Topic: Cross Stitch
Well, it's been a while since I updated my weblog. It seemed that ever since Zwolle we've been busy. We had a great time at the show in Zwolle and Rijswijk. It is so good to meet customers in person and to be able to share the joy of stitching. So thank you to everybody who came to visit our booth. Below is a picture of the booth in Rijswijk.
We had some visitors while we were there. These are all models from The Workbasket. I am sure you will recognize some of the Quaker animals and the Quaker Santa which I stitched for my parents for Christmas.
In between Zwolle and Rijswijk I stitched on a few projects. I am making very slow progress on And A Forest Grew. Maybe I can post a picture after the Easter weekend. I did finish a free chart from Kit & Bixby. I am so much taken by her sheep that I simply had to stitch this one.
And finally, after being ignored for almost a year, I managed to finish my letter A. My friend Pam has stitched numerous letters this past year and I am so glad that I can finally show her my letter A. It is a gorgeous design, I stitched it on 40 count linen with 100/3 silk from Au ver a Soie.
Right now I am working on the Queen's Regalia from Quieter Moments and on Stop and Stitch the Flowers by Blue Ribbon Designs. I will show pics later on. I have about 25 blocks done of SSTF and have 75 left. It goes pretty quick and I am so pleased with the colors.
The Queen's Regalia is beautiful, I am so impressed by the design, I never knew you could make so many variations on a Queen Stitch. My colors are completely different from the designer's, but they work up really nice. More about that later this week.
