A Preview...


I thought I'd show you one of my new Christmas/Winter designs that my sweet Friend and talented stitcher Robin Muddiman has finished up for me...
This one (above) is called
"Dirty Snowmen"
(this is before finishing, staining, etc...)
it was stitched onto 18ct. Linen Aida (really cool!)
and measures 90 x 90 stitches
(5" x 5")
I have two others being stitched by Robin...
they are called
"Primitive Wynter"
and
"Hoe, Hoe, Hoe"

I'll let you see them as soon as they're ready!
I am hoping to release them the first week of October ~
let me know what you think of my Dirty Snowmen...and how should I finish it?
a pillow? framed? a pocket?
send me your suggestions!
back to stitching I go...I have alot more to be finished
before I am ready for this weekend's show!
Happy Stitching, Friends and
Blessed be!
Lori

I love it! Can't wait to see the others. Would there be any way to finish into something resembling a snowball?

Looks like I'll have to get this one when it's available, what a wonderful design...I think I'll stitch mine into a biscornu...5x5--A substantial biscornu :-)

Lori,
I love it ~ can't wait to see the other 2 & for the patterns. I think a small pillow would be great, maybe even a hanging one.

I love the biscornu idea, maybe on 40 count over 1, that will help with the size. Maybe add a needle case and scissor fob, make it a whole winter snowy accessory set.

Nancy said...

I love Dirty Snowmen, and I can't wait to see your other patterns. If this was mine I would either frame it or make it into a pillow with a burlap backing and maybe even a little bit of a burlap ruffle.
