Garden of Life was a lot of fun to stitch, although it took me longer then I thought it would. Life doesn't always allow time for stitching; too bad right?! I love the Smyrna cross on the bird, it adds alot of depth to the piece. I have only had a few pieces that called for 'fancy stitches' so I think a piece that involves a bit more is an order. I have a few in mind...... Whitework Sampler anyone??Completing this piece is very exciting, because now I have time to devote to the new piece (yeah!) I mentioned earlier this week, and will post a picture soon. One hint for you, it is a Quaker piece. Hope all of you have a great weekend!

Love it, especially the bird, the fancy stitches really sets him off. Congrats on the finish, what is the White Sampler????
ReplyDeleteI think I know the mysterious new piece--is it Mary Wigham??
ReplyDeleteYour Garden of Life is beautiful. I love Blackbird Designs as they quite often have a few speciality stitches here and there and the bird's wing certainly looks good in this piece.
ReplyDeleteBeautiful! Congratulations on your finish, I have to agree with Jolene, the bird looks amazing. Love it a lot.
ReplyDeleteGreat finish! Thanks for the closeups showing the Smyrna -- love how that came out!

It's wonderful! You are such a speedy stitcher. And yes, the blackbird is great. I love the detail work in it.
ReplyDeleteCongratulations! It's always such a great feeling to finish a piece. Not to mention the exhiliration of starting something new - I can't wait to see what it is (MW?)
