Winter Night Sky ~ Impressionistic Freebie

Winter Night Sky

A Christmas/Hanukkah present for those who love complex charts!  The finished product is only 7.25 x 7.25″ on 32 ct, but the charts are large due to the detail.  I’ve been experimenting with colors and images, and this is the result … my impression of the night sky at this time of year!

I won’t be active online until the New Year, as much good stuff is going on here!  May you enjoy your holidays and your stitching, and I hope to see you again in a happier, more peaceful and prosperous New Year!

Ciao!

Second Sofa Pillowtop

Second Pillowtop for my sofa.  This one is smaller … just a smidge larger than 6 x 6″ on 16 ct.

My Adaptation of Part of Needleprint’s Infinity Chart for Judith Hayle ~ Morphed for a Pillowtop

Part of my adaptation morphed to make a pillow top

My Judith Hayle sampler adaptation will hang in our living room when it’s finished.  It will hang by the couch, so I decided to make some new pillowtops to spiff up the pillows on the couch.  This is a picture of the chart I created for the first pillowtop, which will be just under 10 x 10″ on 16 ct.  The others will be smaller and have some different shapes.

I love kaleidoscope and mandala patterns, so I took part of my Judith Hayle adaptation to morph a pillowtop.  I plan to do a few more to scatter along the back of the sofa.  I like the combination of the long band sampler with these kaleidoscopic pillows in the sampler’s colors.

Stitching Updake! In Winter a Cat … Stitched by Karen

Karen's Stitching ~ In Winter A Cat ...

Karen, a member of The Sampler Life, a Yahoo Group I also belong to, and another cat lover, is the first stitcher to send me a picture of her completed work!

I love knowing that my patterns have been adopted by good stitchers, and will go on to lead happy, decorative lives!

I forgot to ask her permission to share the address of her stitching albums, but I’ll ask her and put up the link if she OKs it.  She has many beautifully completed pieces, and I’m very honored that In Winter is one of them!

Niggy with her eyes open!!

Niggy humored me the other day, and kept her eyes open when I photographed her!  Her expression is slightly bemused, but patient.  “Remy, will you ever stop with this camera thing?”

In the Red with Dell

2009 November 16
by embroiderbee

If you’ve been following our Dell drama, this will hopefully be the final installment.  The PHD arrived this afternoon.  DH installed it, and we have RED!!  This is the good part.

Contrary to what the Philippines Dell Person told us the other day, we must return the non-working PHD, or pay for it.  Not a biggie, as these things go … just more proof that the Left Hand of Dell frequently does NOT know what the Right Hand of Dell is doing.  It feels like the “inmates” are running this particular asylum … and the real “Dell Doctors” are locked in a closet somewhere.  Everyone is very polite, but no one has any dependable answers.

But, we’re grateful for small mercies, and we do have a working printer again!

I apologize!

I just noticed that I left out the y in the lower case alphabet!   I’ll re-chart that line, and post it for you later today.  I can tell from my stats that it’s been downloaded over 30 times, so please pick up the correction chart next time you stop by.
