Daisy Sampler Cross Stitch and Simple Blossoms

I made my daisy sampler cross stitch design into a little felt pillow today.  It looked like a little pillow design to me.    

 I finished another embroidery pattern of simple little daisy blossoms in redwork.  I used a bunch of my red quilting fabric scraps to make the front of the pillow and did an envelope style back so I can change the pillow cover now and then.  I was in a red mood today I guess.  Have a great weekend!

Both of the projects you completed are great. I love your designs. In fact I just visited your shop and ordered several of your embroidery patterns. I made a Cottage project you designed that was featured in Crafts and Things I believe and it is one of my favorites.

Touching the Autumn Sky Complete!

Image
I am very excited that I finished my "Touching the Autumn Sky" Mirabilia cross stitch pattern over the weekend. Whew, took a long time. I can't even remember when I started it. I'm looking for just the right frame now. I have completed two of Mirabilia's patterns in my cross stitching career, the other one is "Under the Friendship Tree". I really like her patterns of children. I have started the letter "C" of her letters series, however I am using Weeks Dye Works flosses instead of Crescent Colors. Looking forward to see how that turns out.

Rise and Shine Hand Embroidery Pillow

This week I finished my "Rise and Shine" embroidery pattern that has a very bright theme, some orange butterflies and a few wildflowers.  I'm making a set with "Sweet Dreams" to go with it.    After finishing the pillow i wanted to do the crochet border around the edge.  I found a great pattern for it on the You Go Girl blog.  I've seen it on so many pillowcases lately and it turns out really cute!  First I did a blanket stitch around the edge.   I hemmed the edge of the pillow fabric first and used a large needle with "Comfy" fingering yarn from Knit Picks  in Sea Foam.  It is a little heavier than crochet cotton and I liked the softness of it.    Single crochet in the blanket stitch around.  I made a change here from her directions.  I only put two single crochet stitches in each blanket stitch because it was starting to ruffle a bit and I didn't want that. Five double crochets in a sin...

Illustration Friday - Juggle

Image
I wanted to draw something to correlate with the season and I thought about a lady trying to juggle all of her equipment back so she doesn't have to make another trip, ever feel that way? I felt like using red too, such a strong color and not in my usual palette, so apples came to mind. Have a good weekend. Nice and cool here in Nevada.
