Kathy's Finishes 02/02/08

This is the My friend envelope by Lynne Nicoletti that I finishe earlier this week. The saying around it goes as follows. I wandered lonely as a cloud. That floats on high o'ver vales and hills. Whall all at once I saw . . . My friend. Now I have to make the envelope out of it.

This is the Boy Baby also by Lynne. I have this also to finish into the envelope. I finished this one tonight.

No Place Like Home #4

The fourth and final one is finished! This one is for me - I tried to make it look like my new home. It's stitched with DMC threads on 14ct baby blue aida.

No Place like Home PIF

I was so glad to be able to stitch this design. We just moved into our new home. I changed it a bit to make it my own. Our house has a green door so just had to put that. Brown Roof. Jeremiah's favorite color is green so I used green for the words. I didn't put the chimney cause we don't have one. No border. So mine is definately mine.

Meari's "No Place Like Home" #3

3 down, 1 to go....

Meari's "No Place Like Home" #2

I stitched my second "No Place Like Home" by Pine Mountain Designs on 14ct Parchment aida with DMC threads. Originally, I stitched the windows in white, but they looked a bit bright to me, so I frogged them and stitched them in 677 (a pale yellow). It took about the same amount of time to stitch up as the first one (7.5 hours), but with the frogging it was more like 8 hours.

Meari's "No Place Like Home"

I received "No Place Like Home" by Pine Mountain Designs from Lisa who received the PIF from Angie. Next, it's going to Katie.

I totally changed the colors on it as well as left off some elements. I stitched it on 14ct Parchment aida with Six Strand Sweets floss. It took me 7.25 hours over 2 days to stitch up. I'm going to be making it into a flatfold soon.
