Decorating With Needlework

Hi Everyone!

A little while ago I started sharing with you how

I like to decorate with my needlework.  Here

are a few more pictures.

Hope you enjoy!

 This is a wonderful toile tin bread tray in my

living room, filled with needlework smalls.

All of the needlework shown are my designs.

Here is my "Seek Joy~Stitch" stitched on

one of my pre-finished "Pin Pokes".

A few weeks ago Hollis and I were out

antiquing and I found this adorable

"vintage" wire basket.  Wish I had found it 

before Easter.  Oh well, I'll have fun with it next 

year.  Isn't it just the perfect way to display

another pincushion?

I'll be back soon with some updates on

new designs.  Hope you have a wonderful

week filled with 

"Many Happy Stitches".

Decorating With My Needlework

Hi Everyone!

I've posted two pictures in a new group,

PRIMITIVE STITCHERS SOCIETY

over the last few days.  I wanted to

share them with you too.

Do you like to find unique ways to

use your stitching in decorating

your home?

I know I do because I have certainly

run out of walls after 30+years of

designing.

Here are a couple of my ideas.

This is in my Guest Bathroom -

no room gets neglected in this

house.  I know my guests wonder

what in the world is this stuff, but

who cares, they are my little

treasures.  I enjoy looking at them.

And here are my Easter eggs.  Obviously I do like

to put "all of my eggs in one basket".

~~~~~~~~~~~~

If you love "primitive style" stitching, then

this is the Group for you.  You are going

to absolutely flip over all the stitching,

finishing ideas, and just general of love

of this style.  I highly recommend it!!!

~~~~~~~~~~~~

Have a great week.  I'll be in Richmond Monday

and Tuesday with little Avery.  Not much

stitching getting done when I'm there, but

I hope to work on next Needle Case when

he's napping.  Maybe I'll have something to

share when I get home.

"Many Happy Spring Stitches",

DECORATING WITH NEEDLEWORK

Over the years I've been asked many times what I do with all of my needlework.  Obviously I couldn't possibly put everything I have designed in my house.  Much of my wall space is taken up with my collection of antique samplers, so that limits my framed pieces.  I do change out designs for the seasons, and I will share that with you when the time comes.  For now, I'll share with you some photos of some of my pieces in places other than the usual.  I think you'll notice from the pictures that my house is a mix of "traditional" and "country primitive".  My dining room and living room are definitely a mix of the two leaning toward "traditional", but the keeping room (family room), kitchen, breakfast room are all very much "country primitive".  I love both looks and am constantly trying to tie the two together.

Here goes.  I hope you enjoy!

That's it for today.  Let me know if you liked seeing these and I'll do some more.

Hope you are enjoying a day with 

"Many Happy Stitches"
