Wow..another post so soon. I have my four seasonal exhange partners so I am happy. I have found charts for two of them and will be starting them soon. best to utilise the stitching bug while it is there lol.
On my WIP front, I have not got much further on anything. This is my new start.
I am going to pick this up in about two mins and do some more on it.
Lanybleu has received my exhange gifts and tree ornie.
It is a freebie from My Big Toe Designs. I love that some designers offer free charts. I had never heard of Big Toe before I did a random search for free xmas charts for my Irish group's chart challenge. Now I have. It is worth designers using freebies as a carrot on a stick as it gives us a chance to see what their designs are like and then buy from them. Will I be buying from these guys? Of course lol. So win-win.
So without any more ado...here is the one I stitched for Elaine.
I slightly altered the design and it is backed on Navy felt which is in turn backed on white felt with gold tinsley bits in it and I used some of my felty trim which I bought from Motto Sampler Shoppe in the summer. Everyone who took part in the challenge had the same chart but we could stitch and finish it as we wished. I am always thrilled by the results and the variety which is produced by some very talented ladies.
And a reminder of the one Elaine stitched for me
Beautiful.
Well, stitching is awaiting so ' I shall do as the French do and say Au Revoir' (guess what I was watching last night lol).
Happy needles!
Both are looking so cute..
ReplyDeleteLots of love for you
