ABC of Aging Artfully-Fair Ribbon

I thought I would post a picture of my completed stitched and framed piece that includes the gold label with the name of the piece added to the frame. Also, a picture of the stitched pieces I entered in our Fort Bend County, TX Fair with my ribbons won.

Keep forgetting to add stitching piccies to the various blog groups I belong to ... I really need to remedy that!  Here is my latest Lizzie*Kate finish - Happy Haunting, from the Fall Crazy leaflet :)

Saturday 1st - Seasonal Start

Hello all!
I'm afraid I haven't posted to this lovely blog for awhile. My needle has been busy with other projects, but my latest start is a Lizzie Kate :)

It's Autumn Sampler, and I've done a fair bit so far.


I'm stitching this on a piece of mystery fabric using a collection of WDW, DMC and Sampler Threads. It's a mix of recommended threads and what I had to hand. 
This design is perfect for the upcoming season. I hope to get it finished into a small pillow this year!

Best wishes,
Bekca

Stitched on 40ct hand dyed fabric from Sparklies (sorry cannot find the colour) and using the flosses recommended by LK which are a mix of Crescent Colours and Weeks Dye Works.

Laura's Ho Ho Ho in a Row

Stitched on a Silkweaver Solo with DMC took a few hours to stitch las year and only just got finished this month. I used a christmas print for the back and a purple plum and gold twisted cord with tiny knots and freyed edges for a bit of fancy. I didnt actually like the cording but for some reason it works and looks better in person.

Halloween ABC

Time for a new start :-)
I picked up the chart and floss on ebay for less than a third of the retail value :-) and used the saving to buy the fabric.
I love it already :-) And I should have plenty of time to get it finished and framed in time for halloween :-)

"Normal"

... is just a setting on the washer.

I completely forgot to post here that I'd started this design a few weeks back & I've been enjoying adding some stitches most evenings.

This is where I'm currently at, to see earlier pictures you'll have to visit my blog (shameless plug there!)
Happy Stitching :)

stitched on 28ct khaki evenweave
w/DMC

I picked up all of 6 Fat Men after Christmas and couldn't
resist stitching the first two.  Aren't they jus the cutest??? 
I plan to finish them into little pillows and display
them in a basket to enjoy all winter.
Hopefully it won't take me too long to stitch the others!

Any one else stitching these?
