Hi everyone, Happy New Year, I hope you had a lovely time over the festive season.
In 2018 I managed to get these cross stitched pieces framed and I love them all!
The quilt cross stitch piece was a Christmas gift for someone who loves quilting so it was quite perfect. I started stitching that piece on Christmas Day 2017 and finished it one week later.
Home of a Needleworker has been on my to do list for some years now but I finally got around to stitching that too, I was so pleased that I managed to finish it, although it was a quick stitch.
Strawberry House is also another one that has been in my stash for some time, I used the called for threads exactly as in the pattern, the colours are just so pretty.
The red cross was a pleasure to stitch as I used silk thread for all of the design.
Mini cats calendar 2018
I managed to stitch October, November and December of the mini cat patterns but have not finished them yet, hopefully I will get those completed soon. (Photos below)
I have designed a little mini cat pattern freebie for next week entitled "Playing in the Snow" that will be available on Freebie Friday on the 18th January. (Photo below)
The marks on the red are only marks from the glass cover, it needed cleaning but I did not see it until the photo was edited for the blog!
The free pattern will be available next week.
Until next time, happy stitching!
Golly Lynn, I have missed you. All of these works are beautiful - hope you have the Home of a Needleworker displayed in your home - so fitting for you! I hope you had a wonderful holiday season and are ready for the New Year.
