Blue glass nesting hen
(Do you collect these hens too?)
Salmon
(One of my favorite foods.)
Button jar.
Rose- The Fairy
(Do you have one of these in your yard?)
And here is the whole thing.
Over the past couple of weeks I added to the blocks and borders that I thought were lacking a bit of umph, and learned 2 more new stitches in the process. So some of the squares look different than the original pictures I posted. I may still tweak a thing or two.
Amy, this was so much fun! Thanks for letting me join the group late!
Yay! It's Friday!! We are going out for Mexican food tonight. And tomorrow my daughter and I are going to a bridal shower. This is going to be a fun weekend! Hope y'all have a happy weekend too!

ReplyDeleteYour stitching is very pretty and once again I wish I'd taken part - but I'll have to settle with enjoying the photos from those of you who made it to the end.
I adore your sampler..and isn't learning something new fun? Thanks for telling me the name of the unidentified flowers in my front bed. Fun to learn something new!!
