Floral Sunshine by Just Nan

This is a complimentary design given with a purchase of the baroque butterfly charm. I stitched this using Fibers to Dyed For (complimentary from Adana!) This is the color conversion:

522 = Scream Green
523 = Autopsy
524 = Corpse
221 = Motive
223 = Madame Ross
224 = Poison Berry
225 = Pink Panther
931 = Stroke of Midnight
3041 = Hitchcock
3042 = Killer Eggplant
3855 = Forensic
3864 = Col. Mustard

Another great addition to my Just Nan collections.

Dear Heart by Shepherd's Bush

This is a DMC kit published by Shepherd's Bush. The kit came with a hand-painted mat. This will be framed up as birthday present for my sister, Brenda. Such a dear to stitch!

Waterlilies by Heartland House Designs

This is an adaptation from a Frank Lloyd Wright design. Both my sister, Vanessa and I love FLW designs. I have done a piece for her before. She stitched a few herself. As for her wedding piece, I couldn't find anything appropriate and decided to add to this design instead. The verse is "A Promise, To Love and Be Loved". This was inspired recently from a movie I watched "Moulin Rouge". I love this verse from the movie " The greatest thing in life is to learn to love and be loved in return." I hope one day I will achieve both.

Berry Basket Sampler by Ewe & Eye & Friends

This is a freebie design. Instead of the original vertical design, I switched it to a landscape view which I can make this into a needle case. The piece is stitched on 28ct rose linen. The border is done using NN Mulled Wine #126. The letters are done using Gumnut Yarns 'Jewels'. My initial is done using NN Wooly Thyme #1411 while my exchange pal's initial is done using Silk n' Colors Frosted Auburn SNC 023. This is my exchange gift to Adana for the 2001 VMS Retreat.

The Red, White and Blue by JBW Designs

This is a limited edition kit published earlier this year. DMC flosses were used. The little tuck-away pillow came with the kit. The fabric is 28ct French Country linen. This is a quickie, I got it done in one seating.

Sweet Liberty by Lizzie Kate

This is a limited edition kit published in 2000. I do not have all the original overdyed. So these are my substitutions. The worlds are stitched using NN Independence Day. Watermelon is stitched using NN Kris Kringle. And the flag is stitched using WDW Bayberry and GA Raspberry Parfait.
