Just wanted to do a quick post to update you on some of the designs that I've been stitching since my last post. Mercy Mercy, a new design from La-D-Da released at this year's Market, just spoke to me.
Mercy Mercy
La-D-Da
30-count R&R Reproductions Foglifter linen
Weeks Dye Works fibers
I love everything about it. The color of the fibers on the fabric, the wording, and those fantastic birds!!! I especially like the peacock!!!
Like so many of you, I've really been attracted to samplers with a "pop" of red. Mary Edmondson 1812 really knocked it out of the ball park for me. It was such a joy to stitch, and like Mercy, Mercy, the colors really stood out.

Pineberry Lane

There's an Easter surprise and another small framed piece to come. Until then, happy stitching!!!!

Oh, such lovely work you do, Linda!! I can see why you enjoyed stitching each of them so much!

ReplyDeleteHi Linda,
ReplyDeleteI am new to your blog and stopped by because of your name..Keeper of the Crows! I once made a very large scarecrow who held a sign that said...Keeper of the Crows, so it struck a cord!!
Your work is just beautiful and I love both of your new samplers so much!! I keep saying I am going to start cross stitching again each time I see some wonderful work like yours and may actually do it this time!!! Thanks for the inspiration!!!
Warm Blessings~~

Judy
