Done, done, done and done.


I recently did some napkins for my husband's silent auction at work.  I did these 4 season trees using some beautiful DMC variegated embroidery floss. 


I did 4 more cocktail napkins also.  The napkins were not the best cotton ones but I liked stitching the patterns!  I used patterns from Doodle Stitching: The Motif Collection.  http://www.dreamfollow.com/book.html
This is a great book with a wide variety of patterns to fit all sorts of occasions.  


These are the quilts I have completed for my nephews!  They will be so excited to get them!  In the mail and hopefully in their hands on Friday!

                         



Sublime Stitching: http://www.sublimestitching.com/ is having a little contest to see who's embroidery gets to be the newest shown on the website!  I was not sure about how to stitch this.  This is not a patten I would have normally picked to do, so it was nice to have something challenging.  LOVE the french knot hair and I was particularly proud of the girl in blue.  I was the first to post for the contest so I have not yet been able to compare mine to anyone else's.  We'll see how I fair among the experts out there!  Could be a LOOOONNNGGGG shot but I wanted to try something new!  


    
Going to run the Bolder Boulder on Monday!  Okay, Okay not run but wog (jog/walk)!!!  Here's to hoping I don't come in last of 50,000 runners!  

Happy crafting!  :-)
