Karen's Christmas Star Cross Stitch Freebie 

 

Just Finished

I've been doing some stitching on my little 6 inch crazy quilt blocks and completed 2 more of them:

When I was packing up mom's clothes, I found this sweatshirt that I made for her years ago.  The little Chippy is cross stitched on the shirt using waste canvas.  I did a lot of sweatshirts back in the 90's!  Anyway, I decided to just cut out the little stitched piece and use it on a block.

The large maple leaf is a pin from Avon.  Remember, my mom sold Avon for years and years!  Anyway, I have a green pin just like it that I used on another block.

Again, the little Wood duck was stitched on a sweatshirt for my dad back in the 90's.  He loved it and wore it right up to the last time he went into the hospital.   So again, I cut out the little stitched piece and worked it into this block.

I must have had blizzard conditions on my mind the other day when I stitched this.  We're getting dumped on today!  Anyway, the silver trim is vintage, probably from the 40's.  I found it at a flea market.  The birch trees on the right are just some fuzzy yarn that I couched on with some grey perle cotton. It's very glittery.  It actually looks like I just dropped a ton of sequins on it!  Ya'll know I love my sequins!

New Video for the Colorful Cats

 So this took me hours to do!  But I thought it would be fun:

 

Coming Soon!

The February Colorful Cat is done:

 

 

 

Also, Cobweb will now be available thru me:

 

I will upload the new designs to Kitty And Me Designs on Etsy this coming weekend.  Also, they will start arriving at needlework shops in the next week as well.

Crazy Quilt Owl Block

This little block is done except for a little acorn pin that my mom gave me awhile back.  As soon as I find it, I'll add it to the red patch on the right.

For now, I'm trying to get Kitty And Me back on track.  My paperwork got all messed up so I'm working on getting things back in order with that.  I wasn't able to do much designing over the past few years so I'm planning out some new designs as well.
