Welcome

Hi everyone, glad you could visit me.

Well today is my day to show you the wonderful things I have been working on. Thanks to Jane from Jane's Fabrics who is our cheerleader for this Blog Hop. Thanks to Madame Sam, Debbie from Busy as can be and Cyndi from Bee Tree Designs  for the patterns.


 I had fun with this particular blog as I do a lot of cross stitch. I haven't done this type of stitchery before but have seen a few from other blogs and was interested in doing this. Here are some of the pieces I have been working on.


This blog started around Valentine's Day so this was a runner that I wanted to do. This cute little girl went with this pattern so well that I had to fit her in. 


This was the next project that I wanted to do after I received the patterns. I made this one into a wall hanging.



Then this lady who was serving tea was so cute I had to do her also. I made a mug rug out of her.


And I also did the same pattern to make a matching tea towel.


So I was having so much fun with the patterns I also did the lady walking the dog and made her into a purse.



It was a pattern that my friend Marjorie had and we did it one night in our craft night. It is a cute little bag. So I hope you enjoyed all the things that I have put together and now on to a little fun, a GIVE AWAY. Since I love to do cross stitch I decided to give away a cross stitch pattern with the fabric and all the colours you will need to complete the project. The framing of course will be up to you. I hope you will enjoy the Stitch Me Up blog and visit everyone that is participating. So all you  have to do is  leave a comment and I will draw a winner at the end of this blog.


Here is the schedule for today:

    Oh my goodness. You did so many amazing projects!!! My favorites are the table runner, the tea towel and the purse! I do cross stitch myself and am trying to "get up the nerve" to learn to quilt. I found this group a few weeks back and have enjoyed seeing all the creations for the last two hops. It really is inspiring me and I know one day soon I'll break down and take the plunge into quilting. In fact I was thinking that a table runner might be a good first project for me to learn. And seeing how you added that cute little girl is really getting me to think about what I might could do. Thank you so much for sharing your creativity.
