"How Does Your Garden Grow?" Part 4

The beginning of June is rather productive for me, I stitched much and I can show you something today. There are some works which I finished stitching but I need a little more time to finish them completely.

I worked on Papillon Creations sampler "How Does Your Garden Grow?" Part 4. Here is how my garden grows:




I looked at the chart of Part 5, it's going to be a butterfly part: must be pretty! But for some reason I want to wait a little and have a look at Part 6 first and then stitch both parts.

Tonight I learned that Mylene got HOE Freebies Exchange package from me. So I can show what I stitched for her.

It was really hard to choose one design: there are so many lovely designs! But I wanted to find a design related to our hobby and something which you do not see in every other blog. After a long search I found the design for my partner.
One day Stitchhappy dropped by my blog and left a comment on one of my works. I visited her blog and spent a lot of time there. She is an amazing stitcher! Just go and see yourself! I loved her fobs and the way she finishes them - very pretty ( I even showed some of them to my husband) ! Hey, is anybody still here? lol And Stitchhappy is also a designer. I chose the design which she says is one of her favorite "Sorry... Gone Stitchin' " . My husband even remembered that in old times shop owners used to leave messages "Closed. Gone fishing" on the doors of their shops on the days when they did not have customers... OK, here is what I stitched for Mylene:



I made the piece into a door knob or it can be used as a decoration in the garden - we don't have much rains in here - it looks great on the shepherd's hook, doesn't it? I hope Mylene likes it as well as other goodies which I sent to her.
Some more pictures of the back and a close up.


Thank you for stopping by, special thank you for those who leave comments.
And I? Sorry.... Gone stitchin'.

Papillon Creations SAL , Part 3

I have some pictures to show of what I have done. I was working on Part 3 of "How Does Your Garden Grow?" Speciality stitch version by Papillon Creation. The square in the centre is the part on which I was working. Oh, I enjoyed stitching this project, it is like a treat for me.

I made some changes in colors. Instead of making each coner in different floral color I decided to add more greenary and to use the same colors of the purple palette in all corners. I think I avoided a little motley effect and made a more organized garden.
















I am pleased with how the Garden is turning out. I wonder what else is going to grow in the garden.

I also wanted to show you the little box in which I keep floss and other necessary things for the project. On the top of the box there is "Pearl Angel" by Just Nan, the design is so delicate here!






















Thank you for stopping by.
Happy Stitching !
