Stitched Up Friday!!

I've seen some great EyeCandy stitches lately and can't wait to show them to you, and hopefully show them again once they've made their way back home from the finisher!

Firstly, the Witch House from my "Pretty Spooky" collection, beautifully stitched by Pamela E.  The stitch choices here are fantastic! 

And speaking of fantastic stitch choices, how about my Argyle Pumpkin (Teal color way) stitched by Mary A? I cannot decide which area I like best, but the argyle area in particular is AMAZING! 

Last but not least is my Fox Star stitched by Amy O.  That stripe background is great, but I am loving the tree stitch especially, it's perfect! 

Foxes & Flowers Finishing!

Sue R. stitched all four of my foxes and aren't they terrific??  Thanks to Stitcher's Garden for posting the photo!

 

Stitch By Stitch showed off their customer's finish of one of my flower-box canvases, with the colors adapted to match their decor.  Lovely!!

Foxy!!

 Loving the extraordinary Turkeywork on my Fox Star by Lee Anne!!  He's so fuzzy and cute!!! 

 

Three Cute Finishes!

Some cute stuff to share today!  First up is my "Joy Cardinal" finished up with a cute berry sprig!  Thanks to Labors of Love Needlepoint Shop for the photo.

TJ always does a great job finishing my Christmas Star series, these were stitched by my friend Courtney M!

This is a custom name tag I painted for my friend Pat, stitched by her for our friend Vicky D.  Pat sent it to TJ for the basic finish, then she added the great beaded strap!

Stitch a Falling Star - Santa Birds is Shipping!

The Santa Birds Star is shipping out this month in the Stitch a Falling Star club!  I love how Cynthia stitched this one, especially the tree!

Here's a recap of the other 4 Stars in the series-- it sure has been fun!!

Christmas in July!

Once again I have been honored to have my designs published in the 2016 Cross-Stitch Christmas Annual, published by Cross-Stitch & Needlework magazine.  This year's edition is titled "Yuletide Traditions" and features three of my designs!

First off is two of my existing needlepoint designs, "Merry Robin" and "Bright Bluebird".  I love the adaptation to cross-stitch on these, and the framing is just gorgeous!

Next up is Christmas Fox, this design is new and exclusive to the book:

Here a look at this year's cover, check your local bookstores and needlework shops, it will be on shelves soon!

The Fast and the Furry-ious??

Stitch a Falling Star may have to go bi-monthly so that we can keep the fast stitchers in the group busy!  I know of about a half dozen that finished their Fox canvas within days of receiving it, plus a handful of others I think are done but I haven't seen the canvas yet. Here are a few who have posted pictures in our FaceBook group, Alice, Emily and Lisa:

Next month is coming up fast and that will mean Owls!!
