I have a new stitch project and sampler. It's been fun to just play around with different stitches and colors. I think these colors are so pretty together like zinnias and summer.
Filling these droplets with some kind of a lazy shortcut stitch I made up, but I like it! Have no idea what that stitch would be called, maybe a cross between satin and couching. Love the dimensional look of it though - even with the pink outline of the design showing. I still might go back to that bird and add more stitches/feathers.
Ah, whatever, it's a lot more fun than taxes.
I love that made up stitch...and the colors. Your creations are always so yummy.

Your pretty petals stitch reminds me of tiny garden trellis's...so sweet! Another totally adorable and makes-me-happy-just-to-look-at-it creation! PS The snowdrops post was just beautiful. xox

Love this one! I just received your LOVE-LY sampler and can't wait to get started on it. This will be my next one for sure. By the way, switched over to Perle Cotton after trying it based on your recommendations. I was getting so frustrated with floss and found myself not wanting to stitch. Perle cotton solved the problem plus I love how it has such a beautiful sheen. Thank you for your continuing inspiration!

Love the bright colors in the sampler, and that sweet bird in the flower center.
