Some more finishes

Playing catch up again:)
Here is my LHN Farmhouse Christmas Little Red Barn FFO'D.

Turned out rather well.  

 I found this rake at Hobby Lobby and thought it would workout well for all of my ornaments/pillows when they are all done.  We will see how it goes.

 This piece is from Heart in Hand--2017 Collectors Heart. 
It was stitched on 32 count Vintage Country Mocha with DMC threads.
My 11th stitched piece for this year.
Started 2-4-2018
Finished 2-8-2017

 My 2018 stitched Valentine pieces.

 Stitch Finish 12--Plum Street Samplers--Noah's Welcome.  A freebie chart from Plum Street Samplers.  Stitched on 36 count mystery linen with DMC threads.
Started 2-11-2018
Finished 2-12-2018
I will be stitching series of ornaments.



Jardin Prive--Be You, Just You.  This is finish number 13.
Stitched on 30 count Sea Foam linen by Weeks Dye Works with DMC thread.
Started 2-13-2018
Finished 2-19-2018
I took a framing class from my LNS this week and I used this piece to frame.  I have framed many of my own pieces but decided to take this class as I feel you can always learn something and I DID!!
So glad I took the class!!

Stitched on 32 count linen I dyed with DMC 115.

Prairie Life Sampler

Have you seen the new designs from Beth Twist of Heartstring Samplery for the Nashville Market?
One of her new Designs--Prairie Life Sampler is a Market Exclusive for the shops that are attending the Nashville Market from now until the end of March. This chart is designed from the Little House on the Prairie Books and TV series. 

So with that being said I have teamed up, so to speak with Beth and made a project bag to go with this chart.  I am very excited to be involved in this venture with Beth:)

This fabric collection is called Little House on the Prairie from a few years back.
  
If you watch "The Joan and Kelly Show" on flosstube that I do with Kelly, you can join us 
in a SAL with this design.  We will talk more about this as soon as this chart is released.  

 Here is the front view of the project bag.  

 This is the back of the project bag.  

These project bags are available in my etsy shop: madebymamajoan

So, Prairie Life Sampler will be an exclusive chart for Nashville Market attendees from now until the end of March.  It will be available to everyone sometime in April.

This is Beth's way of saying "Thank You" to the shop owners who go to the trouble/expense of attending Market. As Beth says it can also be a way for all of us stitchers to thank our LNS by ordering from them right away instead of waiting until it is available to everyone.


You can go to Beth's blog and read all about why she thinks it is so great to see all those shop owners at the Nashville Market and see the rest of her new designs.  They are all GREAT!! 

Happy Friday:)
