Greetings stitching friends! I have a few finishes to share with you today.
"Cross Stitcher at Work" - The Primitive Hare
36ct Lakeside linens Color???
I had found a flat shadow frame (wood) at Micheal's for $1.29. Painted it white then dark grey. Used a Civil War reproduction fabric for the background and mounted the stitched piece on top. I really love this design. I was soo surprised to see other stitchers outstanding finishes on Facebook - The Primitive Hare Stitching Group.
Finished BBD Her Sampler 1796 - YEA!!! I mis-read the instructions and of the gold alphabet row did cross stitches and then the 4 sided stitch around them. Would of been nice to only have done the 4 sided stitch but I love this sampler anyways:) I pushed finishing this sampler because I have some other projects I want to get to.
By the Bay Needleart Mystery SAL - Finished part 3. I added DMC 157 blue around the word welcome. The letters are in dark green and a lighter green sounds them. Well in good lighting you can well. But when I held it up to my walls I could not read the letters. SO I added the blue and now no matter the lighting I will be able to read easily. Part 4 should come out today!
Newest start Begger's 4th.
In the mean time I want to get some patriotic stitching done. Will share with you soon.
OH and I am collecting my supplies for stitching Elizabeth - A Sampler Pincushion Doll Maiden from SAN - Summer 2014 magazine. Shes on the cover. and yes I ordered the porcelain half doll from Brier Rose.
Hope you are well and enjoying some warm weather.
Always with my Appreciation and Love for you - Annette

Great stitching!! I love the way you modified the frame. It really looks good. I am trying to resist but I think I will have to buy the Beggar's 4th chart.
Begger's 4th is on my list too!
Lovely finishes, Annette! I've seen so many people working on the BBD sampler - I love it! Love what you did with the flags. I'm sure Beggar's 4th is somewhere in my future. :) Looking forward to seeing your doll!
Congrats on all the great finishes Annette. I love what you did to the flags.

SAL City, huh? I love the Prim Stitchers Group and "All About Smalls" on FB. Have you checked them out?
Your work is so beautiful and you stitch so fast!
The pincushion doll is fantastic. Have fun with it!
Beautiful work as always! I love what you did with the frame, the finish piece looks perfect :)
Great finish on the Cross-Stitcher piece, and your SAL's turned out so nice.
Love Beggar's 4th, that will be so pretty when done.
Great idea with the flags, and beautiful Porcelain doll project.

Annette!! Your Cross stitcher at work is amazing!I love how you finished it in the frame...so unique! You finished the BBD SAL!! Wow! You are fast with your fingers my friend! I'm still stuck on the eyelets...taking an age...any tricks to making it go faster?! Anyways, very beautiful finish. I really like the colours you used. Lovely progress with the By the Bay SAL. Can't wait to see what's next. Begger's 4th I've been seeing a lot of on instagram and it looks great! Hugs to you!!
Your finishes are gorgeous, congratulations
I'm still waiting for my SANQ to cross the Atlantic but that doll is lovely, enjoy :)
Really gorgeous finishes, Annette! I just bought Beggar's 4th, too--so cute! I'm not sure if I'll get to it this year, but perhaps watching your progress will inspire me :)
You have two lovely finishes, Annette. I love the Stitcher st Work in its frame, and it was a creative idea to first put the fabric into the frame and then add the stitched piece on top of it. I have to keep this in mind for the case when the stitched piece doesn't have a wide enough edge for framing. A great solution.
Very nice BBD finish as well.
I have seen the last installment of the By the Bay mystery, it is looking gorgeous. And you made a pretty start on your patriotic piece.
Oh my, how great that you will be stitching the SANC front piece. Can't wait to see your your start on it.
Gorgeous finishes! I love the colors in the BBD piece. Sigh...I really need to do some stitching.
Love your bbd her sampler!
It's colorfull! Love all yours projects!
Naty
Gorgeous stitching. I absolutely adore that design. Love the doll on the cover of the magazine. I can't wait to see you stitch that up. xx
lovely cross stitch........had great trouble reading the word verification......maybe you should consider removing it........see a post of mine a couple back about it.......
Thank you Chookyclue! I am testing this now to see if I correctly made the changes.
Congratulations on your finishes! The BBD Sampler is pretty. What a great framing idea by using fabric instead of a mat! Perfect timing for your patriotic stitching now!
