Firstly, I would like to thank each and every one of you who took time to comment on my last post. I read each and every one and the messages about my DD truly warmed my heart. Thank you thank you. xxxx
As I was sorting through lots of stitching finishes the other day I realised I had not blogged my finish on Snow Garden by Blackbird Designs. I can't believe I didn't show this one. This was gifted to me (threads included) by my lovely stitching sister Tracy.
I went with the vintage Country Mocha fabric from Belfast linen 32 count but some of the stitches look very pale. I notice that a lot of these designs turn out quite differently from each other depending on the colour run of the hand dyeds.
You might have noticed the initials I have used on the left hand side. These are T for Tracy, L for Lesley and T for Tina (no blog) - my best three stitching buds and you will also notice the three Ws - they look a little like birds - these stand for World Wide Web as I met my three stitching buds through the WWW! So this first piece of the AotH series is dedicated to these three sisters. Cheers to you guys!
I have been busy with my August goals completing not just one CCN ornie but two!
A Christmas Birdhouse
Merry Merry
These were fun to stitch and didn't take long.
Today I got this through the post. I had entered Vickie's giveaway for the Travelling Pattern and I am next in line. I have to stitch it and then pass it on to somebody else to stitch and round and round it goes, connecting us all together into a kind of stitching sisterhood. So do look out for that post when I have stitched it.
So, that's a quick update from me. I will be going to the Nimble Thimble meet up on Saturday and I can't wait to see everyone again and have a lovely quiet day of stitching. I am not sure what to take to stitch as part of me thinks I should take the opportunity to start something new. I have many charts ready to start that I want to stitch but I do want to get some stuff finished as well.
I will let you know what I decide soon.
Please help yourself to a shortbread biscuit!
Pop back again soon!

Beautiful stitching! I especially love the personalizations you did on this piece, those are the things that show the extra love being stitched into it and make it more precious. Thanks for sharing!
Snow Garden is beautiful. I love the colours you have chosen for this design and the personalisation too.
I stitched the Travelling Pattern some time ago. Look for my name if there is still a sheet of paper with it!
I do love your Blackbird Designs stitching, they are my favourite designers and I love to see how the designs show up differently on different fabrics and colours. x
Your BBD finish is beautiful, so delicate and fine on that fabric 💜!
Your snow garden is beautiful - I love the pale colours. You are sooo productive!
