Some Finishes!

Good Morning Everyone!

Can you believe it~two posts in one week~

almost a record for me.

It is beautiful here in Virginia. We had

an unbelievable amount of rain yesterday

evening.  Nothing like Texas, but a lot for us.

Lehmer and Paul (my son-in-law) 

 put in a new back yard this week.  

Luckily, they put down a layer of straw so 

I hope it protected the

seed from washing away.  If not, they will

have to do it again.  Should know in about

a week.  Keeping my fingers crossed.

I have some wonderful finishes to share with

you this week.  If you like sunflowers, you

should love these.  

The first one is by Lauralee Spence.  She

bought my Ltd. Ed. "Sunflower Love" kit

at the Prim Stitchers' Retreat about a 

month ago.  She made some fantastic

changes and this is what she had to say~

Here is

"Sunflower Love" 
"Just finished this!  This was a Limited Edition Mini
Kit sold at the Retreat by Homespun Elegance.  I
substituted a piece of wool in my stash for the felt in 
the kit.  The metal candle base was a Good Will
Hunting find.  I spray painted it with my
Oil-Rubbed Bronze then glued the pincushion to
it.  I took two pearl-tipped corsage pins and 
"painted" them with a black Sharpie"

       

Isn't this fantastic!  

If you are interested, this design,"Sunflower Love" 

is now available as pattern only.  Just email

me or go to my ETSY shoppe. 

Here are my versions~

Now for another lovely sunflower related piece.

This is from 

"Crows 'A Plenty".

If you know Homespun Elegance, then you 

probably know Faye, who has worked with

me about twenty years.  She loves cross stitch

as much as all of us do.  I guess she would

have to if she has worked for me that long.

Well, she did this for her sister Ann.  Just a

great idea and so easy.

She stitched a table runner that is just stunning.

 Luckily she was able to find the

pre-finished burlap runner, but it would be

so easy to make yourself~just a piece of

burlap and fringe it.  So neat!

Here is my version~

This design is available in my ETSY Shoppe

as well.

Hope this post added a little sunshine to your

Saturday.

"Many Happy Stitches",
