Hello All. Thank you to all those that have been to visit the blog recently and an especially huge thanks to those who took the time to leave a comment - I just love to hear from you! Here are some photos of the gift that I stitched for Carol for Christmas......
My stitching is part of a larger design by Renato Parolin and you can see the pattern here. I ordered my pattern from Casa Cenina and they provided excellent service.
I rushed out to Sainsburys the week before Christmas and you can imagine my delight when I saw the frame just sitting on the shelf. It went perfectly with the design and I didn't need a small mortgage in order to buy it! :-)
I stitched it using recommended DMC thread and some pale blue 32ct linen from the stash.
Thanks for visiting, hope to see you again soon,
Jackie x

I've been so looking forward to seeing this Jackie and it's lovely! The frame is great - well done on finding one that didn't cost a small fortune!!! That doesn't happen too often.
Love your new blog look. The gift for Carol is so pretty, you two are too good to each other :-). Tell Carol I said 'Hi'!
A gorgeous design. Congratulations on the finish.
Oh Jackie, what a lovely gift you made. I love Renato Paroilin's designs and I have a couple of them in my stash. Time to stitch one of them, it seems.
Hi, I was trying to reach you about your lab collie, sorry I couldn't see your email address. I would love to get a photo of her up on labcollie.com
