Autumn Stitcher's Challenge piece ~

~ finished!!


I wanted to keep it very simple & old looking ~

i left it sparse and muted,
then stained it just a *bit* more...


I added the little wool heart as a place to park your needles & pins
and it rolls up to tie with hand dyed silk ribbon ~


backed with the same wool as the little heart ~


I had fun designing & stitching this for the
Samplermakers Autumn Stitcher's Challenge ~

this finished piece will be avialable on
Early Work Mercantile on September 1st,
with a few other finished stitched pieces!!


we're off to the school today (again) for Hannah's senior photo's ~
I can't believe my little girl is growing up so fast~


have a wonderful day!!


Blessings from the Farm...

  2. Oh Lori, It came out so nice. Love the primitiveness of it. I wouldn't be able to part with it. Some EWM buyer will be very lucky to have it in their home.

  9. Beautiful Lori! I just took note of your header picture too. Forgive my ignorance, but is this one of your designs? What is it called? I agree with the previous poster, I would love a copy.
