My New Start...and Finish

When I spent the day with my good friend, Joan, last week, she loaned me her pattern for the new Shakespeare's Peddler pillow. I was attracted to the way it was finished but I maybe needed to change the colors.


I started it on Friday and finished the stitching this morning.


I decided to go ahead and finished it right away.



Gentle Stitches
Shakespeare's Peddler
32ct. remnant (Antique Rose?)
DMC #437, 3041, 644, 838 and 3347
Date started stitching: 3/23/2012
Date finished stitching: 3/25/2012

It was very easy and fairly quick to finish. I am very pleased with the outcome.

Hope everyone is having a great weekend!

I absolutely love this piece! I don't know if there was ever a piece that I enjoyed more than this one. I think it is the colors. This picture will not do it justice. It is much better in real life. Thanks to my good friend, Joan, for the frame that turned out to be just perfect.




This piece I did sometime ago, obviously, it kind of got misplaced. It is "Jenny Bean Sampler" from Shakespeare's Peddler. My dad always called me Jilly Bean so I changed mine. This is my first pinkeep as a round. I thought it was going to be alot harder than it was.

I am so happy with all of these finishes. It is such a great joy (and sometimes relief!) when a piece is completely finished.


I started a new project the other day, "Home of a Needleworker" by Little House Needleworks. I knew I have had this in my stash for quite sometime, but when I saw the copyright was 2003, I felt a little embarrassed. Yikes! It's about time I stitch this one up. Here's my progress so far.



Well that's all I have for today. Thanks for stopping by.

Happy Stitching!
