~ More Love and Reds ~

Hi there! If I may, a couple more pieces for this Season of Love.

A tiny freebie from somewhere. I really try to make extra effort to catalog resources, this one slipped by me, and my pic not very good, apologies. DMC 3830 on Zweigart Cork Linen, platinum, 18 ct. Not sure how I missed this lovely DMC floss all these years, sort of Scandanavian red, color is quite nice don't you think?

Tiny heart from Savoir-Faire Vailly, just felt like playing with tone on tone effects of overdyed floss.

Sampler I finished in 2003, chart is 1990 Leisure Arts #954 "Old Samplers", stitch count 136 x 85, unk red cotton floss on aida, my initials at top of garland.

Small Sampler by Cross 'N Patch The Crowning Grace 1989, colors as charted, Fiddlers Cloth.

Thanks ever so much for looking!

Tootles, Sue

~Happy Valentines To You and Yours~

Hi there! Here's a couple pics to celebrate the Season of Love. These lovely 'lil hearts are designed by Savoir-Faire Vailly, with a small stitch count of 37 x 39, DMC 3830 on Fiddlers Cloth 18 ct. front and back, a fun/quick stitch. And yes, if you were wondering, I was just a wee bit weary of the same design after all 8 of them. These have customized stitching on the back and were given as wedding favors, the perfect gift~don't you think! HI PATTI~YOU STITCHY LITTLE SHE-DEVIL!

I made these oh so cute floss cards, very easy and a fun project for a quiet rainy day. Materials were what I had on hand: color printer, glue stick, scrap booking paper and very thin cardboard (manilla folder). As the glue dries it does stiffen quite a bit, be mindful to avoid rigid cardboard, keep it flexible.

The templates and easy tutorial are *complimentary* from Echevette's beautiful blog tutorial here. Merci Echevette, vous sont tellement très aimables!

The cookies, DH said they were great but just saw the pic and has declared, well~they don't look like cookies at all~LOL! But, you get the idea, it's all about the Love of a Valentine.

Tootles, Sue
