We continue to create cross stitch patterns for the Dog series, and the next one is Fawn Labrador. These are dogs with friendly personalities and a sense of fun. Many people convinced that their Labrador has a sense of humour. Some Labradors are highly playful, and not just as puppies. Of course, temperament, abilities and general personality may vary somewhat from individual to individual, but, all these dogs are social and affectionate, that makes them one of the most loved dog breeds.
All 12 parts of Fantasy Sal by Drene Jones pattern are ready. Only the border left, I believe I can do it! 💪 (it haven’t washed and ironed yet).
Some new Angelfish cross stitched pictures. They are Bellus Angelfish, Banded Angelfish Bandit, and Tiger Angelfish. Huge thanks for our patterns testers!
Have I talked about my New Year’s resolutions here? I don’t remember, but it doesn’t matter because I can say it now: I am going to finished all my cross stich projects I’ve ever started. The first one is Fantasy Sal, my first Sal bu Durene Jones pattern. I’ve completed the last part – Fairy and now I have to finisha border. Two pictures for you – finished part before and after backstitch’s done.
We are really so glad when our customers send us pictures of their stitching by our patterns. We are going to show you their beautiful work all the time and now is the first time – some completed Chaffinsh on Orange Roses. What is interesting, the pattern presents different depends on the material it was stitched on.
My first completed cross stitch this year is a small gift for my first 2021 customer. This lovely card goes to the USA tomorrow with finished cross-stitched picture Winter Mouse and a Tit, which was purchased for the first time I hope all this “first” brings #stitchesandquills to life again! I am going to open a new Etsy shop instead of Stichesandquills next week.
Christmas gift delivered on time, so I can boast about it. My best and most complicated 2020 year stitching – Dimensions Gold Collection Santa’s Journey Stocking, designed by Peggy Abrams. This was my first Dimensions, I bought the kit on https://www.123stitch.com/ , waited a month before it reached me and stitched it in two months. The kit contains presorted thread, metalic thread, wool yarn , 18 count white Aida, felt, beads, needles (one for stitching and one for beading), and instructions with an alphabet. What is it worth buying an original set for? “What makes a Gold Collection design so special? – An extensive colour palette, stitches (and half stitches) that create texture and depth, and exquisite detail are all hallmarks of the Gold Collection. You create a work of art, and heirloom to enjoy for generations to come.”
