Hearts for Tuesday :)

I stitched and finished this CUTIE today :) This design is another one I enjoy stitching and have stitched it several times for exchanges :) I finished it off into an adorable pin pillow. I LOVE the finishing fabric. I think I need to go back and purchase more of it before they take it off the shelf :)




Design: Forever True (SAMPLER)
Designer: Bent Creek
Fabric: Linen remnant
Fibers: DMC 115
Start Date: 1-26-2010
Finish Date: 1-26-2010

There are two other cute designs in this leaflet I am thinking about stitching over the next few days:)

And because several people have asked...here is my Valentines table :) V-day is one of the holidays I have the least decorations for-but I still put out what I have as I like to change this table to reflect the holidays and/or seasons :)


Thank you my friends/readers for stopping by for a visit :) I truly appreciate your SWEET comments/emails and your friendships and the new friendships I have made recently :)
Please do come again :)
hugs and love from SC :)

Love that little pillow! What a nice idea to have a special table to change out for the holidays. I may have to look at my home and see where I could do something similar. Thanks for the great ideas! You are really an inspiration for all stitchers.

Lovely pin pillow!

Myra said...

All those Valentine pretties make me swoon Becky! I love the finishing fabric on your pillow too. (I see my little cube sitting happily beside all those gorgeous things. :o) Makes a momma proud!)

I have an old Janome sewing machine in a cabinet that I use as a table for "seasonal" decorating. I change it every month. Makes it fun, doesn't it?

Carol R said...

Pretty pillow - you must have had a smokin' needle today Becky!

Deb said...

A great finish! And I can see why you want more of that fabric - it's really nice.

DonnaTN said...

WOW! I love the finish on this one! The backing fabric is gorgeous!

Berit said...

What fun! As for a "Smallish" Valentines' Day table, well...quality before quantity! You go all out for Christmas, so you need a break after. ;) I think taking it easy for Valentine's is just the thing.

Sandy In Montana said...

What an adorable finish, Becky. I love the seasonal table idea, I've also seen seasonal shelves that are quite cute. Idea's, idea's, idea's.
Happy Stitching ... Sandy

I really need to take some finishing lessons from you. You find the most wonderful fabrics and the most unique way of putting them together.

That is really cute. .and an unusual fabric for Valentine's day. I do the same thing sometimes.. fall in love with the finishing fabby more than the stitching and have to go back to the store for more!

Your display table looks just perfect!

staci said...

Such a cute pin pillow Becky! That fabric is really cute. You've been on quite a roll!!!

Your Valentine table looks love-ly!!!

Valerie said...

The pin pillow is darling! The black in the fabric really sets off the reds. I love the Valentine's table. I too don't have many Valentine-y things but your table has me going to my stash and seeing what I can find to get in the spirit!

Shelleen said...

Redwitch said...

I've been catching up with you and can see that you've done lots of lovely stitching recently :)

I am *so* tempted by Q&Q I can tell you!

Sending good thoughts for your Mom's continuing progress and for your own health problems too :)

Very pretty pin pillow, Becky. I love your Valentine's Display. If I would get busy and stitch, I could have a nice display for Valentines someday, lol!

I am so new to the world of finishing smalls! I love this. What a sweet gift it will be! I actually went to your sidebar and looked up all your pin pillows just to see what they were! :-)

Donna said...

Oh Becky, I luv your DMC 115 finishes. I have looked for it here at 2 different stores with no luck. The only thing I could find is 4210? It doesn't look as pretty. I'll find some soon. Great finishes, as always :)
