ReplyDeleteI am currently working on a birthday gift for a friends upcoming b-day this month. I think she might see this, so I can't tell you exactly what it is. But I hope she likes it. The last thing I finished was a birthday gift for my friend Barbara. It was a beautiful initial and floral design that I made into a pocket/needle-book for her. I enjoy creating special gifts when I can.
Oh I am so excited that we can now see what Mary's Best looks like. I just love it! I am currently working on a cross stitched sampler called "Weeping Tree Sampler". A few months ago I finished the punchneedle pattern "Labor of Love", which I absolutely love. It turned out so cute and primitive. Thanks for all the wonderful new patterns. I can't wait to order some and start on them!
ReplyDeleteThank you for the great giveaway,

ReplyDeleteHi Brenda,
ReplyDeleteI love your blog and have been a follower for quite a while. I have been doing punch needle lately and just finished up two designs by you, Heart and Hand and Speckled Eggs. I am now working on Home Tweet Home. I absolutely love your patterns, thanks for sharing all your talents with us and I love Mary's Best Handworke!!! Guess I better place another order soon. Have a wonderful weekend!
Mary's best is beautiful. Really like the chart.
ReplyDeletePlease add me to your drawing. I really like your new items. I am currently working on and close to finishing, Maria P.Oliver's repro sampler by Kathy Barrick-Dieter. (This is actually my second time doing the chart-this time for me) I just recently finished the current free chart by Sampler Girl, Be Mine, for Valentines Day.
Mary's Best is just wonderful and I would love to make it for my sampler wall. At the moment, I am feverishly working on finishing Enjoy Your Time by Blue Ribbon Designs. My last finish was taking an old piece out of the frame and refinishing it into a pinkeep. It was transformed.

I knew I would love "Mary's Best" the first time you posted a snippet of it. The colors will go in my living room and bedroom...hmmm...maybe I will have to stitch it twice! ;)

I am finishing up a freebie from Brooke's Books Publishing by the name of "New Year's Magic" (a little late for this year, but I plan to stitch 2011 on it so I can display it this year, after Christmas). My last finish was Bent Creek's Wedding Row, a Christmas present for my son and dil who got married in 2009. My next project is going to be Cupid's Heart, which I ordered from you a few weeks ago.
