The Workbasket Pillowcase by Tracy
My Piece in Cross Country Stitcher's Open Round Robin finally returned to me a few weeks ago. Go here to see the beginning and here to see one of the pieces I stitched for the other members. Go here to see this fabric on another piece and here to see the companion piece to this Workbasket design. When I opened it, it was like meeting a long lost friend again. I had some finishing touches to add to the stitching and then I had to decide how I wanted to finish it. The design is called God's Critters and is stitched on 14 count fiddler's cloth with dmc variations and some other specialty threads. Here are my results:
I decided to make it into this small pillow case. I love the fabric and am pleased with how it turned out.

Blackbird Designs Their Song
My last finish for 2007: Blackbird Designs, Their Song. This one is another piece for my scrapbook. I added labels that spell out Quaker and Cherries since I felt those items were part of the theme; the other labels acknowledge the designer and name of the design and the fabric that I used, 28 count lambswool jobelyn. The terra cotta "wallpaper" background with the ornate designs matched nicely and I added another ornate design in black and gray.
Here is a close up of the complete cross stitch design.

Here is a close up of the lower right hand corner of the stitched design.
I am really enjoying my scrapbooking venture and all of the creativity that I can put into it. So far, I have 3 pages done out of 20 available. I have 2 more older designs that I plan to add soon. It should take me all of 2008 to fill this book up.

Abbey Lane
Hello, I am new to this blog but not to the blogging community. Many of you might know me already as I have been blogging with you for several months now. This piece is from an Abbey Lane design called "A New Beginning" and I have repositioned many of the motifs and left many out. This piece is one of my favorites, I plan on making it into a pillow or pillow case when I am done. I often go by Teejay in the blogging community. Visit my blog here.
