I have had the most fun stitching these past weeks~ recharging and stitching go hand in hand! I'd like to say I've finished all my stitched pieces, I'd rather be sewing up YOUR finishes, so mine will be have to ready come next summer.... Here's a few I'll creatively bringing to life~
Ladies Prim Society~ designed by Blackbird designs & offered by
Dyeing to Stitch, Virginia Beach VA
This little guy holds the most perfect flag~
I personalized my piece by omitting a few flower pots, stitching Abigail Adams name over one so I could include a tiny patriotic banner of satin stitches~
...more personalization.... Another banner along with that all important date...
Sweet Land by NeedleWork Press~~ a collaboration piece between NWP and artist Nancy Mills~ I stitched mine using Belle Soie silks instead of the called for Tudor silks~~ This stitch is stunning in person!
La~D~Da My Country.... Don't you just her designs?? I do!! This one uses called for NPI's.....
Grand Old Flag by Heart in Hand~~ I've stitched this one many times and stitched it again~ the overdyes show beautifully.....
Glory Bee Freebie..... Another classic and quick stitch.... Mine hasn't had its coffee bath yet~~ Heres the link to Glory Bee for this chart ***Here***
In Full Glory by Blackbird Designs.....
I love about any design with a red house and a American flag~
Souvenirs of Summer... A book of cross stitch designs by Blackbird Designs~
This is an older book LOADED with Patriotic stitches!
One last design I'd like to show is Pomegranate Sewing Tray by Stacy Nash.. I will be studying this beautiful trays unique finish.... Once mastered on a practice piece, I'll finish this design into that beautiful tray that Tracy displays...
This will be the bottom of the tray~
Another angle shows you those beautiful overdyed threads...
