Getting Into Little House Needleworks Again

While I have been waiting for the RAK ornaments to arrive (still waiting to hear on 2 - with fingers tightly crossed), I have been quietly stitching. This pillow was finished last weekend. I have been looking to have another finish as a pillow for quite a while so this was the perfect design. Stitched on 40ct 1 over 2 it is only 4" square. It could of been finish either way, landscape or portrait, but I decided or rather it just got stitched in an upright pillow.


Garden Pleasures - Little House Needleworks.
40ct Cream Newcastle Linen.
A mixture of DMC, Crescent Colours and GAST.
Stitched 1 over 2.
Finished as a pillow.

  20. Wow, this is so pretty. It's amazing how different ways of finishing make a design look totally different. The rich red fabric picks up the red in the design perfectly.
    Warm wishes Angela
