By Michael Powell. It's a big un! I've been chipping  away at this for a good while - a very enjoyable stitch. I have the second design in this series in my stash and I might actually make a start on it quite soon.

By Mirabilia. Stitched this as a Confirmation present for my cousins daughter. She's a very keen, and good, dancer, so I thought it suited her. Changed it a bit to suit the occasion and my stash.
Finished 17th April 2013


Also made a card to go with the gift:

Christmas sampler

Thursday, January 24, 2013 Posted In Edit This 0 Comments »
My Piece for the 2012 Christmas, and my first finish of 2013.
A design by my beloved friend Colly of Cols Creations. I did a slight change and made the charted crosses in the first band into stars, as I'm not the religious type. I also used the DMC threads I had in my stash instead of the Anchor ones that the chart called for, but I still think it turned out very nice. This pic is pre-wash & iron, but you get the idea.

Finished 16th January 2013.

New UFO piece

Monday, January 14, 2013 Posted In Edit This 0 Comments »
This is Blackwork Chessboard. It's a design by Anne MacGregor from the stitch mag "Cross Stitch Gold". In the original design there's black and gold metallic in all the squares, but I wilm stick to black in the squares and consider adding another metallic colour around them when I'm done. Seems more clean to me.
