Hello everyone! I'm thrilled to be participating in Pink Saturday again this week!
Today, I thought you would enjoy seeing my Pink Needlework. I adore needlework. I always say I was born with a needle in my hand. My mom and grandma taught me to stitch when I was around 8 years old. I've done everything from old-fashioned outline embroidery (I've been collecting vintage embroidery transfer patterns for years), to needlepoint, punch needle embroidery, counted cross stitch, art quilting, Elizabethan Blackwork and so on. I've done almost every type of needlework imaginable! My absolute passion is crazy quilting.
With that said, I will get on with my pink photos! First, my little kittens in a basket:
I stitched this piece a few years back. It currently hangs in my bathroom. The pattern is a vintage Vogart embroidery pattern. My dad made the simple frame and I hand painted it.
The next piece is a decorative towel that I made for my bathroom a few years ago. It's a peekaboo kitty and also from a vintage Vogart embroidery pattern:
This pretty project hangs in my computer/craft supply room. It's a design I did awhile back when I was designing counted cross stitch for magazines. It's called, "Garden Jewels". I adore hummingbirds and I thought they would be pretty with some colorful fruit. I did not stitch this piece. It was worked by my dear friend Kim:
This lovely pillow is another design from my large collection of vintage embroidery transfer patterns. I crayon tinted the cardinal bird and then did the embroidery:
This pillow is a small piece that I stitched back in the 80's. It was a pre-stamped design:
Here's how they look sitting in my white wicker rocking chair:
I bought this precious little sampler at a flea market this past October. I only paid $12.00 for it! All that stitching and it was only $12.00!!! There's something really sad about that. At least to me. Anyway, it's dated on the back and was stitched in the mid-70's. I left it in the original frame:
Last but not least, is my Pink Crazy Garden Quilt. I know many of my followers have seen this numerous times but in case anyone visits who hasn't seen it, I thought I'd post it again. As I said, Crazy Quilting is my true passion:
That's my Pink Saturday post everyone! I hope you enjoyed seeing my Pink Needlework!
