usually don't post such a big post, but I

didn't have time to finish my pieces until

today.  I call it my design time.  I like

putting the finishes together and see the

pieces come to life.   I know tomorrow

is Memorial Day.  Thank you to everyone

who has served for this country.  Many

have put their lives on the line for all

of us.  To(step) Dad in heaven, a special

 thanks to you. To my friends Jon & Rod and to

all the other family members who are no

longer here but served for us, thank you.

Congratulations Ryan
