EMS Wild Rose

I managed to finish another project for the Stitcher's Village Round Robin.  The owner of this piece let us choose the project to stitch as long as it was a rose.  So after many hours searching I decided to go with EMS Wild Rose, a free pattern in the 2010 Flower Series.  I stitched this on 14ct white Aida using DMC threads.

I really like this series and plan to stitch more of these lovely flowers.

Enjoy!!

Round Robin Finish

After a little stitching drought (lol) I have finished a project.  This a pink (looks red but it is really pink) carnation from EMS' 2010 Flower of the Month free patterns.  The owner of this piece in the RR left it up to the stitchers to pick the project as long as it was a flower theme.  So I found out her birth month and selected the carnation.  It was a bit of a challenge to stitch because July was a crazy month in our household and the dreaded frog visited this piece on several occasions. 

Speaking of a busy month.  All of July and the first week of August was crazy we had a former exchange student and her hubby visit for two weeks.  Took two three out of town trips to Dodge City, Eureka Springs and Dallas.  Throw in a week of VBS--where I volunteered and visits to the eye doctor, speech therapist, my doctor and Church mini-mission for the kids--I was busy.  Now that everyone is gone I am trying to return to my normal routine and hopefully back to my blog--I have so many blogs to read and catch up on how you all are doing.  I miss all of you.

We continue to roast here in North Texas, my yard is brown and the city has entered stage 1 of water restrictions.  They are telling us to only water between 6pm and 11am and not to use sprinkler systems.  So I am just watering my trees and potted plants.  Hopefully we will have green grass next year. 

See ya!!

RR Finish

Yesterday, I completed part 3 of  a Round Robin hosted by the Stitchers' Village.  This project was small but the back stitching was a bear.  The design is from a British stitching magazine not sure which one, it is a series of six cute little kitties.  I quite am happy to send this little kitty on to the next stitcher.  

See ya!!

Stitcher's Village Round Robin

I recently joined a six person round robin on on The Stitcher's Village Forum. Our little group is called the Night Owls, since most of us stitch at night.  My project, Peppermint Twist by Blue Ribbon Designs, was stitched up and shipped out on the 18th.  This group is restricted to Aida so I choose to use 14ct, platinum from DMC.  It will be a nice contrast for the red, white, gold and green floss.  I stitched all the border's and my fellow stitchers will pick an area to stitch.  They can stitch as much as they want, it is their choice.  I am just so happy to have this one started.  Don't mind the wrinkles I will press it out later.

Finished sample from BRD site. Love this frame.

This is what I am stitching this round, it is call Black cats and Flying Bats also from BRD. 

See ya!!
