I have had this Trail Creek Farm freebie pattern for years. I’ve been weeding through my patterns and getting rid of those that I know I will never stitch. When I came across this pattern, I decided that it looked like a really quick stitch so I threw it on top of my “to stitch” pile. I started it yesterday using 32 count French Lace linen and the called for GAST threads.
I finished stitching this afternoon. I knew that I had NO intentions of trying to make the star-shaped pillow as shown on the pattern. I looked for a small square frame in my frame stash but didn’t have anything small enough. Then the lightbulb came on! 💡 I remembered that I had bought a small tin ornament frame years ago at a stitch retreat. Perfect!!!
Now for the giveaway. If you are interested in the Trail Creek Farm Winter pattern, leave me a comment telling me what your favorite season of the year is. You also need to be a follower of my blog. I will let the Random Number Generator pick a winner on Sunday, September 8.......which just happens to be my mom’s 94th birthday! 😊😊
Hi, Donna! I'm new to your blog. Found you through Stitching Friends Forever. Keeping up with a blog can be hard.... believe me, I just came off a two-month "blog-vacation" myself. Luckily, Blogger lets you write posts and then schedule them to post at a date you choose, so if inspiration hits you and you have more to say than will fit in one post, you can write several at once and schedule them to post in the future.
ReplyDeleteI would love to enter to win the little chart. My favorite season of the year is autumn... a nice reprieve from summer's heat and I start getting in the mood to celebrate the holidays. Plus, I love Halloween stitching!

Have a wonderful weekend celebrating your Mom's 94th birthday. The giveaway stitch is adorable but I will pass as I have so much lined up to do. Great idea on using your tin ornament!! It's so nice to have something on hand that works so well.
ReplyDeleteHey, Donna. Your winter ornament is really cute! Happy birthday to your mom!
ReplyDeletePlease enter me in the drawing. My favorite season is early Spring. The days are getting longer, the weather is getting warmer (but not hot), the bugs aren't out yet and the kids are still in school. What more can you ask for?
Happy Birthday to your mom today, Donna!! 94 is quite an accomplishment! My mom is 92 which I also find amazing. Your winter finish is darling--very pretty colors! I'll pass on the giveaway as I have WAY more than I can possibly stitch at my age :) Hope you have a wonderful September!
