Finally! It's only taken me more than 3-1/2 years to get around to stitching the models for this design I originally released in January 2013. The pattern contains both colorways, for the boy & girl versions. It's a relatively quick stitch (especially if you leave of the "dotted" background) and would make a great gift for someone's new baby.
Of course the fantastic finishing was done by Rita at SnowBerry NeedleArts. And I surprised an old co-worker of mine by sending her the boy version model for her miracle baby, Noah.

I did purchase 2 pieces of fabric from the Picture This Plus Christmas in July sale, but that won't count towards purchases until it ships and is charged to my credit card. I'd better get busy stitching to offset those dollars!!

Today I'll be sharing my Moose Silhouette. This particular design was requested by Shelby, who follows my Facebook page, as something to stitch that would match her kitchen decor. I stitched my model using DMC #315 on a 25 count Lugana fabric in "Mushroom" by Zweigert.

I've been remiss in posting here for quite awhile. My only excuse is after spending all day on the computer at my full-time job, I have zero desire to be on the computer nights and weekends. I pretty much turn on my laptop at home 2 or maybe 3 times a month anymore. And since I've released a few new patterns in the past couple of months, I'm going to spread out the posts over several days so I'm not bogging down anyone's email that subscribes to notifications.
Today I'll be sharing my Irish Wolfhound Silhouette. This particular design was requested by Anita from Stitches From the Heart in San Antonio, TX while I was at their stitching camp in March. It was a joy to stitch. I stitched my model using DMC #645 on a 28 count Lugana fabric in "Haven" by Picture This Plus. I loved this fabric so much, I plan on buying more to use with future designs!
