Quilt Square

Not nearly as wonky as it looks in this picture. A quick stitch for sure. First stitching since my hockey square last summer.

Roger's House Charity Quilt

The finished quilt was delivered to me by Monique in early September, just in time for the Roger's House WRR event. I delivered it to Roger's House in person where it was very warmly received. I cannot thank all the stitchers who particpated in this project enough. Your generosity will not be forgotten!

Charity Stitchers Wanted for Hockey Quilt

Roger's House is a palliative care centre for children in Ottawa, Ontario. It was built based on the dream of late NHL hockey coach Roger Neilson and has much of his hockey memorabilia as well as that of the Ottawa Senators hockey team througout the centre. A generous group of stitchers is putting together a cross stitch quilt with hockey themed squares. We're still accepting squares so if you would like to be part of this charity quilt please join us!

Blessings

Title: 12 Blessings of Christmas

Designer: Lizzie*Kate

Details: I finished these up on December 23, 2006. They were stitched on 16 ct aida with DMC floss. For fast and easy finishing I purchased tuck pillows. The tree was already up and decorated and I didn't want to have to shuffle ornaments around, so you're seeing them hanging off my apothecary table! :)

Snowman

Title: Snowman In the Window

Designer: Wichelt

Details: A freebie I stitched up a couple of winters ago. Finally discovered the no-sew cube method of finishing and voila - he was finished up in time to be on display this Christmas.

Love Was Born

Title: Love Was Born

Designer: Lizzie*Kate

Details: A fun little Lizzie Kate ornament from the 1999 Just Cross Stitch ornament magazine. Stitched with GAST.

Peaceful Forest

Title: Peaceful Forest

Designer: Bent Creek

Details: I stitched and had this one framed over 2 years ago (sometime in 2004). Stitched on fiddler's cloth with GAST. I had a spot in my living room all picked out for it... but that spot seemed too large for this piece. So I decided I would stitch Cabin in the Woods by Bent Creek to go with it. Here we are, two years later and Cabin in the Woods is a UFO. I went ahead and hung Peaceful Forest today and bought a framed print to hang with it for now!

Britty Puppy

Title: Britty Puppy

Designer: Brittercup Designs

Details: From the 2006 Just Cross Stitch ornament issue. This darling puppy stitched up in a day on 14ct aida with GAST. My first cube finish, but I doubt it will be my last as they are so quick and fun to make!

Morning Fairy

Title: Morning Fairy

Designer: Dragon Dreams

Details: A Dragon Dreams freebie which I made some changes to. I'm not into fairies so I left off her wings. The original said coffee but I changed it to cocoa. My first finish of 2006 (can you say slump?) and a UFO finish at that! Finished and framed in September 2006; frame by Ikea.

Hafta Stitch

Title: Hafta Stitch

Designer: Calico Crossroads

Details: Quick design to stitch except for those pesky metallics. :) Stitched this one up in late 2005 but just managed to get around to finishing it in February 06.

Snowman Ornament

Title: Snowman Ornament

Designer: Mount Forest Frameworks

Details: A darling kit from Mount Forest Frameworks - the 2004 Snowman Ornament Kit. Although I stitched this in December 2005 I chose to leave in the original date of 2004. Stitched on pink aida. Kit came complete with the cute little snowflake hanger!

Foul Ball

Title: Foul Ball

Designer: Sam Hawkins

Details: A Christmas gift, stitched in November 2005. As always, I hated every minute of the finishing process. I just don't like making ornaments, which is too bad because I love them! Design from from "501 Cross Stitch Designs".

Winter Blues

Title: Winter Blues

Designer: Stitchy Kitty

Details: This is Winter Blues, a freebie from Michelle Lutzen of Stitchy Kitty! I stitched this one on blue fiddler's with DMC floss. Stitched and framed in November 2005. The freebie was originally designed for a Yahoo snowman group that closed. Big thank you to Stitchy Kitty for adding this to her own Yahoo group when I went begging all over the internet for it!

I Want it All

Title: I Want It All

Designer: Dolly Dimples Designs

Details: When I saw this I knew I had to have it... it is just soooo me! I ordered it directly from the Dolly Dimple Designs website and I must say I received the very best customer service I have ever received. Fiona, the designer/owner is a gem to work with! This was so much fun to stitch with all the bright colours. Stitched and framed in October, 2005. (I apologize for the flash spot.)

Love Grows

Title: Love Grows

Designer: Brittercup Designs

Details: This is Love Grows from the June 2005 issue of Just Cross Stitch magazine. Stitched on 14 count smoke aida using the required GAST & WDW.
