A bit of information about what is going on with my blogs.
Love to Stitch was my very first blog. It was made private until today. I have reopened it after removing some of my private stuff from it, so that the information becomes available to you again.
When I made this blog private, I was rather exhausted and the last thing I wanted back then was to continue blogging. Many Love to Stitch 99http://www.blogger.com/profile/08717611751588945815noreply@blogger.com5tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-36194728.post-10325836032047141732010-03-05T10:09:00.009-06:002011-04-22T11:40:53.380-05:00Twilight angel, framed: Gay Ann Rogers, designer
This was a gift to my friend Terry who lives in England. I mailed it to her with frame and she had it framed herself. This way it limits the risk of receiving it damaged.Love to Stitch 99http://www.blogger.com/profile/08717611751588945815noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-36194728.post-13527788428114027922010-02-04T15:09:00.002-06:002011-04-22T11:42:01.186-05:00Loretta Spears: Christmas Heirlooms called Threads, finished as ornament

Terry, I have changed the colors as was not crazy about the yellow and ended up doing additional changes as well. What do you think?

Perin Starting with the beginning of 2010, Terry and I will be stiching this lovely project together. I have just placed my order with my little shop and as soon as I receive the supplies I will be able to start on this. We will follow this project with Pacific Coast Collage, but will only order the supplies a bit later when I am about half way through this current project.

I still need to work on putting fabric on the stand piece and then attach all together with a little ribbon to control the amount of length the stand will open up while standing andLove to Stitch 99http://www.blogger.com/profile/08717611751588945815noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-36194728.post-73568095143389164222009-09-28T13:54:00.001-05:002009-09-28T13:56:12.440-05:00Desire: All done and ready for hangingHere is Desire all ready for framing :-) I really love it.Love to Stitch 99http://www.blogger.com/profile/08717611751588945815noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-36194728.post-62758238404168395582009-09-28T10:36:00.004-05:002009-09-28T10:44:29.811-05:00Desire: Finishing processThis is the beginning of my finishing process.

The frame is exactly the same color as the border and by using the whitest white possible, it really make the whole design stand out..Don't look at the wallpaper behind it. I know it does not fit but this is the best place I know of in my home where I get the best lighting but I need to take the photograph a bit sideway so that I don't get all the glare on the glass.
