Stitches here and there

Here's a little something I stitched for my sister-in-law's birthday last week. Talk about a quick finish... *grin*... and fun too!

Bluebird's Needles and Pins

from the book: "With Needle and Thread"
Blackbird Designs

I was inspired by a fellow blogger, and though sadly - ashamedly - I can't remember who you are, I thank you for the inspiration! I've started another one already because this design is so much fun! Thanks to Staci I was able to use this beautiful eyelet which I think goes very well with the design... much nicer than a plain one!

And I do believe I have my first case of startitis...

Hallow Game Board
The Primitive Needle

Hallow Game Board is stitched on a 40ct fabric, which is daytime stitching only for me (!), so during the evenings I switch to this fabulous gift from Vonna !!

Wool Needlebook & Fob
Little House Needleworks

And to top the stitching fun off, yesterday I received a GORGEOUS gift from Margaret!!!!

I am THRILLED, the pinkeep is just stunning and it is the very first sign of Christmas in this house, which makes me happy!! And did you see the cute little paper napkins???? Thank you, Margaret!! She said it's her first pinkeep, can you believe it??!!

Have a wonderful weekend everyone!!!

All the pieces are great. I love the BBD and the eyelet. The pinkeep is so pretty. Did she say who the designer is?

That turned out very cute, your SIL will love it. Your two WIP's look great too. I just ordered a couple Hallween patterns and it's going to be hard not to start them as soon as they come in. However, I've got a couple WIP's I'd really like to have finished before year end, so I'm going to try and stay focused at least for the next month (however, you know what they say about good intentions, LOL). What a lovely pinkeep from Margaret too, looks like it's been a good week for you.

You are so very welcome Harmien. I loved making it for you. Becky asks who the designer is. The pattern is from JCS 2006 Christmas Ornaments - 'Winter Joy' by Little By Little Design Co.

Love all your latest stitching - the game board is going to be tooo cute!!
