She's such a pretty little angel. I did her over 2 on 30 ct natural linen from my stash using the called for DMC threads. I did, however, change out the gold metallic thread for a silver & gold blended metallic. Sadly, all the glitter doesn't show up in the pic. I also changed her face to over one because I hate 3/4 cross stitches (as was called for in the pattern). From a distance it looks okay -- up close it's a little funny looking.
I also worked on a new piece for Stitched with Love's current exchange called Birds, Bees and Butterflies but since it's a surprise, I can't show you anything yet.
However, now that the Home Sweet Home Exchange is complete, I can show you what I received from Fiona. Her package included a wonderful stitched Scottish heart and loads of other great goodies. Thank you Fiona!
For my part, I stitched a home sweet spooky home for Marjorie (a big fan of Halloween). I'm so happy she likes it. This was such a fun exchange.
Happy stitching everyone! And thanks for visiting.
A lovely finish!
ReplyDeleteGreat exchange gifts too.
Have a good week (:
Your angel is very pretty!
ReplyDeleteSuch a pretty angel, well done. And the spooky house is just wonderful!
ReplyDeleteHi there Marcy,
ReplyDeleteThanks for stopping by my blog dear. I appreciate it very much.
I like the Told in A Garden, Christmas ornament you finished. I made that one too for an exchange last year, and she is adorable.
You have some nice gift exchange both given and received too. I especially like the Halloween piece you stitched and the fabby is gorgeous. I am sure your recipient loved it.
Thanks again for stopping in.
Jackie
