Lorrie S from Iowa has received my RAK. I mailed it on Saturday morning from WA and she received on Monday! Wow! Unusually fast USPS service!
With Thy Needle & Thread
Give Thanks
28 ct linen
Called for WDW threads
Crazy January Challenge #12 of 16 is finished! I am very proud of getting this one done! It was the over one stitching that I struggled with but eventually made work. Basting interfacing under the linen really helped to stabilize it and I never lost a stitch!
I bought the frame from Brenda's website when I bought the pattern. She painted over the black with sage green (?) I believe. What do you think of just leaving it the original black?
Another Make and Take pincushion finished! There is only one project that I don't have finished and it is larger with embroidery on it. So it will take some time and honestly, I want to put my time elsewhere right now.

Apple Tree Sampler
Another finish-finish for the sampler wall! I erroneously counted this one as #12 of my Crazy January Challenge completions. It was actually #11.

This week's Bountiful Basket--one honeydew melon, large greenleaf lettuce, broccoli, large bunch of spinach, 3 mangos, 3 lb sack of sweet onions, 3 peaches, 4 nectarines, one large shallot, 1 lb mushrooms, one eggplant, and 8 bananas. Woo hoo!
WOW!! Talk about some gorgeous finishes! I love your framed pieces--both frames are wonderful. That Halloween frame is too cute! Love the RAK, too. I was stash diving this afternoon, looking for my PS charts--they have so many cute designs. You know I love the A&E, too--great choice for the frame!
ReplyDeleteI think that black frame is a little harsh looking for the delicate stitching.
ReplyDeleteIf you need me to take some of that produce off your hands just let me know!! ;)
Wow. Is that smoke I see coming from your needles?
ReplyDeleteCongratulations on wonderful stitching and finishing!!!!
Wowza!! you have some neat finishes there, love the frame for Give Thanks.
ReplyDeleteI bet Lorrie was thrilled to receive a pretty FOB
Beautiful finishes. All of them. And totally adore your Apple Tree Sampler. Still drooling here
ReplyDeleteSuch pretty finishes. I like the black frame but am so fond of sage green too. Would look good either way I think.
