Clifftop Poppies- new project

By Colleen | July 13, 2010

  I just started a new piece titled “Clifftop Poppies”, by Anchor. It is stitched on 16 count white aida.  This kit will be customized per request of the customer.  I have been asked to stitch this so it will fit into a 10 inch hoop.

Queen of fire- Completed

By Colleen | July 12, 2010

Queen of fire is now complete.  After only 2 weeks, I am proud to present my latest model stitching piece.  I forgot to mention, this piece was stitched on 28 count Jobelan “marbelled rose”.  The metallic thread and beads added a wonderful accent to the piece. a close up of the beads in the hair…

Victorian Stroll-Completed

By Colleen | June 24, 2010

Here’s the completed picture of Victorian Stroll. The picture is not so great. Until the piece is stretched for framing, it gives the look of it being crooked along the edges.  This pattern was easy to follow, which made it fun to stitch. It took 4 weeks to complete this piece. My next commissioned piece…
