Butterfly Chart for Mother's Day

Next Sunday is Mother's Day, and with that in mind I've designed a little butterfly pattern to use for a card for my Mum (I'm not counting this in my resolution not to start any more kits until I've got my WIP's down - it'll be finished by this time next week!). I'll be stitching it on 16 count light blue aida.

Here's the chart should anyone else like to stitch it:

Little Bunny Chart

Spring is on it's way, so here's a little cross stitch bunny I designed.

 

I hope you like him! Feel free to stitch him,just don't lay any claims to having designed him ;)

Peacock Tapestry

This is one of my many works in progress, and one which I'm spending a bit more time on at the moment: Peacock Tapestry

It's designed by Teresa Wentzler and it's the first TW pattern I've attempted.

I'm stitching it for a friend at work who bought it years ago, stitched a small patch and then gave up on it.

I'm finding it a challenge (I don't blame her for setting it aside!) but it's also very enjoyable. There's a lot of blending and a special instructions so progress is slow going.

Luckily there's no rush to finish it for her.

There's a few freebie designs on the Teresa Wentzler website, including a "Peacock Tapestry Ornament", which is a sample from the pattern I'm stitching.
