Becky has stitched up the ~*Crow*~ Freebie... and finished it so wonderfully! The stitching was done with brown Valdani floss on 22 count Hardanger. When she was finished with the stitching, she mounted it to a board with the candles. How primitive-charming is that?
Thank you again, Becky, for stitching & sharing!
As for stitches from my hands... well, here are a few sneak peeks...
The top three pieces of fabric are stitches I've been working on for pattern releases. The stitches are set... now I need to get to the finishing. More will be shared soon. *wink* The bottom one is a sampler I've stitched up as a gift. Once I sort through my collection of 8 by 10 frames to choose the best one... I'll share it here with you. The gift receiver isn't on the computer much... so I'm sure she won't see it too soon.
Wishing you all warm smiles...
Betty
You do such wonderful stitcheries, I need more practice to find my style. Love how she did the board. I found a couple of candle boards at the antique consignment, but thought of making my own. Would be nice to leave a space for a punched piece.

And a dandy it is! Love the idea of adding the candles to the board under the stitchery... I might have to give that a try too! Your stitching is beautiful too, Betty! A lot faster than I am... better get off this computer so I can catch up to ya'! LOL!

Oh, I love Becky's finish. Thanks to both you and Becky for sharing. Did Becky say where she got the board that she mounted the stitching on?
