Farmstead Christmas









     Hello!  It is very snowy here today in Southwest, Pa.  Love it!  I plan on working on a punch needle project and maybe even doing some quilting.  I just wanted to share with you "Farmstead Christmas".  It is a design by Plum Street Samplers.  I made this pin pillow for a Christmas gift exchange for a group I belong to on Facebook, Dixiesamplar's Exchange Group.  Such a fun group!  They have exchanges a few times a year.  This is my second exchange.  I love receiving my Fall one.  I can't wait to get my Christmas one as well.  I stitched this piece onto 40 count Weeks Confederate Gray Linen with hand dyed threads.  I covered up the stuffing hole in back with a little punch needle tree!  I loved stitching this.  I just might have to make one for myself!!  LOL

Have a great day, Jen

Farmhouse Christmas









     Hello!  I hope you all had a nice Thanksgiving!  I just wanted to share with you another cross stitch series I am working on for myself.  Farmhouse Christmas by Little House Needleworks.  I just love how they are turning out.  Very small and fast projects to do.  Easy to read patterns as well.  There are 9 patterns in all.  I have only stitched 4 so far but looking forward to finishing the rest.  I am sure I won't have them done this Christmas, but that is okay.  I will have some to work on through the year. 

     I am also working on having a couple of punch needle/cross stitch pillow sets available within the next couple of days.  I will be listing them in my Etsy shop.  I will post before doing do.   

     I am off to work on that update.  You all have a wonderful Monday!  Jen

Hometown Holiday












   




     I have been enjoying working on a series of pin pillows for myself and thought I would share some pictures.  I am going to make them into little pillows and display them around the house.  There are 17 designs in this series by Little House Needleworks.  I love them all.  I have all the patterns, the most recent one being, "Clockmaker".  They are all adorable.  I started them after Christmas last year, year and as you can see, I haven't gotten very far.  I just start a new one every now and again.  They are very easy and quick patterns and a lot of fun to stitch.  Maybe by next Christmas!  LOL! 

    Happy Thursday!!
