La D Da Letters and Leaves

La D Da

Letters and Leaves (Freebie)

It is always so exciting when the telephone rings and it Betty, the finisher calling to say she has finishing ready for pick-up.

Isn't it pretty the way she attached the tape?  I am very fortunate to have such a wonderful finisher.  I tell her all the time "you make my work look good."

AppleJack is on his way home from the sewing machine repair shop and the post office.  I hope to have more goodies to share tomorrow.  (Yes, I am also fortunate to have a good help mate).

Overdyed Stash Linen

Gentle Arts Black Crow and Forest Glade

This was a fun easy stitch!  Simple and restful.  Reminded me why I find stitching to be so enjoyable.  Off to the finisher for her to work her magic.

Next on the stitching agenda is Two Pinkeeps by The Goode Huswife.  I love golden oldies!

Waiting

While I am waiting for the 30 ct hand dyed linen to arrive for the Pineberry Lane Lydia sampler, I will be stitching smalls.  Letters and Leaves is a freebie design by La D Da, the design has been around for several years and I am just now getting around to stitching it.

I am using some 28 ct stash green/gray linen which I over dyed with my home made walnut concoction.  I am using Gentle Arts threads Black Crow and Forest Glade.  The Black Crow looks more blue than black to me.

Found some great backing fabric in my quilting sash box and I feel pretty confident I will be able to find some trim in my trim stash box.

It's a simple easy stitch, great for watching The Closer reruns.
