"Believe" Snowman Stitchery

Photobucket


Thinking snow?? This snowman turned out so cute, an adorable little winter design that simply reads "Believe". I have stitched candy canes and some scattered snowflakes. I used a black distressed square frame that the stitchery sits down in. The measurements are 9x9. There is glass and a sawtooth hanger. I did my stitching on coffee dyed osnaburg. This one of a kind will come signed, dated and copyright 2010. A perfect piece for the snowman collector!

Here is another fun "Stitched, Stenciled and Stuffed" hanging pillow that I designed for the Holidays. I did my stitching and stenciling on coffee dyed osnaburg. It's stitched in barn red and reads "Dashing Through The Snow". Children riding a sled was stenciled in barn red. I backed the pillow with red ticking and filled it with polyfil. I attached coffee dyed cheese cloth strips by rusty safety pins for the hanger. A rusty bell and a candy cane hang tag are tied in the one corner. The measurements are 9 1/2" w x 7 1/2" L. It will come signed, dated, and copyright 2010 on the back.

Cost is $23 with free priority shipping

Christmas Blessings Stitchery

Photobucket


Well I am back in the stitching mode again! So many of you have been asking about my stitcherys and samplers so I made up two this week. This one is for a tall Christmas Pine with "1890 Christmas Blessings" at the top. I accented the corners with some evergreen boughs. It was stitched on osnaburg and then coffee dyed for a primitive look. The frame is antique, I love the narrow size. These skinny ones are getting harder and harder to come by. I left the frame untouched, there is glass, and an attached rope for hanging. Measurements are 5'w x 15"l. This piece will come signed, dated, and copyright 2010 on the back. A nice touch to your Holiday decorating.

*SOLD* Thank you Kathy!

~*~October Giveaway~*~

Photobucket


October, a time to celebrate the Harvest, the Beauty and All Things Scary! What better time to have a 'giveaway' and a little fun!

My giveaway is for my Halloween pillow hanger, "Witches~1692~Ball". It's a new design by me that has been "stitched, stenciled and stuffed". Three stenciled dancing witches along with Witches~1692~Ball is stitched on a piece of coffee dyed osnaburg. It is backed with osnaburg also and then was stuffed with polyfil. I attached a cat hang tag with a rusty bell to a coffee dyed cheese cloth hanger. The cheese cloth is attached by rusty safety pins and could be removed if you didn't want to hang it. But I think it would look so cute hanging off a hook, chair or door knob. It measures about 8"wide by 6" long. It is signed and dated 2010 on the back.
I had so much fun making this up that I will no doubt be doing some more 'stitched, stenciled and stuffed' pieces.

Full Moon Fables Needle Punch Book

Photobucket


Photobucket


I love how this needle punch book turned out. I did another one a few weeks ago of a Raven in the Tdipt Mercantile. This old weathered and torn book is really a box. The inside is covered with a purple velvet. My needle punch is of a black cat in front of a full moon with the book titled "Full Moon Fables". I stamped a small black cat on the side of the book. I did my punching on weavers cloth with Valdani threads and finished it off with a black hand sewed cord. I attached the needle punch to the book with black carpet tacks. The book measures 6 1/2" by 10" long. This OOAK will come signed, dated and copyright 2010 on the back. For an added little something I have an old looking bottle inside that I made with a scary label "Sanderson Potions Vampire Fangs". This book can be used with your Halloween displays or could be left out all year long if you like Cats!

*SOLD* Thank you, Julia!

Needle Punch Log Cabin Flat

Photobucket


To me a log cabin always seems like an Autumn thing, nestled in the trees with leaves falling everywhere. I designed and punched this flat piece with a log cabin, 2 fat pumpkins, some leaves and a tall bare tree. I used Valdani threads on weavers cloth for my punching. It is edged with a hand sewed tan cord and then backed with a beautiful scalloped orange wool that was also sewed. A fabric swatch with my name and date is stitched on the back. It measures about 9 1/2" in diameter. This OOAK will look wonderful laying on table mixed in with your Fall goodies.
