....So many of you, like myself, love the beautiful designs by With thy Needle & Thread... Brenda Gervais has a way of capturing softness and simplicity in cross stitch.... I enjoy taking those designs and creating a complimentary finish that keeps in the theme.... Here are three pieces that I finished for you using antique laces, hand dyed velvets, old buttons & simple handeworke~ Enjoy!
....found in the Be my Valentine booklet....
... Using the specified linen and threads....
... embellished with my hand stitching....
....Springtime Messenger.....
....I like being able to see the linen behind the lace...
.. I'm always searching for the perfect hand crochet cotton laces...
....found in the Mary Valentine book....
....Soft colors with a sweet button.....
....delicate x's trace the seam.....
I hope you're enjoying your lazy summer days......
