Warm Hearts

I stitched this kit a few years back, had it framed and gave it away as a Christmas gift to my Aunt. I had two kits-I gave the chart away from the first kit and almost gave the extra kit away-but decided to hold onto it and maybe stitch it for an exchange or again for myself. I am so happy I kept it! I started it last night with the temps a little cooler-it felt like the perfect choice :)-HOWEVER they would melt quickly today as it's WARM out :)!!! They are just adorable. I finished them off into a pillow. I used a homespun fabric for finishing and added a gingham ribbon in dark red/black to match the snowman's leggings :) ADORABLE!!




Designer: the Trilogy
Fabric: 32ct. Natural
Fibers: WDW & GAST
Date Started: 10-14-2010
Date Finished: 10-15-2010


For about a year now I have had several friends and a couple of ladies I didn't know at the time asking me to consider selling some of my cross stitch finishes. I mulled it over a time or two and even came close to doing so about 6 months ago but changed my mind. I sat down with hubby last night and discussed it after receiving several email this week from people asking me if certain items were for sale. I am considering putting some things up for sale-if you would be interested in a link to the items when I have them ready, please email me personally and I will let you know where to find them :) My email can be found in the sidebar. It will be a few days before I have items listed-however I can tell you this pillow will be one of the items.

Thank you so much for visiting with me today :) I hope you enjoyed it. Please do come again :)
Wishing you all a lovely weekend!
hugs and love from SC :)

What a beautiful finish! I think it's a great idea for you to sell your beautiful pieces -- but you have to keep some for yourself!

It's getting pretty cool here, so about the right time to declare the pumpkins done! This is such a nice finish for those cute little guys.

I'm sure you could do quite a good business selling your beautiful work if you can bear to part with it!

Becky,

This is so cute! I just love the little one who fell asleep and is using the big guy next to him as a pillow.

The fabric you used for finishing really looks so nice with this design.

I just love the way you finish things and this snowman pillow is no exception. If it wasn't so late at night I would get my machine a hummin'.

Daffycat said...

Goodness, this is adorable!

Rachel said...

Lovely! And perfect for cooler weather. We are having cooler temps in the mornings before it warms up to the 80s, but I'm not complaining. Anything is better than 90-100 degree temps!

Congrats on your finish!

Are you going to have a party when you finish 100 items?
