NW-38 Sheltering Tree Autumn


NW-38 Sheltering Tree Autumn



Model stitched on
 28 ct. Pearled Barley linen by Lakeside Linens,2 over 2, using 
Gentle Art Sampler threads.

Aged Pewter
Dark Chocolate
Old Brick
Wheat Fields
Terra Cotta
Pumpkin Pie
Country Redwood
Sarsparilla

The stitch count is 94 X 89.

I finished mine by mounting it on acid free matte board,

 and then I mounted some coordinating cranberry homespun fabric 
on a foam core board that is cut 1/2 inch bigger on all sides
 to frame it.

 I hot glued these pieces together 
and put them face down on a couple layers of
 terry cloth towel (so as not to crush the cross stitches)
 and layered lots of heavy books on top.
The Gospel writers are always glad to help!



When that was all dry and firm I used applique glue to attach a thin hemp cord all around the cross stitch piece to give it a finished look.

I use Roxanne's Glue Baste-it. Look at that awesome tip! It places just the smallest dot of glue right where you want it.

I then hot glued it onto wooden slatted panel frame that I found at Hobby Lobby (item number 1303692). 
These frames are found in the wood section. They have a little easel on back perfect for standing them up anywhere you want a little cuteness!

Then I made a bow out of 1 1/2 inch cranberry homespun ribbon and attached a little burlap daisy I found in the floral section at Hobby Lobby.
 I hot glued that to the top and Wallah!
Super cute!

This cute pattern is the third in a series.
 If you want to stitch them all 
you can pick them up
 in my etsy shop
here and here!

If you stitch it send me a photo!
 I would love to see what you have done with it!

XOXO,
Annie

Quilty Neighborhood

Finally finished this one! 
Yay! Happy dance!
 I stitched and ripped this last chart many times before I was satisfied! 
I have finished the charting and this will be off to the distributor on Monday!


 Here is the entire piece before framing:

The final chart, Covered Bridge will be in my Etsy shop next week as an e-pattern. It will be in shops within the next couple of weeks!

A Happy Sunny Day!

I am feeling SO much better!
The doctor gave me an antibiotic AND a steriod and I am finally getting over this thing.
 I have now actually had 3 good nights of sleep!
Hurray!
Since I have been doing all of this needlework while I've been sick, I put all of my original cross stitch charts into a slideshow.


I have also been working on some commissions, and I have to show you a sweet little reticule that I made which is silk ribbon on a gorgeous piece of moire taffeta.
Stay tuned...

Slow down...I wanna get off!!

a cheerful pot of flowers!

My life has been like a runaway train lately!
The entire month of August and September were almost entirely given over to the wedding. With my daughter in school, working and interning she didn't have much time for wedding preparations! And on top of that we had to be all crafty and make everything ourselves...um a little like re-inventing the wheel.

THEN...
the minute the wedding was over I got sick! 
And started suffering from insomnia!!

WOW!
A double whammy!

Yesterday was the firsy day I began to feel like a human again!
LOL!
While I was sick I picked up my cross stitch, for the first time in 
OVER A YEAR!
Which is completely and totally inexcusable, since I have a serial sampler design that is not even finished. :(
I'm so ashamed! Bad! Bad designer!

But I DID pick it up again with renewed vigor for getting it finished!
It is the very last installment of the 
Quilty Newighborhood Sampler

Here is the sampler so far:
See!  Almost done! Last chart for this series. So, its coming! Its on its way. It just took a 2 week bout of the nastiest virus I have had in a long time to get me back to it!
:)

1808 Colonial Pinkeepers for sale

These are the actual models for the cover of my cross stitch chart by the same name. Once their modeling session was over they have been languishing in my model drawer, hoping I would remember them and put them up for adoption to a good home! 
Prices are ridiculously reasonable, bordering on outrageous!
They are available at TDIPT Mercantile this month.

Baskets and Wreaths

Here is a sneak peek of the project I have been obsessing about lately!
Each block will be 8" square. I think I will sash it with a batik fabric, but I'm not sure yet. I have changed the flowers so many times to get them to coordinate,
I could probably make another project just out of the rejects!
These are all wools, and once I get them all set I will begin to 
sew them down with Valdani's #12 perle cotton. The background is a lovely faded-out looking black flannel that I bought from Connecting Threads (love the lower prices there, perfect for staple fabrics like that). Click to enlarge the photo and you can get a better idea of the background fabric. This photo is a little dark, I apologize. I was playing around with the tungsten setting on my camera!

Sew what have you been doing?

New Cross Stitch Chart sneak peek!(and TDIPT offerings!)

Here is a sneak peek of my newest chart called Angels Among Us. It will be released early next week,(or maybe later this week if things go well!) I am loving the way these turned out and I especially love them on the Vintage Examplar-they just look so good! They come with the full alphabet and numbers charted so you can personalize them if you want to.

And here is a sneak peek at one of the items I have for sale on TDIPT this month. They will go live on the site at 10PM tonight. Hop on over to the mercantile for some awesome prim decor for your Christmas decorating!

And my little Carmel puppy is doing great! She is growing fast and learning to be housebroken(slowly). She has the sweetest disposition-we all just love her so much!
Have a great week!
