Holiday finishes...and a giveaway!

Greetings all!~ I hope everyone is doing well. My, we are having some wacky tempertures here in the Ozark Mountains! Cold at night with temps in the 30's and 40's, and warm during the day with temps in the 70's. I fear I am going to catch a cold from this! I feeling better than I was the other day though.
To answer a question from the other day about the quilting. The Turkey is a banner that will go on the wall. I still need to hang it as I still have not gotten a dowl rod for it.
The last couple of days I have been finishing up some projects and can now get them framed this weekend. First up is Gobble from Bent Creek. I have stitched it using the recommended threads and I stitched it on 32 ct. Country French Latte' linen. I think it turned out nice.








Next up is Long Winter , also Bent Creek. I used the recommends threads on this as well. It is stitched on 32 ct. Lambswool linen. I wanted to use the called for Mount Vernon Mist but couldn't find it anywhere. The lambswool isn't too bad though.









Well , so on to the giveaway. That will be the chart for Gobble. If you are interested in a chance to win the chart, just leave a comment on this post only. I will draw a name .... let's say ... on Wednesday. That should give everyone a chance to enter that wants to.

I have tons to do today so I gotta get crackin'! Hope you all have a great weekend! Thanks for the visit and come again real soon!

'til next time,

don't be a stranger,

Sharlotte

  5. Hi Sharlotte, thank you for praying for me! Your stitching is beautiful and I adore both patterns.

    I have to put my name in for this chart, I love Bent Creek patterns. I bought my first Lizzie Kate pattern on Halloween weekend at the LNS in our previous neighborhood. I can't wait to go back and see if they have Bent Creek charts as well! I have a large cross stitch wish list. lol. Thank you for being so generous to one of your readers!

  7. Sharlotte I love this Gobble project and your stitching is just beautiful! You are so talented! I see that you also quilt as well as cross stitch and do punch needle! You are such an inspiration to me and yes I love the punchneedle and after what you told me about having Country Layers, I can see that is is a must have for me when I can get it too.
