I stitched two more Noah’s Ark stitchery patterns a couple of weeks ago. They turned out really cute! The designs are from a block-of-the-month series by Lynette Anderson Designs. (See the convenient link in my right-hand navigation bar.)
The cow/rainbow and elephant patterns were published in May and July, respectively. Yes, yes, I am out of sequence! Last month, I did the June pattern for the delightful kangaroos. The stitching is tiny. The cow/rainbow picture measures 3” by 5”, and the elephant picture measures 2-½” by 4”. I took a little design liberty with the first one and added two white, puffy clouds. The sky looked kind of “nekkid” without my additions!
I will be starting the August pattern soon. It is a folk art portrait of Noah with two giraffe friends. I better get busy because the September pattern will be posted next week! Ack, where did this month go?
Those are so cute! You are very talented.
ReplyDeleteAny word on the house?
Thank you, Kim! I have to do a little bit of stitching to keep a wee bit of my sanity, LOL.
ReplyDeleteThe couple who have placed on contingency on our house have officially got their house on the market now. Yeah! We have to wait until October 1, when the contingency lifts, to see whether they are going to buy our place or not. We're in a waiting game right now. In the meantime, I am seriously pitching excess STUFF, and assuming that we will have a firm sale. Thanks for asking!
How adorable!! So sweet and cute. I do not have the patience nor the eyesight to do that delicate of work. But, maybe I should try if it helps with sanity! hahaha
ReplyDeleteHope you guys have a nice weekend, and can get some rest. ((HUGS))
Haha, Sally, it only helps a "wee bit" on my insanity level! I appreciate your admiration. I don't know how much longer I can do stitching, but it's fun while I can.
ReplyDeleteThanks for the good wishes! We'll be busy this weekend, tossing more STUFF I'm sure! Hope you have a nice holiday weekend too!
I love these! The rainbow looks like a lot of hard work... can't wait to see September.
ReplyDeleteThanks, Cindra! Nah, it wasn't hard, just a little time consuming.
ReplyDeleteHi Donna, Thanks for laying your beautiful stitchery aside for a little dogwalk in Vienna ;)
ReplyDeleteHave a nice weekend!
It was a delightful walk, Maria! I hope that you have a lovely weekend too!
ReplyDeleteWOW!!!! You did really good! I love the way you did the rainbow! Keep up you beautiful work my stitchin friend!!!!!
ReplyDeleteHUGS~Judy
I appreciate it, Judy!
ReplyDeleteWill these be part of a quilt or framed? I take it you are doing a stitchery of the month? These are adorable...you always do such nice work Donna! Cindy
ReplyDeleteThank you, Cindy! These will all be put together with sashing for a little mini-quilt. The designer has a chart laid out so you know which pieces go where (since they are different sizes). She provides a different pattern every month, with 6 provided so far. I've gotten 5 done. This week there will be another one available!
ReplyDeleteHave you already stitched the other part of the rainbow ?
ReplyDeleteYour blocks are beautiful !
Thank you, Annelies! As usual, I am running behind on my stitching, LOL. I have the top half of the rainbow to do yet, and also Noah with the giraffes. This series is so charming!
ReplyDeleteThese are adorable - I especially like the elephants.
