Ornaments

 Good Morning!

These pieces were HOT off the needle this week!

This is a bonus chart from the Ornament Club by Shannon Christine Designs. I chose to stitch this on navy blue aida using DMC threads. There are accent mill hill beads #2013 for rudolph's bright red nose. A quick stitch. Will be made into an ornament, of course.

Next was:

This is chart #7 in CrazyAnnie's 2020 Christmas Ornament Tag series. I chose to stitch this on red 14ct aida using dmc threads. I changed the border to the black/white gingham as I do a black/red/white tree at Christmas time. I have already started to finish this series and will post pictures later.

Just a reminder ~ I'm offering a 20% off discount on my Etsy shop September 4th - 7th, 2020. I've got cross stitch supplies, finished stitched pieces and fully finished pieces in my shop! Stop by and shop! www.etsy.com/shop/LizziesXStitches

Pumpkin Cuties!

 Look what I just put in my Etsy shop (www.etsy.com/shop/LizziesXStitches). 

What a fun but tiring afternoon of putting these together! A pattern I have loved forever from a cross stitch shop I worked in back in the 80’s. 

Made into an ornament but can be used as a tier tray accent as well! Cute, cute, cute!

Have a stitchy kind of night!

Hello!

 Hi!

Greetings from windy So. Florida, so lucky that those two (2) storms ~ Laura and Marco have decided to take another path other than to our state. Prayers to those in their paths.

I've been busy doing some finishing the last few days, so happy with how these turned out. Take a look!

This is Blessed by Priscilla & Chelsea of Stitching with the Housewives (a freebie) and I just LOVE it! Makes a great tier tray accent piece. So pretty with the sunflowers! Stitched on a scrap of 14ct black aida using DMC and GAST threads. Finished using sticky board, buffalo check fabric, and a little dainty piece of lace trim!

Next...

I believe this was a piece by Little House Needleworks (LHN) or maybe Prairie Schooler. Please correct me if I'm wrong. Stitched on a scrap piece of 14ct white aida using DMC threads. Finished on sticky board covered with burgandy fabric and a green ribbon. Cute again as a tier tray accent piece or even nice on a small easel in the living room.

Finally, 

For Keeps by The Trilogy! I LOVE this one! So cute! Stitching on 14ct fiddlers cloth using DMC threads. Finished on sticky board covered with a burgandy/green paisley fabric and accented with a piece of ercu lace. Once again, a nice tier tray accent piece or even a nice stand up piece on a small easel in the bedroom on the nightstand!

ALL three of these finished pieces are available in my ETSY shop:

Good Sunday Morning!

 Good Morning!

I missed last Sunday's post due to bloggers new way of uploading pictures. It took me a week but have figured it out! So here we go!

I'm going to start showing a previous finish with every post and then this week's stitching to give you a little bit more to read and stick around. 

This is Bent Creek's ~ Signs of Winter, Signs of Spring, Signs of Summer and Signs of Autumn. Stitched on 14ct aida using DMC threads. Design size 3"X5".  These are previously stitched and are for sale in my ETSY shop.

This week's stitching was BLESSED by Stitching With the Housewives. Stitched on 14ct white aida and 14ct black aida, using DMC and GAST threads. Will be finished on Wednesday and then released for sale in my etsy shop. 

Have a great week and check back often! Make every stitch count!

Where There Is Life...

 Where There is Life There is Hope by Little House Needleworks and Country Cottage Needleworks. What a cute design and a quick stitch! I changed the colors a little and have shown my color choices. Stitched on creme 14ct aida using DMC and GAST threads.

Another Sunday afternoon!

Another Sunday afternoon!  I just finished stitching and beading HOLLY JOLLY & Tis The Season by Shannon Christine Designs as part of a Christmas Ornament Club I joined!

What beautiful charts, shading that is subtle but makes the design POP!

I stitched both  charts on Charles Craft 14ct Navy Blue, using DMC threads and GAST threads as well. Mill Hill beads were attached as called for in the chart! (a few substitues: instead of Kreinik very fine braid I used DMC 729, instead of B5200 bright white I used GAST Chalk). 

I chose the background fabric and trims but I would like to have them all stitched and then assemble, it's just easier so that all look the same when finished! Can't wait!
