Some stitching pictures

This piece is a Blackbird Designs chart from their Halloween booklet from a couple years back called Trix or Treat. I chose to do this one over one on a piece of unknown fabric. The fabric is a piece that was sold by the bolt at Hobby Lobby a few years back. Not exactly sure if it's an aida or a linen :) It is like a Fiddler's Cloth in color. I had my finisher do this one as a pinkeep. I love how it turned out. This piece is for my partner in BBD exchange group.
Here is my finished stitching of the Peacock Pinkeep chart along with the needlework accessory from the chart by Blackbird Designs. I stitched it with the recommended fabric and threads. It's now ready to mail off to my finisher to be made into the pinkeep and needlebook.
Here are 2 of the ornaments that will be for Mom for Christmas. She has asked that I make her ornaments this year for her gift. I think that I now have 12 stitched and will be receiving them back from finisher soon. One is by JBW done over 1 to make it smaller and the other is by an old chart I had. Maybe I will have to wrap them and let her open one a day....ooooo maybe I need to see if I can get some more stitched and give her 25 to open one a day like an advent calendar!

Here is my Peppermint Twist by Blue Ribbon Designs. I really love this piece and am planning on finishing it as a pillow instead of framing. I stitched it on 40 ct. Not the called for fabric as I couldn't find that at the time otherwise it is done as charted. I am really beginning to love stitching on 40 count! It looks so delicate and is so much smaller than on 28 count which I like since I am running out of room on my walls.


Have been working on a model for my not so local needlework shop and Villages of Hawk Run Hollow. I really would like to get it finished before I get the new Christmas one. Have you seen the sneak peeks that Kathy is giving us on her blog? I can't wait to see the entire chart it is a definite must stitch piece.
Happy Stitching NO Ripping!

I just wanted to let you know that the fabric you are speaking of for the unknown fabric you were using was 28 count Oatmeal evenweave. At least if it's the fabric I'm thinking of. I don't think that Charles Craft makes it anymore as I haven't been able to find it. I really liked it so I bought a lot of it when it went on clearence. I remember that it went down to like $4.33 per yard.I wish I could find some more of it.I really like the Trix or Treat finish.Very nice.Do you ever make it down to Cecilia's Samplers in Branson? My family and I went there a couple of weeks ago and love it.I miss the Thread Peddler and aggrivated that we don't have any needlework shop closer. I can buy my Weeks Dye Works at The Quilt Sampler though.What they don't have Simply Fibers does.Take care.
