I am loving this one...

It's a joy to stitch on! I know sometimes we find designs and projects we have on the go a chore and we even put them aside sometimes without picking them back up for ages...but I can honestly say the projects I have stitched this year have ALL been so much fun and this one is no exception-it's just SO pretty :) YES, I am using the recommended colors :) This is where I stopped last night. I have not been home long enough today to put any stitches in-BUT I plan to sit down later and stitch, stitch, stitch :) I really hope to finish this one up this week :)
Please excuse the thread -I didn't even realize it when I was taking the photo :)


Design: Feather Your Nest
Designer: Country Stitches
Fabric: 40ct. Maple Sugar (Lakeside Linen)

I got 3 Punch Needle charts from Country Stitches in today's mail-they were a birthday gift and I can't wait to start one of them :)


Thank you all so much for your SWEET visits :) Please do come again :)

Lovely work, and nice punch needles, too!

I do so hate it when a piece you want to love becomes a chore. So glad to hear you're on a roll with loving your stitching!

Becky,

Great progress! i really think the alphabet adds to the piece. The bird looks even lovelier with the letters around him.

I love how your Feather your Nest is looking and coming along

This is just beautiful Becky. I love the addition of the alphabet and your linen choice looks amazing with the colors. My coworkers in the office have ooohed and ahhhed over it. You sure are a stitching machine.
Those punch needle designs are so pretty. I look forward to seeing you work on them.

You have the gift of finding patterns that are so cute and lovely. And the one you are working on now will be just as wonderful. SO what will this become? A wall hanging?, pillow?

Where do you get your punchneedle designs from?

I have tried punchneedle and find it harder than it looks. Maybe I just need more patience...
