Once upon a time....

there were many buttons. Yes, there was enough

green & brown buttons to stitch together

to form a biscornu. I hope that you like the

simpleness of it. It's really pretty. Maybe someone will stitch

one in pink - that would be lovely also. The brown

side stitches up really fast. The pattern will

be posted soon. Along with the pattern

I will include the colors used along

with the size. Enjoy stitching

"Buttons Everywhere".

Thank you for visiting me!

When I dragged

stuff out of my attic a while back - I came across

cross stitch patterns & books that were at least

13 years old. Back then both of my daughters

cross-stitched while we lived in Oklahoma. I only

made a few items & most of them were small except

for the sewing machine pieces. I love those items

that include sewing machines in them.

The pattern that I am showing you

today was in that box. I remembered

doing this but I gave it away - but not before I took a

photo of my work - which I will post when I finish

stitching this - just to compare my work then to now.

This is so cute! I started it about 2 weeks ago. I hope

to finish it in about 2 more weeks. This pattern is RARE.

It is called "A friend is a Treasure".

I hope you like it.

Let It Bee

I started "Let It Bee" by Dimensions a few months back.

Whew! I sure am glad

that its finally finished. It is a full time job just

trying to cross stitch all the things that

you want to do. I dont know yet what I am going to do

with it. Since I cannot mqake french knots look decent,

I thought that it would be best to leave them out. Maybe later

I will sew some beads on it.

I think the needle minder that I made looks

appropriate for this Bee project.

Thanks for visiting me.

To a stitcher in our group.

Kathy had knee surgery this past thursday. So, on wednesday

I gave her this. Its ok if she reframes it because I didnt do too good

of a job. I had to have something in a hurry.

But enjoy it Kathy.
