Sew Red from Caracas

I received an email from Béa in Caracas with these two photos of her finish of Sew Red. Stitched on Edinburgh Summer Khaki using DMC 926, 611 and 3032, Bea finished her beautiful version as a trinket tray. A stunning finish Béa - thank you for sharing!

Sew Red chart is still available (free with a purchase of any chart) from my charts blog *here* (or use the CHARTS button on the sidebar).

I have been very lapse in showing my TUSAL jar on a monthly basis but here is my 2009 jar in its full glory! I have a smaller jar which I use for the month and then transfer the snippets of threads over to this special jar (gifted to me by Valie on my trip to France last year) on the last day of the month. If you peek inside you can see strands of Raisin Wine used for Beatrix, some threads from my Christmas ornies and a bright red perle cotton that I used for stringing up the Christmas cards. Now this jar has to be emptied to allow for January's snips.

I have been working on charting up some new iStitch designs and stitching 'Alphabets à ...' and will show a photo later. I have also been updating the 2010 Christmas Challenge blog. This blog is now open for new members so if you are interested in joining, please email me (my email address is on my profile) with your name and blog link if you have one. The aim of this blog is to encourage to stitch and finish at least one Christmas ornament per month.

Thanks for visiting

Take care

That finish of Sew Red is fabulous! It is amazing how using different colors makes the piece look completely different. And, yay, new iStitch designs! Can't wait. Keep them coming. Now if I only could quit my job to stitch!

Thank you for sharing that wonderful finish! I have your patterns on my wish list and hope to cross them off someday!

It's a wonderful finish - and funny, but just yesterday I thought that it would be nice to use on eof your designs for a small tray - and here it is, already made :)))

Wow! I love Bea's finish! I may have to ummm, "borrow" that color scheme when I eventually get to stitch Sew Red! :) It's lovely.

What a beautiful interpretation of your chart Carol. Bea's finishing is lovely. The colours are so soft and delicate.

Your jar looks like Joseph's technicolour dreamcoat. What wonderful memories are nestling down in there!!
