More from The White Farm



I stitched the trees to the right of the house using the fly stitch and one strand of Wildflowers.  The background was already stitched using one strand of Lorikeet in the alternating T-stitch.  It's very subtle and very pretty.  These are all ideas I got from Amy Bunger at my last Rent Amy Day.





I finished the moo cow and filled in the wall behind her.  She needs her tail, face and udder finished up.

White Farm Has a Barn Door


I am going to see Amy Bunger soon so I thought it best to get this done!  I am almost there.  I had run out of the overdyed wool Threadworx that she had recommended for the barn.  I got it and stitched the door.  





Next came my moo cow.  This fellow is being stitched with two strands of Burmilana in Encroaching Gobelin.

UT Mini-angel from Painted Pony Needlepoint Designs


Some of the SWANs went on a little retreat.  I managed to stitch most of this cutie in the three days we were gone.  It's for one of the Longhorns in my family.  Happy Stitching!

The Village of Hawk Run Hollow



I am on the last block of this monster.  I bought the chart in 2008 when the SWANs went to Williamsburg.  I think I started it in 2010.  I am stitching away on this thing as much as possible.

Finally Putting Up Christmas


I really loved my Christmas tree this year.  We got a new one for our new space and it worked so well.  I just took it down and I didn't really want to.  Ready to be packed up!

Happy New Year!


Happy New Year to all my stitching friends!  Any stitching resolutions?  I resolve to let stitching consume most of 2019!  I have three nativity sets going and I would really like to finish them up!
