It was my lovely friend Michelle's birthday yesterday so I couldn't resist stitching a little something for her. I chose this sweet design by Danybrod and finished it as a little pillow. I added our initials on the back and the year. I am very happy to say that Michelle loves it:)

Birthday gift for Michelle.
Monday evening was my SAL night but Colleen and I were stitching alone as poor Barb was in quarantine with a bad throat:( I do hope you're feeling better Barb {{{{hugs}}}} Anyway I had to stitch the sheepy row ( didn't I???? Lol!) and finished that before moving back to the row I started before. This is not quite complete yet but I did get more done than I expected as it stitched up quite quickly. I think the end is nigh!
I have yet another finish! I think I am on a roll but I did want to get these pieces finished before Chris and I start our Sanctuary SAL. One more to go and I did stitch a teeny bit on that one last night. Anyway my finish is this beauty:)

I absolutely love this! It is so pretty and the verse is lovely. I'm not sure how I'm going to finish it. I'm thinking about going round the charity shops to see if I can find a frame:)
*NOW CLOSED*So onto the giveaway bit. I am passing on this lovely chart as I won it in Christine's giveaway. So if you'd like to stitch up this beauty and are willing to pass it on when you have stitched it please leave a comment on this post only and I'll pick a winner next Wednesday. You don't have to be a follower and I would rather you didn't mention it on your blogs as I'd much rather it was a regular reader who won it :)
Well that's all from me for now. I'm going to catch up on blogs while I eat my lunch then make the girls beds up seen as I've stripped them to wash this morning. It's SAL night on AND with Lisa tonight so looking forward to that.
Take care everyone.
Love and hugs
Sally

I love all your finishes! Wow, you really are on a roll! I bet your friend was thrilled with her present!
ReplyDeleteEverything is so pretty! I love the little pillow! Please put me name in drawing.
ReplyDeleteThe Sanctuary is a UFO of mine, I have finished about 20 % of it. Do you mind if I join your SAL? I'm taking the summer off from school so I'm hoping for more free time.
The pillow is just adorable. Who wouldn't love it. You have been busy stitching up some pretty pieces
ReplyDeleteOh Sally, how cute is that pillow, no surprise your friend loved it, it's adorable.
ReplyDeleteGood progress on all your WIPs and to have the end in sight is always a good feeling, just gives you that extra umph to get it finished.
Dandy Dreams is a lovely stitch and I've seen it on other blogs too, I think it must very popular as it was completely sold out when I went to the Stitch & Craft show earlier in the year. Please add me to your giveaway, I would be very happy to pass it on afterwards.
I hope you're still continuing yor road to recovery, lots of best wishes coming your way xxxxx

Of course Michelle loves her little pillow - it's precious! And it reminds me a bit of Homespun Elegance designs. I love the personalization on back.
ReplyDeleteDandy Dreams is just that - a dream. I've seen this design somewhere, but it's such a unique design. We have our share of dandelions right now. Time to spray!
Emmanuel's Song is just about done, and how lovely it is!
Fun finishes, perfect for the spring that finally seems to be coming. I'd love to win the design, thanks for having a drawing.
