Today I am going to share some of my needlework with some blue in it!
The first two are designs by Chatelaine Designs (Martina Weber). Both are large pieces and took over 100 hours each to do. (both are at the framers being framed)
Angel of Love by Lavender & Lace had over 4000 beads. I stitched for my Mom’s 70th birthday.
Angel of Christmas by Lavender & Lace. I did in blues, rather than red/greens. I stitched her in honor of a nurse/friend named Janet who touched my life more than she will ever know…..
and the final two were “quick” (in comparison to the others). Both are designs by Just Nan
Thanks for stopping by and visiting my blog …… Have a great day!

The samplers and other work are just gorgeous. I do counted cross stitch, too. I haven't done any since last winter. You have inspired me to start a kit I purchased at a yard sale last summer. Thanks for sharing.

Miss Susan, Where in the world do you find the time to do all this stitchery? ;) These are OUTSTANDING! I used to do this type of work many years ago, it takes alot of blood, sweat, and tears to complete one., and yes, 100 hrs is probably very accurate per item! Very lovely! ~CC Catherine
ReplyDeleteWasn't sure the new ones would fit either since we bought them after the cabinets went in;)phew on that one Thanks for stopping in;) French
ReplyDeleteSusan, I didn't know you stitched!! These are absolutely stunning!! I cross-stitch & love to embellish, but I bow down to you, my Stitching Queen!!
ReplyDeleteBig TX Hugs,
