 Stitched on 25ct Mushroom Lugana, 1 over 1. Finally...the finished project! "Rose Cottage Sampler Pinkeep" from Stacy Nash Primitives. This one took me longer than I thought it would simply because of the small fabric count and stitching it 1 over 1. But, it's completed and I finished it into the pinkeep it was intended to be. My initial inclination was to frame it with the background fabric, but Stacy was right...it was calling out to be a pinkeep! The background fabric is from Moda Fabrics Nancy's Needles. The red with the blue floral motif matched perfectly with the colors in the sampler pattern. I'm so happy with the final outcome!  Through the Storms from Silver Creek Samplers. Stitched on 25 count stormy weather lugana, 1 over 1. Framed in a Mill Hill Frame. I don't always feel pulled to stitch "cutesy designs" but this is a pattern I couldn't resist. "Through the Storms" by Silver Creek Samplers was the perfect pattern to commemorate 33 years with my husband. We've had many "storms" hit us throughout those years but the harder they hit...the more we stand united and weather our way through!
Next project started..."Brother's Keeper" from Plum Street Samplers, showing a unique perspective on the Bible story of Cain and Abel.

"Seeds of Freedom" from Silver Creek Samplers is ready for the framers! I finished this one a couple of months back. I was inspired to stitch this pattern to commemorate all the ancestors on my husband's side of his family that have fought both in the Revolutionary War (at least 40+ of his direct ancestors) and the Civil War. I felt this was a pattern that would honor their service. When it arrives home from the framers, my intention is to write the names of the family members who fought this war on a piece of parchment paper and attach it on the backside for reference to future generations.  Seeds of Freedom by Silver Creek Samplers "Amazing Grace" of the 12-month series "Sunday Stitches" from Heartstring Samplery. This is the first one in the collection and was released for the month of January. I'm so excited about this new series and anxious to stitch them all. Old Hymns truly represent one of my favorite childhood memories. My mother and grandmother sang all the old hymns (off-key) as they cooked in the kitchen or in the car as they drove around town doing errands. When hymns from God's Word are what come from your spirit as you're going about your day...you know it is God's Spirit that sits on your heart and captures your thoughts first and foremost. What an amazing legacy my family has left! This series will be stitched in their honor!  Stitched on 18 count floba. 2 threads over 1.
