Poinsettia


I actually got two stitched over this past weekend. I'm stitching poinsettias right now, I plan to pick Santas next to stitch. Anyway, this one is Poinsettia by Brittercup Designs and appeared in the 2007 JCS special issue. I changed the colorway to "brighten" it up just a bit, using Ozark Sampler flosses, and it's stitched on a plain white piece of linen (a real departure for me, LOL) that I found in my fabric tub.

I was able to get this stitched on Sunday. Just in the nick of time. I substituted fibers for what I had on hand. The falling snow did not show up well, so I may stitch this one again on a different fabric.

Tennis Sensation Hot Anna Kournikova

Ex-tennis Sensation Anna Kournikova one of the most searched people on the internet. She proves that you don't need to be a star tennis player to be one of the most highly endorsed athletes, nor do you need killer tennis skills to have a deadly internet virus named after you. In February 2001, the Anna Kournikova Virus was released. Within a few hours of its distribution anti-virus vendors received thousands of reports. However, investigators were only able to list 55 incidents of infection, causing just $166,827 worth of damage. On 27 September 2001, a Dutch court gave the virus's author, Jan De Wit, the choice of 150 hours community service or 75 days in jail.

I'm back to stitching ornaments again, and on a poinsettia kick. Have scoured all my JCS Ornament Special Issues looking for the charts, here is the first one to be stitched. It went quick! I just started it yesterday evening, and now it's done. The designer is Samplers and Such, and it appeared in the 2005 JCS special issue.

A Colonial Christmas Ornament

Latest Finish:  17.04.08, A Colonial Christmas Ornament


Here is my latest ornament, "A Colonial Christmas Ornament" by Cherished Stitches from the 2007 JCS Ornament Issue. There are a few things about this piece that I should mention: First, instead of beads I chose to do French knots for the holly berries. Second, the date and the holly on the third panel are stitched over one... on 36 count! Third, I am especially proud of the cording that I made. After two or three years of making my own cording, I finally made a length that has uniform tension!
