Here is an ornament I stitched for my grandson. It is a freebie design from Midnight Stitching called Snowman's Quaker Christmas. I used DMC variations floss. I really like this ornament and may have to stitch one for myself.
Then I decided to do some selfish stitching. Edgar had stitched this design for the Valentine exchange on the HOE and I had to do it. So I went on Ebay and $20 later the pattern was mine. It's The Valentine Sampler by The Goode Huswife. I will be finishing it off before Valentine's day.
Another selfish stitch is this pincushion called Sarah's ABC pincushion by Blackbird designs. The book is called Thank you, Sarah Tobias. For some reason I really like these long skinny pincushions.
One last bit of stitching for me is this Shepherd's Bush Scissors Fob called Glad Tidings. It goes with a Premax scissors. Can't remember the name right off hand. Another fob for my scissors collection!!I have also stitched for a couple of exchanges, but they have not been received yet so I will have to post them later.
Happy Stitching,

I love all your stitching. I have the snowman in my stash to stitch. I did the Sarah Tobias for an exchange and love stitching it too. I want to do one for me also.
Thanks for sharing your finishes with us.

Wonderful finishes! I especially love the SB fob, it's so pretty!!!
Joan,
Great finishes. The Sarah Tobias cushion is very pretty. What floss did you use? I really like it.
I love the SB fob!! All of your pieces are sooo pretty!
All of them are very nice but the ornament for your grandson is the big winner!!!

Lovely finishes. I've got the Sarah Tobias pincushion kitted up, and will start stitching on that very soon. I hope mine turns out as beautifully as yours. :)

Joan, you are perfectly right to do some selfish stitching. And you have some wonderful finishes now. Congratulations!
Beautiful finishes. Great job of doing something for you. I would be interested in your Goode Huswife chart if you would like to sell it to recoup some of your $. pj
Well joan, I´ve seen this freebie several times meanwhile, can you tell me where I can get it?? It´s soooo lovely,-))
