Welcome Spring~***Edited April 3***

....Happy Spring All....
*****BlogPress has major kinks in its latest upgrade.... Find me on FaceBook or perhaps soon, BlogPress will get things resolved and I can post here~~ **sigh, technology...***
*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*

Finally! I ***think*** we going to kick off springtime here in the Carolinas~~ Its warming up some and it's time to show you a few recent creations that will surely remind of sunnier days ahead.... enjoy~~

Easter Parade by With thy Needle & Thread

Untitled
I rouched a wider (5/8") ribbon for the edging.... I love the extra pop of color it gives~


Im pretty sure this customer stitched on a 40 ct linen.... Called for overdyed threads...





Happy Spring by Snowflower Diaries.... A freebie design... I made this one into a thin padded pillow to out in sweet childs Easter Egg basket~~







Easter Parade by With thy Needle & Thread..... I made a large pillow~


A simple cotton lace is sewn on each end of the pillow.... Allowing no distractions from this beautifully stitched design....

On a side note to my cross stitch finishing, I thought I'd share a few framed pieces I have hung in our home..... Just picked up from the framers.....I've started a Scarlet Letter Sampler area in the dining room....

From left to right....And All was for an Appil.....Rebecca Robinson....Margaret Randolph


And in my breakfast nook....over the pie safe...

I knew once I had seen this design, I'd have to stitch it! It's Land of the Free by Willow Hill Samplings.... Look ***here*** to see where I was ........




Well..... Here's hoping your weekend is great! Keep stitching and enjoying the March Madness~~

.......Go Tarheels......

    Beautiful photos! Thank you. Every time I see that Easter Parade, I love it, but then remind myself that I'm not that in to "cute", so I talk myself out of purchasing it . . . . as I age, I feel myself gradually giving in to cute more & more. ha!

    All are lovely. Your framed pieces are beautiful. I am really enjoying March Madness. Not really cheering for anyone in paticular, although I did fill out a bracket.

    Enjoy this warm weather we are having here finally and take care :)

    It's 19 degrees here so it does not feel much like spring. I welcomed viewing your spring finishes! They are so very beautiful.

    Gorgeous samplers!

    I would love to stitch the Willow Tree Sampler - Land that I Love but a quick search at 3:30am doesn't lead me anywhere. Do you know where I might buy it? Did you substitute any colors?
