Sew le couer de Paris





Photos by Barbara


I heard from Barbara of To Stitch or Not to Stitch that she has recently finished Sew le couer de Paris so I quickly went over to her blog and discovered her wonderful version of this chart. With her permission I 'borrowed' a couple of her pictures - there are lots more on her blog so please go take a look. Barbara stitched the design with black and a variegated gold HDF silk threads and then used her Parisian themed fabric to make this wonderful case for her knitting accessories. Thank you Barbara for allowing me to post your beautiful project.

Sew le coeur de Paris chart is still available *here* or by clicking on the CHARTS button on the sidebar

I have been doing a little stitching/designing but nothing to show as yet.

Thanks for visiting
Take care

Two more iStitch finishes





Photo by Anita


This very beautifully framed finish of Sew le couer de Paris was sent to me by Anita of San Antonio TX (blog?). It was stitched as a souvenir of her trip to Paris last August. She used HDF silk threads from her stash but I do not know what fabric she used. What a lovely memento? Anita is now working on Sew Parisian - I see a theme here.

Anita - if you let me know if you have a blog, I will add a link to it.

Last week Cindy of 'Chronicles of a cross stitching hockey fanatic' sent me her finish of Sew Red (see last post); this week her lovely finish of Sew Easy, another freebie from iStitch Designs. It is stitched 1*2 on 32ct Antique White Wichelt linen with Caron Waterlilies in Cherry Cordial. 

Thank you to both Anita and Cindy for allowing me to show their beautiful finishes. 

Both of these designs are available *here* - for Sew Parisian there is a link on the sidebar. For Sew Easy follow the 'Freebies' link, also on the sidebar.

If you have an iStitch Design you would like to share, please send me a picture together with details of fabric and threads used. My email address can be found on my profile.

Sew le coeur de Paris





To celebrate my recent trip to Paris, I designed Sew le coeur de Paris. The Eiffel Tower is, of course, the heart of Paris so I surrounded this with an alphabet in the shape of a heart and finished it as a heart ornament! This will be given to Kirby as a reminder of our trip. It is stitched on C'mon monde dusky pink 36ct linen with HDF silk threads in ebony, dark mauve and pink pearls and finished as a heart ornament.

You can find this chart *here* or by clicking on the CHARTS button on the sidebar.
