I ran my sewing machine last week and finished a few door hangers that I stitched.
I stitched this piece when my dad was in the hospital. So that was 2 years ago.
The pattern is by
Carolyn Robbins of Kiralyn's Needlearts. Her designs are so sweet and delicate. I added Kreinik Blending Filament to the flowers and the bee.
This was a little kit that my mom bought me years ago. Not sure why I didn't stitch it right away but I pulled it out this year and stitched it around Valentine's day.
The kit is by
Riolis. I checked their website and couldn't find it so it might be discontinued. It's worked entirely in metallic thread with some pink and red beads.
You might remember this pattern since I was stitching on it over the holidays.
Designed by
Kooler Design Studio. It looks like they're working on their website at the moment but I think the actual designer is Sandy Orton. I love stitching cornucopias filled with colorful fruit. The design didn't really seem suitable for lace so I finished the edges with some trim that I crocheted with some of my fancy fuzzy yarn. It's just single crochet with 2 different yarns. The trim is sewn on by hand.
I know you haven't seen this one because I didn't stitch it.
Mom stitched this piece I think back in the 90's. I remember her working on it. Not sure why Mom didn't sew it together but I found it in her sewing room when I was packing up the house. I can't tell you who the designer is either because I didn't find the pattern in mom's things. So, I put it together and now I can enjoy it.
Door hanging pillows are a great way to display small cross stitch and embroidery pieces. I have them hanging all over my house and I change them with the holidays and seasons. They're easy to sew together and inexpensive to put together with fabric and trim left over from other projects.
