This picture gives you a nice view of my personalization's -- substituted giant Smyrna cross for eyelet stitch, removed number band and stitched honeysuckle, eliminated diamond motif and added a chicken, and placed a crown near the date as every stitcher deserves a crown or two, dontcha know?
I stitched this on 28ct linen R & R Old Parchment, and the flosses I used were Crescent Colors - Honeycomb, Jakey Brown, and Tennessee Red Clay; Weeks Colors - Honeysuckle; Gentle Arts - Dried Thyme,Mountain Mist and Mustard Seed, I need to get this off to Bev at Joanns to be framed. I found a coupon for 60% off -- should be very helpful.
Hope you are enjoying a nice Sunday afternoon.
Happy stitching!

Very nice! I'm going to have to give Bev a try myself soon.
ReplyDeleteSo beautiful! I love how you personalize your stitchery and make it your own!
ReplyDeleteOh the little chicken on the bottom left is darling - a perfect way of personalizing the pattern! Well done!
ReplyDeleteOh Carol, your sampler from the SAL is darling!!! I am not nearly as far along. I'm afraid it will take me quite a bit longer! Excellent - thanks for the inspiration. I will definitely be doing the Smyrna stitch rather than the eyelet.
