Giveaway winners and more patriotic finishes!!!

First of all, I would like to say a huge" Thank you" to all of you who visit my blog~ I am truly honored by the kind words you say about my stitching~ I have had the best fun these past 12 months both blogging and making all my new cross stitch friends. When I was writing down the 116 names to pull from for the giveaway, I was blown away~~ 116 comments~~ NEVER did I ever expect the turnout to be so awesome~ I decided to have the original giveaway package and 3 additional names were drawn for one of the mini pincushions I made...So.....



Deb's name was drawn for the giveaway package~~ Congrats Deb!!...Please email me with your mailing address~~



And, the 3 additional names I drew for a pincushion were: Terri(TerriBoog), Natalie and Myra. If you ladies will also email me with your mailing address, I will send these on out to you this week..Way to go~~~

BBD Fourth of July Stocking (July)

BBD Quaker Fragments (March)

Last night I was on a finishing "roll" and got 2 BBD stockings put together....Dont laugh, but the one on the right is actually from March stocking series...I just made it my own by using patriotic colors....These were alot of fun~~


Lizzie Kate-Gold Bless America

God Bless America has always been a favorite of mine....It is long and narrow so I made into a little pillow stuffed with fiberfill, edged with vintage lace and tied off with twine.....kinda prim..


Heart in Hand- Olde Glory

Lastly, I made a pinpillow from Olde Glory... Since it came out in 2002, there is no telling how many of these I have stitched and framed to give as gifts...I just love the colors and simplicity of the design...

Soon, I hope to have all my finishes done so I can redecorate my tree in the craft room to enjoy all summer long..... Hip, Hip, Horray for the Red, white and blue~~~

Enjoy this Memorial Day weekend by hugging a Veteran!! Always, Faye

Whoooo hoooooo! I am just tickled to death that I will be getting something made by you my friend. :o) Thank you so much for offering the extra giveaways. I am really loving all your patriotic finishes and you have put me in the mood to stitch something patriotic. I should finish my June sampler tonight so the the next thing put to needle WILL be red, white, and blue. LOL

Oh yeah! I am so excited to have won a pincushion specially made by your very own self! Thanks so much, Faye! I know I'll treasure it and can't wait to add it to my little collection! I will email you shortly.

Your other patriotic finishes look awesome - I especially love the pin pillow ~ Long May She Wave but I also love the stockings and really like your patriotic changes! Well done!

Thanks again, I'm so tickled!

I love the blue jean pillow! What a great idea Faye! I'm gonna steal that idea! I just love those BBD stockings too! Hopefully now that Jacob's graduated, I'll be able to blog more and get back to really stitching!

Congrats to the winners! Your work is beautiful Faye. I have a couple of the BBD stockings charts. I didn't have interest in stitching them until the Halloween book came out. I have to admit thought that now I want the whole series. I really enjoy your blog. Happy Memorial Day!
