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.
Feel free to click on the photos for a better view.
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!
I think that black frame is a little harsh looking for the delicate stitching.
If 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?
Congratulations on wonderful stitching and finishing!!!!
Wowza!! you have some neat finishes there, love the frame for Give Thanks.
I bet Lorrie was thrilled to receive a pretty FOB
Beautiful finishes. All of them. And totally adore your Apple Tree Sampler. Still drooling here
Such pretty finishes. I like the black frame but am so fond of sage green too. Would look good either way I think.
happy stitching....and kudos to almost being finsihed with your Challenge pieces!
Beautiful finishes! Give Thanks has such a pretty frame!
Best wishes,
Tatyana
All your finishes look great... but my favorite has to be The Apple Tree Sampler.
