USA Celebrate the 4th

This is a much better picture of my piece.  I wanted to stitch something for USA's Fourth of July celebration.  I found in my freebie collection this chart by La-D-Da. No date was on it.  As in the previous post the information is the same.  Tan 14 ct fabric and GAST threads.  I revised the chart for my use.  I changed:  The date, 'Flag City' to 'God Bless' and 'USA' to 'the USA.  I also added my initials to the bottom border.  I loved doing this.  I particularly enjoy stitching pieces that fit with the current season and/or holiday.

I hope you all are staying safe and cool.

Blueladie Designs Newsletter & an Apology & a stitchy Pic

Hi all.  The Blueladie Designs Newsletter just went out.  Unfortunately, there was some sort of a glitch.  I am told that you either received it twice or not at all.  I am so sorry for this and hope you will forgive.  Of course please notify me if you didn't receive it and I will send one out to you as soon as I can.  :)

On the stitching front, I wanted to stitch something patriotic for July and I found this freebie by La-D-Da entitled "Flag City".  I adjusted the wording and the threads (I used GAST that I had on hand).  It turned out nicer than the picture.

Flag City USA by La-D-Da (freebie adjusted by me)

14 ct tan fabric (although it doesn't look like it in this picture)

GAST threads (oatmeal, gold leaf, midnight, mulberry & onyx)

Father's Day Finish

This is the card that I stitched for my dad.  Mailed it out this morning.  He's a sweet bear that matches the one I did for my step-mom.  Thanks for looking.  :)  (Sorry it's from a UK mag PIF so I have no info on chart, fabby or threads.)

Stitching Update

I Just had to have this "Four Corners" by Little House Needleworks (c) 2012 This is part 1 "The Weathervane". I'm stitching it on 18 ct Mocha with the Crescent Colors thread included with the thread pack. I love it!!! It looks so much prettier than the picture. Thank you Diane for this wonderful design. I am so looking forward to stitching part 2 & 3. :D

Also finished is the 4th motif from "Crabby All Year" by Raise The Roof (c) 2007. Teal blue 18 ct fabric and DMC threads.

Poor SAL Surprise from Il blog di Sara (c) 2012 is taking a back burner, but I intend to finish it because I like it. 18 ct white fabric with DMC threads.

I've also gone back to the SAL from Les grilles de Maryse (c) 2011. 18 ct white fabric with DMC threads. I particularly enjoy this one too.

I am working on "Rose Plantation" from Little House Needleworks (c) 2009. I am, however, doing some color changes and chart changes because I'm changing it to Linden Plantation Est 1827 for my DH's family home in Mississippi. :) 28ct evenweave white fabric and HDF silk threads.

My other charts you've heard me mention but not pictured here:
1. Lizzie Kate's Christmas Rules: waiting to be stitched up and bell pulls added for completion.
2. Memorial piece for my dear Wolfgang (cat) is still with my rotation pieces, just on the 'back burner' for now.
3. My Big Toe's Serenity is still there but also on the 'back burner'.
4. Carriage House Samplings Christmas at Hawk Run Hollow - the first motif is there. I've put a few more stitches in it, but it's not worth showing just yet.

Sigh... and that is it for me, for now.
Happy Thursday y'all from Kentucky!
