Letters from Nora-Mirabilia Design "C"

Made this for my oldest daughter-Cecilia-for her birthday. Now to find a frame.

Cottage Creations Mystery Sampler

Becky Autry designed a mystery sampler for the Sampler Guild of the Rockies group. We had to choose our own colours and each mth during the summer we receive our part. This is part one complete. I didn't have too many overdyed silks to choose from and every Sat we have been busy so I couldn't get to the LNS, so these are the silks I chose. Still not too sure if I like my choices but hope it grows on me.

Spring Tyme Sampler

A beautiful design by With Thy Needle. I am going to put it on the hornbook soon as I get it finished staining etc

Here is is completed (except for nailing it on)

Irish Rose Doily from free chart at Craftown

Ceramic Masque

One of my best friends brought this back from Italy for me. Isn't it just beautiful?

Whitman Sampler Tin -Red

I just loved this little red tin and the designs that Fancywork made for It. Stitched up quick but the finishing took time. I changed the way they had it finished. And this was my first biscourni which I just loved. Stitched on 32 ct antique Belfast linen with Weeks Thread.

All Year Pin Cube completed!

Whitman Sampler Tin finishes

I finished two (one for me and one for a friend) of a tiny Whitman Sampler Tin sewing box by Fancyworks.

Summer

This beautiful pin and scissor keep by Betsy Morgan of Willing Hands Needlework Designs was our project at the Sampler Guild of the Rockies. Betsy will be coming next month to show us how to assemble it and bring our scissors for the fob. It stitched up quick and was a wonderful project using the silk threads. I can't wait to get it put together in April.

Shepherds Bush Luck

My Christmas Tree

Here is where I get to show off all the ornaments I have stitched thru the years and some that were gifts.

My beautiful ornaments received in SAL's

What wonderful ornaments I got this year. I got little slippers and a camel ornie Mel sent me along with her wonderfully stitched ornie.The santa Sandy beaded and the lovely delicate ornie from Nancy. I love them all!

My Quilt

I took a little break from stitching to get one of the quilts made I am giving to my daughters for Christmas. I hope to get about 3 made before the holidays but here's hoping. It's a Trip Around The World quilt made with 9 different fabrics. Turned out quite well considering I rushed it.

I also knitted these 3 scarves for my sister and her two girls.

Needlepoint Stockings

These stockings were started by a friends mother and never finished. I took them and finished a little bit of the needlework-naming etc and then sewed them together-she was quite pleased!
