Spring Birdies, Fa La La, Blackstone Fantasy Garden and Quaker Diamonds

This is one of the patterns I saw at the

retreat I attend every year in Belton.

One of my friends was doing it

the

colors are spectacular and the

thread comes in little balls.

It is

Valdani threads, which I don't

care much for but the three

that it calls for

works very nicely.

It is a big pattern

and I got this much done the first night.

Got lots to go.

It will keep me

busy for a long time.

I got this pattern in Copperas Cove at Nedlewerkes

when I took Knee ~ Hi to be looked at

by the Vet there.

It is called

Blackstone Fantasy Garden

by

Ink Circles.

Tracy designed it, as usual, and used Carries Threads

to stitch it up and it is so gorgeous.

Tracy is a wonderful designer.

When I first saw it I

said to myself that I would never do this piece.

When I saw Lois' at her shop

I fell in love with it and had to have it.

I had to take out the right side and bottom

about 6 times

and I thought I would never get it

correct.

That @#*& FROG!!!

I finally decided I would tackle it from

a different angle and it matched up.

Whew!!!

What a relief to finally get it done

correctly!

I got this finished last night.

I put in Fa La La and just have

to add one bead to the lamp.

Now I only have four more to go and one

of those is the Pear one.

UGH!!!

It's Ugly ~ need I say more?

I got this cute pattern in a magazine

at the retreat I go to every year in Belton Tx.

We have a trash and treasure table

and this magazine had my

name on it.

Aren't they the cutest?

They are hatching out of

their eggs and I love

the look on their little faces.

I got all of the eggs done tonight.

It takes Six Strand Sweets and

have I had a time tracking those

non colors down.

I finally found a place that

carries most of the colors.

What I couldn't find I am

using GAST and WDW and

Crescent Colors to fill

in the gap!

It will be

close enough on a galloping horse.

Thank you so very much for stopping by and leaving a comment or two.

Let's not be greedy!

God Bless your stitching fingers.
