Tavern House

It's all appliqued....and ready for the backing.  I have been working on this as a block a month class project since May.  I only have the backing left to do......love it..  "The Tavern House" by Maggie Bonanomi.   Linda

Month Ahead of Time

Does it ever seem like the project you are working on is for the season that just got over.  Well this time I actually am one month ahead of schedule.  This is my No. 10 Pumpkin Lane rug, by Janice Johnson, Wooley Woolen Rugs.  I took a class for this rug back in May and just finished it this week.  I hope to buy my carpet tape this week so I can get it hung on the wall and make the house feel like fall.    Linda

Nellie Sturr - New Pattern

Here is a small sampler that I've been working on (7 1/4 x 9 1/4). Only uses three colors of floss.  I'm trying out a new charting software and so far am very pleased with how it works (thanks Primitive Betty for your recommendation).  This pattern can be found under my Patterns tab!  Enjoy  Linda

Prim Sisters Club

Wanted to show all of you my August project for the Prim Sisters Club offered by The Country Sampler www.sgcountrysampler.com   If you are not a member you can join anytime.  This is a quick stitch pinkeep with a great muted/old looking backing fabric designed by Jeanne Horton of the Country Sampler.   Hope you enjoy!    Linda

Mary Ann Danniels - 1865

Well here it is, the sampler I've been working on for the last two months......that last row never seems to come.  The first picture is the original sampler and the other pictures are my reproduction.  My favorite part is the dull thread colors and the band of birds in the middle .....how sweet is that......their own little parade.  It is a larger sampler and measures 12 1/2 x 17 framed....I stitched on 28 count linen...  The pattern is for sale on my pattern page.  Linda

Oh Lord My Strength

It seems like I have quite the collection of size 4 x 12 1/2 frames.....anyone else?????  I really didn't think it would be so difficult to come up with something to stitch in such a narrow width but it was hard.  I just finished charting the pattern....I went all out with this one and used 5 different colors of floss including a mauve/pink....which I typically don't use.....now I'm off to chart a really fun sampler can't wait to share it with you. 

I love you O Lord my Strength - Psalms 18:1.............  Happy Friday!  Linda

Marjorie's Sewing Box

 

See what you can do with an empty hot tea box............I call this Marjorie's Sewing Box in remembrance of my grandma who showed me the love for sewing.....I have made this up into a pattern if you are interested.
