Hi everyone!

I´m little late with this design. I wanted to post it on Valentine´s Day. The last year I finished this cute hedgehog design called Bubbles of love which was published in the issue 136 of Quick & Easy Cross Stitch. I decided do it with pink frame and I changed bubbles´ thread. I hope I will do also design Heart Topiary which was published together with this :-)

My original post here.

Have a nice day!

Hi Everyone

Happy New Year to you all. 

I have a finish to show you.  It's the Margaret Sherry "Hedgehog with Daffodils" free gift, from 'The World of Cross Stitching', issue 225.

There are some things....

I just have finished stitching this amazing project. I must admitt it touched my heart very deeply since the moment I saw it for the first time. I was just waiting for the proper opportunity - and here it is - a "good bye" gift to a very dear person:

Stitched on 14 ct DMC aida with printed hearts with Anchor threads - project from one of the Cross Stitcher's magazine

Have a lovely day all :)

Hedgehog

 

The first step are crossstitches only. You can hardly see that it's a hedgehog.

After adding backstitches!

 

The finished card. I also used a coordinating stamp. I made this card  nearly a year ago for my sisters birthday.

My First Post - Spike In Charge

Hello everyone! I've been browsing around the Margaret Sherry Lovers blog quite a bit the past month, but this is my first post. The pattern is Margaret Sherry's Spike in Charge. I stitched this, and my boyfriend helped select and pay for the framing. We gave the finished piece to a close friend as her graduation present when she completed her four year nursing degree.



Thanks for looking!

"Bee Happy" Hedgehog

Finally another small finish, and I really do mean a finish!  After I finished stitching the Margaret Sherry "Bee Happy" hedgehog design I decided to "finish" him off as a little hanging pillow. 

For some strange reason the image of this cute hedgehog as a pillow had been "brewing" in my imagination since I started stitching him.  I knew exactly where to find the perfect piece of fabric to back the pillow with too.  In hubby's stash!!

So I had everything ready to go: one finished piece of stitching, beautiful backing fabric, needles and thread, and a couple of spare hours on a Sunday afternoon.  As sewing machines and I don't generally get on as a rule, I hand stitched the first three sides and then stuffed the pillow and blind stitched side number 4!

Voilà!  We now have a lovely finished hedgehog pillow.

"Bee Happy" designed by Margaret Sherry
Cross Stitcher, June 2010

 

Love this fabric!
 Hubby used it as the border on his "Cat's Meow" quilt.

This is such a happy design, don't you think?  I really loved stitching this design and enjoyed finishing it off as a pillow.  It's not very often that a design gives my imagination such a thump as this one did!  I am really pleased that I allowed my brain to "go with the flow" so to speak.  I do hope that my imagination keeps on bringing ideas to the surface as it might mean I will "finish" off a few more stitched items rather than filing them away in my completed project file.

Pop on over to my blog for further stitching updates!

Til next time,

New Haircut

Cross Stitcher Magazine has a new freebie by Margaret Sherry called "New Haircut", which can be found here.  It was posted on Monday and I have finished stitching it today (Wednesday).    The most difficult bit was the writing with all the french knots.  And here it is.

New Haircut!

Happy Stitching Everyone

Let's Bee Friends

Well, I've finally finished "Let's Bee Friends".  I stitched him for the March SAL on the Yahoo Margaret Sherry Cross Stitch Group (MSCSG).  I first started him in June 2010 as he was a free cover kit in Cross Stitcher Magazine 226.  I had a few problems with the kit as I like to do everything in 2 threads and not 1.  So I had quite a bit of unpicking until I got it right.  The flowers are in 2 threads and done in Anchor thread.  The cover kits threads were not Anchor, so I used what I had in my own stash.  Thanks to the group SAL, he is now finished and not a UFO anymore.

Some time ago I stitched an Archie Bear card for my friends Birthday.  I've just realised that I have not shared it with you, so here he is now.

Happy Stitching Everyone

Christmas Designs

You can never be too early for Christmas!!  I like to start early.  So I thought I would share some of my smaller card designs with you.  I finished the Mouse with a stocking only yesterday.  I changed the stars on the stocking to gold to give it a bit of sparkle.  The last one is one of the Sports and Hobbies designs from Cross Stitcher.
