Truly STUNNING.....

Blackberry Lane Designs "The Three Wisemen"
Stitched OVER ONE on 40 ct Newcastle w/DMC

Isn't this GORGEOUS beyond belief?  My dear friend Char stitched this for me.  It came in the mail today & I'm just speechless.  I told her she needed to keep it, but she is going to stitch it again for herself - she is going to do the series of 6 over one and make a bellpull out of them.  I've already been in touch with Jill Rensel about framing mine!!  Can you imagine - 40 stitches in a an inch - 1600 in a square inch?  It just boggles my mind.  I don't mind stitching over 1, but on 40 count?  Geez......
I've known Char for 12 years and she has gifted me with several beautiful stitched gifts - they just seem to get better & better!


And changing the subject - I'll have the drawing for the winner of my contest (below) tomorrow!!!

Happy stitching!!!


Edited to answer Missy's question - she stitched it with full x's!  She said after she'd gotten a fair amount done she wishes she'd used /'s though - it got a bit "bulky" even with one strand - but it's still GORGEOUS!

A few finishes....

Image
Believe it or not, I've been doing a little bit of stitching/sewing lately and below are a few of my finishes.  This is LHN's Joy To The World, one of my favorites by Diane.  I made it into a small pillow instead of an ornament.  I love this one! I've been wanting to do some embroidery "just because".  I found a pattern in a quilt shop during the Pals Fall Fling last month that had 8 or so little snowmen all done in red.  It doesn't get much better than that - so here are my first 4.  I haven't done any embroidery since childhood - it's fun!  And boy is it faster than stitching!   I did these 4 on Sunday & I think they're pretty cute if I do say so myself.  I have a few more traced onto fabric - some are for gifts - hope the recipients will like them! I do have a few other items stitched but they aren't finished yet, so I'll save them to show later. Thanks for stopping by! Happy stitching!!
