Catch up Post - Miscellaneous Happy Dances

Ladybug Cow

Started: 4/22/2017

Finished: 4/24/2017

The pattern for this came from Silly Cows and was stitched for WOCS (World of Charity Stitching).  It's a fun theme that we've done several times through the years.

February Fairy

Started: 3/2/2017

Finished: 4/21/2017

March Fairy

Started: 4/25/2017

Finished: 5/16/2017

Both of these were stitched from the free Calendar from the December 2016 Cross Stitcher magazine.  The designer is Lily of the Valley and I plan to do all of them at some point.  Both are stitched on 25-count Lugana with the called for DMC.

Cardinal Hangup

Started: 5/22/2017

Finished: 6/4/2017

This is from Diane Arthurs (Imaginating).  It's stitched on 25-count white Lugana and will eventually be made into a banner.  I'm keeping this one!

Two More Finishes

January Fairy

Started: 1/24/2017

Finished: 2/17/2017

This is the January Fairy from the Lily of the Valley Fairy Calendar chart book that came with the December 2016 Cross Stitcher magazine.

She is stitched on 25-count pewter Lugana with the called for DMC threads.  The only change I made was to leave off 2016 which was stitched in the stars on her headband as I plan to stitch all 12 and make them into a quilt and I don't know when that will happen.

Bounce House

Started: 2/17/2017

Finished: 2/18/2017

This is by Lucie Heaton in the Challenge Lucie section of Cross Stitch Crazy #184. 

It is stitched on 14-count white Aida with the called for DMC threads except that I used 310 instead of 3799 which I couldn't find in my stash.

This is for Kyleigh's quilt and I chose it because she loves to play in bounce houses whenever possible.
