Meet and Greet

I am a little late to the party but today we are celebrating the first day of Spring with Madame Samm in our Meet and Greet Stitchers  Around the World  . Years ago I did lots of cross stitching and absolutely loved the process , very relaxing and fun to do . Here are two projects I did early on ,
This is my favorite cross stitch project I have ever done , it speaks of many things I love , it hangs in my kitchen on my hutch .
Sorry for the glare on this picture , this one has glass over it and I tried various angles but always that spot. However I like this one too , the quote is so true . These are the only cross stitch projects I have any others I did were given away many years ago .

I also love to embroider and this sewing machine cover was a kit I bought while visiting PEI a few years back , I do love this too :-)
Finally I will share a Christmas wall hanging that I did a few years back from a pattern called Christmas Wishes by Gail Pan I believe , it was a free BOM at that time .
Sorry I was late , the day just crept up on me . Thanks for stopping by today and hope this first day of Spring brings lovely weather and sunshine .
 Hugs Sheila

  5. Bordar em ponto cruz é divertido. Fiz muito pouca coisa deste bordado, esta técnica força muito meus olhos. Seus bordados são bonitos. Traduzi as frases menores e elas são muito bonitas.
    O montão de neve de ontem já acabou? Fiquei aqui desejando coisas boas para vocês.
    Um abraço!

    Embroidery in cross stitch is fun. I did very little of this embroidery, this technique much force my eyes. Their embroidery are beautiful. Translate the smaller sentences and they are very beautiful.
    Yesterday's snow heap is over? Stayed here wishing good things for you.
    Hugs!

  18. Your projects tell me you appreciate beautiful things, and that you love making them. Now I need to learn the trick of turning my weeds into wildflowers, since I have plenty of the former:)
