Secret Stitching Sweetheart

Look what I found in my inbox today:


Thank you for the lovely heart! It's beautifully done! Jo had an awesome exchange idea, now I have to find out who got mine!

I have 2 finishes!!! Can you believe it? The first one is my ruler. I had one before but never stitched the inside part. And I'd lost that ruler somewhere during my trip to Alberta. So I bought another one, I designed the pattern and here it is:



I stitched on the vinyl provided with the ruler. I tried it and I didn't like it. My next insert will be stitched on linen, that's for sure!

My second finish is Cottage of the Month - January.



I still have to do something with it, but as of now - I have no idea what. I will do all 12 of them and I thought it would look nice as a quilt or a wall hanging. I also though that I could finish them as cubes... 

I will leave you with a picture of sunrise in Yukon. Last weekend I captured it's lovely colors





Have an awesome Valentine's Day!

    Love all the items on there, but especially love that you are doing the cottages too! There are sooo many of us hooked on them. Can't wait to see the rest.

  22. Oh, Evalina, I'm now so jealous of you. That sunset is gorgeous!!! I wish I had some as nice. And I had a finish lately too. (Looks like they came out of the woodwork for yours too, lol. I woke up the next day to like twenty comments, and was thrilled.) I love both of your finishes, although they're not my usual style. The snowman is too cute, and I love the design on the ruler. It's cute! Grats to you!

  27. Beautiful sunset photo! What a pretty exchange piece you received. Congrats on your ruler finish. When I did mine a few years ago, I used the recommended 40ct (over 1!) linen. I thought I was going blind, LOL.
