I love sharing the work that I have done, sadly I can only share it with so many of my family and friends before I start to hear "Yeah I seen your last piece" and I see me getting on their nerves. I hope that I can share my love of my finished pieces because I KNOW I love seeing your ladies completed works, and wips! I am so happy to be a part of a cross stitch community!
"We Believe" banner kit! I machine sewed a beautiful backing on but regret that I never bothered to learn how to machine sew before this item! I still hang it each year and love it for what it is! This took about 6 months. I was in nursing school while working on this and this is my first completed big project!
"Celestrial Gatherings" made for my husband 4 years ago not yet framed :(. This project I completed in 4 months while training my parakeet that I would not harm her. LOTS of great emotions I get from looking at this. I see my husband and I when we first moved in together and that fresh young love. I see me forming an unbreakable bond with my bird and I see learning experiances...I had to tear the whole upper corner of the sun apart because of a missed stitch that you could tell! Darn!
.
This next one shows a set of 4 bibs I made for my newest niece. Took a lot longer than they should but they got done and I thought they were FAB! I love to see my pieces used, even when its spit up! My mom hates that I work on something and give it to a niece to get ruined. I see it as getting loved :) I also made the plastic canvas name blocks and diaper cake!
The first stamped cross stitch I did, it really started a love from me for them. So easy, so nice to hold too! Made for my mother whose hobby is karaoke. It is framed but I do not have a photo of it, darn! I am sorry but I do not know the name of the kit/pattern.
I really hope you like looking at some of my finished! I still have a baby blanket, seasonal sampler, and 3 more gifts to share! I need photos off my husbands phone. Thank you for looking, listening and caring!!:loveliness:
Thanks for sharing your heirlooms, CraftyCarly. I love the stories behind the pieces too. So much time and thoughts go into each piece that they warrant a good record ! Look forward to seeing more of you around.
