Another Give Away at Victorian Motto Sampler Shoppe

Hi there folks, I know, I haven't been posting much...been busy stitching and enjoying life!

Today, I want to give you a link to a great giveaway. Nancy dyes her own floss and her colors are so rich! I recently purchased some cotton chenille from her and they too were wonderful....way easier to use chenille to finish an ornament than using cording. Her customer service is right on target.She answered all of my questions and shipping was timely and reasonable. I recommend her shoppe, very much so.

Here is the link to her current giveaway that closes on June 14. Good luck and let her know I sent you! ChrisG, that is!

Happy stitching to all!

A Giveaway at To Stitch or Not to Stitch!

Hello all, I know its been a long time since I last posted. I have been busy stitching and doing Holiday related activities so not much time to blog. Also, still no camera! Might Santa bring me one this year? I certainly hope so! I thought to post about a lovely giveaway that Barbara is having at her blog. I really enjoy her blog and visit quite often. Check it out and join the fun! Here is the link: Barbara's Wonderful Giveaway!.  Good luck and Merry Christmas to all.

Stitchy news...at last!

Hello friends,

I have finally decided to use a phone to take a few pics of the summer's finishes and a few other things. I have never finished these many projects in a few months and must admit that the other stitchers on my Yahoo groups keep me going. Well, without further ado, I give you my projects!

 The above is Permin's Moonlit Boats. I started this a few years ago but didn't really work on it in earnest till a few months ago...and voila. Love it.

 The above is Rabbit in the Berry Patch....I may have up-loaded this one before, I forget now. This was an easy stitch and I just enjoyed it so very much. It's by Cedar Hill Designs. I used Charles Craft Sea Mist in 14 ct Aida. The chart called for R&R Reproductions See Fog.

 You've seen this one before, tried for a better pic with little improvement. Its As the Crow Flies by The Prairie Schooler. This one was weird cause sometimes I liked the simple lines and blocks of colors and other times I thought "Oi vey...when will I finish this all ready?!!"

 The above is Quaker Halloween by Jardin Prive. I have substituted everything. Am using WDW in Grits and Onyx, DMC 208 for purple and 4124 added for a spot of color. Time will tell, but I think the orange is too bright. This one is moving right along after a bit of initial frogging.

 The above is a freebie from DMC - don't think it's still available in their Club. You can't tell but this is on a lovely muted yellow, called Pumpkin by R&R Reproductions. Color is similar to the inside of a pale pumpkin.

Well, that's it. Oh, wait. My blog is one year old all ready and I want to do a give-away just in time for Christmas or Winter stitching. I am giving away Wee Candy Cane by Heart in Hand and Pine Tree Inn by Little House Needleworks. Links to pics here: Wee Candy Cane and Pine Tree Inn. I will throw in some trim, fabric and other little surprises.

Rules:
Be a follower and leave a comment for one entry into the drawing. Post about the giveaway in your blog or other site and get another entry (and let me know the site for verification).

The drawing shall be held on October 10th.

I shall post the name of the winner on this blog on October 10th, so please come back to see if you have won (or make sure I have your email so I can notify you).

Am I missing anything?

Now I can say "that's it"!

Thanks for stopping by and I appreciate all comments.

Hugs,

My First Give-away

Hello to all my stitchy friends out there,

I am sponsoring my first stash give-away just in time to celebrate Independence day for the good ole US of A. I am keeping it simple, nothing to do but be a follower and leave a comment that you would like to be entered into the drawing. Leave a contact address or check this blog for an announcement of the winner on May 30th.

Here is what the give-away includes:

•  LizzieKate Snippet, "Land That I Love" chart. The finished stitched area is 3" by 5.25"
• 9" x 12" piece of 25 count Dublin Linen in Driftwood.  
•  and three little star shaped charms. I used these to substitute for the heart charm  called for in the chart with very good results.

I won't be including the threads as I substituted with what I had on hand and you may wish to do the same.

Here is pic:

Thank you for following me and leaving comments along the way. Good luck to all (does that even make sense?)
