Can it possibly be more than a week since I last posted anything? I have things to share, but I can't seem to get photos taken and posts written lately in a timely manner. The light has been awful, too--no sun, so I just brought my latest finish next to the window and hoped for the best!
I stitched this design years and years ago, and decided it was finally time to sew it into something. I couldn't even remember what it was called and had to look at the Bent Creek website to figure it out. It is the "Plum Berry Sampler".
I like the simplicity of Bent Creek designs, but I don't stitch them very often these days. They are great for stitchers who are just starting out, though, which I was at the time I worked on it. I love the little square buttons and the specialty stitches dividing the rows of letters. And the sweet blue bird!
I have not had a chance to pull out my sewing machine in order to sew the last two designs I found in my finished bin (along with that recent Fourth of July pin pillow I made). Maybe I'll have a day off from work soon and can get to it then. However, I have been making a little progress on a few other designs, which I will share soon!
