* Happy New Year- 2018*

1/1/2018

Yes, I am still doing commissioned counted cross stitch work. I have spent the past year focusing on stitching and getting thru my waiting list, but I have not kept the site updated with progress photos
-edit 1/10/18: I just uploaded the photos of the completed projects from 2017. To view these, click on Photo Gallery (left hand side bar)

Thank you to all the customers I had the pleasure of working with in 2017 and hoping everyone has a great 2018 !!

A Celtic Challenge

1/19/2017

This piece is titled " A Celtic Challenge" by The Sweetheart Tree. The piece arrived with the outer border unstitched. I was asked to only stitch this "woven" celtic outer border and the customer will then complete piece by attaching the required beads and Claddagh charm. This was stitched on 32 count white with most of the stitches being stitched over 1 fabric thread.

Paula Vaughan's Golden Needle Collection ( 4 pieces)

1/14/2017

I recently completed 4 beautiful pieces by Paula Vaughan, from the Golden Needle Collection (Leisure Arts). Each piece displayed a quilt in a different setting. These were stitched on 16 count antique white aida. The titles include: Pink Ribbon, May, June Bride and Garden of Eden. (view these in the Photo Gallery)

The customer plans to frame these pieces in a 4 pane window, which I think will look amazing. I also received a wonderful testimonial on these pieces. To read that, click on "customer testimonials" tab on the left side.

Be Safe

I stitched 2 of these pieces. One was done on red fabric, the other on a blue-grey fabric. These were stitched for a mom to give to her sons as a reminder to "be safe". One son is a Marine, the other son a State Trooper.

Waiting list update

PLEASE NOTE: If you have contacted me this past year (2015) regarding my services/waiting list......

I have emailed everyone who contacted me in 2015 asking me to notify you when I am ready to accept quotes again. If you did not receive an email from me, try checking your spam folder, otherwise, please re- submit your quote request ( quote request form along left side of page).

I will answer emails in the order in which I receive them, adding to my new waiting list in that same order.

I can't believe how quickly this year has passed. I have been working to complete projects on my current waiting list and once again, I've gotten behind with posting photos of completed pieces. To view these recent pieces, please click on the photo gallery tab (left hand side).

I've also done some model stitching pieces for a cross stitch magazine, but I cannot post those photos until the magazine issues have been released.

I'd like to thank each of you who have been patiently waiting for me to stitch your project(s). Once I am caught up with the current waiting list, I'll be contacting those of you who've inquired about my stitching services during this year.

Thank you for another great year of stitching. I appreciate your support, encouragement and compliments on my stitching.

At this time I'd like to wish you Happy Holidays from my family to yours.
"see" you in 2016!
