Here I am with a much delayed WIPocalypse post. When I went to write this post, I didn't think I had stitched very much. I was quite surprised to find I had accomplished quite a bit.
I stitched
ABCD pillow
UFO RR tiger
Mirabilia RR for Cat
LHN Summer Splendor
Point Loma Lighthouse
Summer Splendor and Point Loma Lighthouse are on my WIP list so I have one finish and one in progress. Not so bad after all.
I have a wonderful giveaway to post.
Dear Lynn stitches the most beautiful, amazing stitches and then finishes them impeccably. I have been trying for a number of years to win one of her awesome giveaways and it finally happened.
I won this gorgeous, dainty, beaded, tiny Valentine pillow.
And because Lynn did not want the pillow to be lonesome she sent along this stunning teapot necklace and gorgeous hand-embroidered felt heart.
Thank you so very much Lynn. These will be very treasured pieces.
For the next round of the 2012 RR I have been asked to stitch a biscornu.
I picked this freebie of maple leaves and stitched it with a beautiful Sparklies variagated thread that reminded me of autumn colors. I wanted it to be a representation of my Canadian roots.
You will notice my signature block says "Canari" - a Canadian who winters in Arizona - lol. The owner will finish them into the little pillows when they are returned to her.
And wandering around a couple of boards on facebook I ran across this little goodie. Could I turn it down? No way!!!
We are having the best time with our children and grandchildren. I will post some photos at a later date.
I hope your stitching has been frog free and full of happy smiles. Until next time.....
