Pretty in Pink and a Giveaway!
Thanks for all the lovely comments on my last blog post. They mean so much to me. I think Stella is a hit. On the stitching front, I just love the pink frame. I don't usually go this way but for a seasonal piece, I think it works well. My framer has a bunch of different colored frames that I will be using in the future.
Cheryl and I spent some time this week to do some finishing.
We put together May word play (I just love these designs), Sarah Tobias pin pillow. The chenille that it is laying on is what I will be putting on the edge. lastly is The Prim Sisters. Below is the back of the Prim Sisters.
This is my favorite finish! It is A Dutch Sewing Pillow by GPA. I bought the finishing kit. I couldn't be happier with it. All the pictures are clickable for a larger view.
I finished this today. It is Summer Splendor by LHN. I think a little red frame would look nice. I also finished Maxim and Zoya by PPS. I don't have a picture but will show it after I pick it up at the framer. I have just over 600 followers and that deserves a giveaway.
This is what I have so far. Two BBD designs, Bohin scissors, flower frog, ort container, a cute notepad and a little pillow made by me. I will probably add some more little things. The rules are just be a follower! You don't need to put it on your blog. Stella would like to add a treat if you have a dog or cat, so please let us know which you would prefer. I will pick a name on May 1st. Good Luck! Until next time...Happy Stitching! Deborah

Wonderful stitching!
Wow-600+ followers! That is certainly worth celebrating. I seem to be stuck right under 300 and will do a giveaway when it goes over :)
Please throw my name in the giveaway, no animals in the house at this time-that is a sweet thought though.
Have a great one!
P>S> Love the pink frame on Spring Fling!
A lovely giveaway and beautiful stitches as always. I would love to be included! See you at Celebrations!
Love all your finishes! Great finishing work! Please include me in your giveaway drawing, I have a dog and a cat so either extra would be appreciated. Thanks! :)
Lovely stitching and finishing as usual. I really love your pink frame :) Makes the design looks sweeter than it already is.
I think Summer Splendor would go well with a red frame too. That would bring out the reds in the design nicely.
Very generous giveaway, Deborah. Not sure if I'm qualify to enter as I know that scissors frog must be pretty heavy and I'm all the way here in Malaysia.
Hugs,
Veronica.
Lots of fun little finished projects. Good for you. A couple of these are on my to do list. I, too, like your choice of the pink frame.
Your giveaway is wonderful. Please include my name in the drawing. I don't have any pets, but my stitching pal's dog Ozzie loves presents! Stella is a sweetie. I love dogs, but have been without one for six years now, and find that it is just too easy not to have one...especially now that I live in a cluster home.
Again, nice work on all your little finishes.
Bobbi
Such lovely finishes. Love the Dutch Sewing pillow, too! I may have to hunt that one down.
600 followers! Wow. I'm impressed.
That's a terrific giveaway. My kitties say enter us!
I love all of your finishes and the pink frame! Can't wait to see a red frame on LHN's Summer Splendor.
Please enter me in your drawing.
Happy Spring!

Thanks for the fun
love your spring stitches, deborah! i am one of your 'quiet' followers. a dog treat with the loot, if i'm lucky enough to be chosen!
best, tracy
Oh my so much beautiful stitching to comment on! The pink frame is perfect - highlights the stitching but doesn't overpower and gives the feel of spring. I hadn't seen the LHN piece, love the colors and it has a weeping willow and strawberries - two of my favorites! Looking forward to seeing Maxim and Zoya framed, I have this one in my to-be-stitched pile (along with too many others)
All of your finishes are gorgeous Deborah. I recently discovered the "Thank You Sarah Tobias" pattern book from Blackbird Designs that you stitched the pin pillow from. How on earth did I miss that one? I also love the With Thy Needle and Thread word play door bells. The May pattern is next on my to do list -- hopefully I will get to it before May is over!
I would appreciate being entered in your drawing. We don't have a dog or a cat, though there is a neighborhood cat who thinks he owns us. :-)
What a fabulous bunch of finishes! They all look so good! Congrats on all of your followers!!
Love the pink frame! It looks amazing with that finish!
You and Cheryl accomplished quite a bit with your finishing. It all looks wonderful. I especially love the Word Play!
I would love to be included in your giveaway. You've collected such a sweet package too! Congrats on all those followers!!
Congratulations on such a high number of followers! You deserve them :) I would love to put my name forward for the giveaway. It's such a generous parcel, any one would be lucky to win it.
I love the pink frame, I think it suits the design perfectly.
Best wishes.
I love all your goodies! Please add me and Miss Abbie (dog) to your giveaway. I'm already a follower and read your blog.
Thanks Deborah for being so generous.
