My Big Toe ~ Grace ~ Building Block Series

Yippppeeeeee! I'm done!
Well, I posted on line last

week and I finished today.

As I posted earlier I stitched

this on R&R 40 ct

Creme Brulee 2/2. I used

the threads suggested:

Gentle Arts: Black Raspberry Jam

and Briar Rose... the only change

I made was to stitch the Rhodes

Diamond in Briar Rose. It comes out to be 6.3" square and fits beautifully in an 8x8 frame.

I've been preusing my patterns

for the next project... or should I say projects...

I have started ABC Fraktur

A little progress being made...

This is my Grace Building Block

by My Big Toe...

making some progress...

finished all the border

and Grace. Now doing the words...

one line own... 7 to go...

More snow...

Well, I sit here in my nice, warm house and look out at the snow. It started last night and I think that it has snowed since... big goose feathers coming down. Don't shoot me... I'm not tired of it yet... weird... I'm usually ready for spring long before now but there is something peaceful about watching it snow here in the mountains...

Anyways... thought I'd share a finished project... one of my first from last year. It's called Blessed Are... designed by Sue Stadler of Crossing Montana and the kit was put out by Kreinik. Done on

32 ct Linen (Flax color) the threads are Kreinik Silk Mori.

Bill's Stocking

This is the stocking made for my Brother in law, Bill. It is Shepherd's Bush Stocking ~ Robert.

It is stitched on 10 ct with DMC #5 Pearl. It stitched up very nicely and quickly... I was surprised how fast it went.

I have a gal that I send it to. She does a lovely job finishing them. I will post a picture when I get it back. I want to finish the stocking for my sister first and send them at the same time.

Happy Valentine's Day

I hope the day was the loveliest!
