I stitched this for my friend Carl and his wife. They were married in April as you can see from the date but I only finished this in November. The pattern was from a Twilley's of Stamford kit. I used the materials in the kit but now I wish I had switched out the aida.
This is from Judy Dixon of Sew to be Seen, its a complete kit called Inspirations. I model stitched it on Sugar Maple fabric for Jayne's Attic.
Another Judy Dixon, called Vine Bouquet, also a complete kit and also a model for Jayne's Attic. Stitched this time on Jobelan.
Chatelaine's Rose Lights. I didn't do all the stitching on this, only the special stitches and the beading. It was a model for Martina Weber, but I intend to stitch this for myself too.
Carriage House Samplings Sarah's Pink Bird. I love this piece! Its on my chest of drawers next to my bed. Its so little and delicate and the pattern is exquisite. The actual size is about 2.5 inches by 1.5 inches. The fabric is 40 ct.
This is Bent Creek's Leaf. I liked doing this a lot too - I substituted loads of colours and I've made it into a box top. Here's the piece:
