Last night while looking through my Shepherds Bush kits and charts, I came across this one. It was almost done! Now why had I put it away? No clue...anyway, I stitched up the last four rows, attached the sterling silver shepherd and voila! It is done!
Oh, don't worry....I am still stitching away on the front of my Gingerbread House today.
Two posts in one day!! Oh, my!!
Well, I picked up my Sail Away that was framed by The Stitching Post (Baltimore) yesterday. I usually go for all the bling, lots of mats, fancy cuts, doodads added on, etc. But this time, I restrained myself and went with a simple frame. This was a new frame that The Stitching Post had just received. A nice deep blue green, just slightly distressed, with little medallions on each corner. You could pick how many of the medallions you wanted. It doesn't show in the picture, but each corner has one.
And a close-up of the medallions:
(It's really difficult to try and take a picture of a loong picture like this one....but then, my picture taking skills are nill...;)
Two of my favorite designers!! Here's my Shepherds Bush Autumn Blessings finished as a hanging.
...and Little House Needleworks freebie, Sweet Berries, also as a hanging..
On Autumn Blessings, I only completed a portion, not the entire band sampler.
Edited to take out large pictures, since a lot of the details were much too visible.
For the most part, this is a nice piece to stitch. There is quite a bit of over one lettering, and special stitches galore. I'm especially fond of the little beehives toward the bottom. Plenty of little bees everywhere!
Oh, and the misspellings were part of the chart. Unless, of course, it is a take on some "old" English with which I'm not familiar.
