Owl Finish

This little owl is an internet freebie I found here ages ago on the Stitching the Night Away blog and stitched him up for Quilts for Older Children and Adults. Once I get him pressed he will be packaged up and mailed to Pennsylvania to be added to a quilt. I love stitching for Q4OAC and I almost quit this year due to some personal issues, so glad I didn't.

French Country Cat and Pattern Giveaway

8/25 The winner is Linda, comment # 3.  Please send me your snail mail.  Congrats!!

Here is a little cat I stitched up for a friend at Christmas. I stitched it on an old piece of hand-dyed evenweave from Enchanted Fabrics -- wish she was still in business.   Plan to frame it up and give it to my BFF the cat lover.  This is my 9th finish for 2013 and my 6 project finished on my CJC 2013 list. 

I am giving away this pattern from JBW Designs.  If you would like to have it leave a comment by Friday 23 August.  I will announce it's new home on the 24th.

Stitched With Love Exchange - Birds, Bees and Butterflies

Last month I participated in a Bird, Bees and Butterflies themed exchanges with the ladies on the  Stitched With Love Exchanges blog.  You could focus on one, two or all three creatures. I chose birds to send to Judith in Germany because I love Prairie Schooler Prairie Birds. It has always been one of my favorite pattern sources for birds and that is what I used for this exchange.  I threw in a few skeins of floss, some colorful felt, fabric, bird house note pad and note cards, metallic floss, needles, etc. 

To Judith in Germany

My package from Melanie in the UK was fabulous.  She chose to stitch up a lovely bird pillow (my DD adores it), sweet heart cushion, bee tape measure, butterfly buttons, fabric, beads, bird ribbon.  Just a super exchange!!

Christmas Pear Finish

Oh my, it has been ages since I have posted a finished piece on my lonely little blog. The last two weeks have been great weeks for stitching. I have lots of goodies to share with you. Something that truly excites me is my 11 year old who turns 12 next month has finally picked up a needle and started stitching. Granted it is a Pokémon image, but she is stitching and doing a fine job. I look forward to publishing it on this blog.

As for me I finished this darling Christmas Pear from Samplers and Santas, if you don't already visit her blog you must give it a try, it is fun and refreshing, she is a very engaging writer. I just blog to share my simple finishes, Marly blogs to share life's moments and it is very entertaining--well, at least I am entertained. I wish I were doing what she is doing at our age, instead I still have 3 kids in elementary school-- that is what happens when you get a late start. No regrets, it's just a little noisy at times.

This pattern is on my Crazy January Challenge 2013 list I may get through the entire list by the end of December.  WooHoo!!
