More Girls, Two New Charts

These designs are named after my own two girls, Mary and Melissa. They stitch up pretty fast and each one has a unique alphabet included with the chart so that you can stitch the name of your choice. I hope you have fun stitching them as much as I did.

Works in Progress

New charts to come; I so enjoyed designing and stitching the charts of girls, that I've done a couple more. They are fast and fun and I hope you'll like them too!

Unrelenting Life

At times I find that life is just too much. You know? It really is unrelenting and I'd like to take some time off from it. Since that's not an option, I find that expressing myself through art helps tremendously! This girl is in somewhat of a pickle.

Spring 2010, a Free Chart

 

I recently created a new free chart, Spring 2010. It has a limited color palette and simple design, so it will sew up petty fast. There is a lot of room to change the basic design and use your own creativity. You could change the stitch size and use one thread over one thread, use over dyed threads, or bolder, or more muted colors, or a colored fabric. There are so many wonderful and creative stitchers out there, I would love to see what you've done. Just email your finishes and I'll post them here.

Most of all have fun stitching!

Two New Charts

 Strive, that your actions, day by day maybe beautiful prayers.
