Weekly Rotation #8 ~ Red Rose 12/13-12-19

Hi there Everyone! 

With this past week's rotation, I was working on Red Rose by White Willow Stitching. The artwork is by my brother! With preparations for the holidays, there wasn't much time for stitching, but I did manage to get in a few stitches. 

With Christmas coming up next week, I will most likely have no time for stitching, as I need to make my daughter's & son's fleece tied blankets and pillows. My daughter's is Hello Kitty and my son's is Darth Vader. So there won't be a weekly rotation. 

I want to wish all of you who celebrate a very Merry Christmas!!! 

Until Next Time,

Weekly Rotation #7 ~ Queen Bee 12/06-12/12

Hello Everyone! 

Well, I got a bit more of the apple area on Queen Bee done this week. It was a bumpy week, so I kind of had a hard time finding the motivation. But I did make some progress and progress is progress, right?! 

So here we are on Queen Bee ...

Up next in the rotation is Red Rose by White Willow Stitching. The artist is my brother! He drew the rose without any color and WWS designed the cross stitch design in several different color roses. The one that I am working on is the Red Rose, but bcuz WWS was not able to get a good mock up picture of the design in red, I am stitching it up so that she will be able to use my stitched picture for the pattern cover. Here is what the rose design looks like in black. But just picture it in red! 

I am stitching the design on 14ct aida. It seems weird to be doing since lately, I have been doing most of my stitching on 18ct and also recently 25ct. But I know the end result will look great! I hope my brother likes it! 

Until Next Time,

♥ Margie ♥
