Happy Dance - Floral Heart

The World of Cross Stitching #226

Started: 4/30/2015

Finished: 5/23/2015

 

This heart was shown on plastic canvas and meant to be strung on a ribbon with several other hearts, but I stitched it on 14-count white Aida and filled in the holes for the stringing.

 

I used DMC floss, but substituted 598 for the 164.

 

This is a square for Kyleigh's quilt.

Happy Dance - Kiri the Cat

Cross Stitch Card Shop #78

Started: 4/24/2015

Finished: 4/30/2015

This was a free cover kit, but I substituted 14-count white Aida for the enclosed Aida.  I used the enclosed floss, but ran out of the dark grey so finished up with 535.  I also substituted regular cross stitches for the french knots.

This is a square for Kyleigh's quilt.

Happy Dance - Sunbonnet in the Garden

Cross Stitch Card Shop #78

Started: 3/15/2015

Finished: 4/24/3015

I stitched this on 14-count white Aida with the called for DMC floss.  I left off the words and added the border instead,  I also backstitched the flowers with the flower floss color instead of using 321.

This is the first square for the 2015 Challenge at Quilts for Older Children and Adults.  This is a year long challenge where if you stitch three different squares using the available themes, you receive some floss.

Temporarily Out of Commission

I'm sorry, but my computer crashed about a month ago, so I've been unable to post to my blog.  In addition, we've been away from home for all but about one week so haven't been able to do much about it.  My husband has finally convinced himself that the hard drive is toast and that I need a new computer so hopefully I'll be back online in the next week or too.

Happy Dance - Spring Friends

Cross Stitch Card Shop #95

Started: 3/11/2015

Finished: 3/14/2015

This was the free gift with this issue.  I substituted a larger piece of 14-count white Aida and used the enclosed floss.  I did add the border, because it was just a little too small otherwise.

This square was stitched for WOCS' Spring is in the Air quilt.
