Give Away by Lee Albrecht


Look at these beautiful kits from a new too me designer, Lee Albrecht, in Brazil. This is just the best give away I have seen in a long time.
Here is the sign up site. While you are there go look at all her lovely designs. There is a Google Translate on her blog so it is easy to understand her posts.

Lee is a very gifted designer. I am stitching the free design on her blog and have just received the kit for her Beautiful Bag. Hope you enjoy her as much as I do.
Warm Hugs

Biscornu for Gillie

Gillie posted that she has received her biscornu in the Please Pass the Biscornu exchange. I is a hardanger on I designed for her with petite blanket stitch, kloster blocks, Algerian eyelets, woven bars with picots and square filets done in light and dark peach on white.


Gillie was pleased with the biscornu and unfortunately I will be dropping out of the exchange group as I have to slow down on my stitching and do some Physical Therapy for my back.
Please leave a comment. I really like hearing from my readers.
Happy Friday

Mountmellick Lilly progress

I started the blanket stitching on one of the two lilies and soon found it will take longer than the cable stitching used to pad it. Wow I don't feel like I've made much progress. Not to say I'm getting bored this is still exciting that I'm finally making a project instead of just playing around.



Of course I'm still behind but that means I can go look at the real thing to make sure I'm doing it right.

I do have another project I will have to get back to. I took Options in Hardanger last year as a Group Correspondence Course (GCC) with my chapter of the EGA (Embroiders Guild of America).
It's an online chapter "Cyberstitchers" I didn't finish the course or submit the piece but this time I'm going to combine the two pieces and submit them together. So watch for this big, humongous Hardanger piece I'm be pulling out of my UFO some time soon.

Thanks for reading my blog.
Please leave a comment. They mean a lot to me.
