Blackwork sampler II



Garden Paradise Blackwork sampler II from Stitcher´s world September 2004 is the pattern do.This is one of four squares.I have used DMC black 2 threads and DMC goldcoloured 2 threads.It's my first project in blackwork and perhaps I have this as a square in the niddle when I do a purse or.....It's really hard with gold thread and this is the first little embroidery and I know I'm going to do more.

Wish you good luck with what you are doing.

Winterday and Halloween cross-stitch



The 26th of October 08.50 I had this lovely wiev from my window.About 5" of snow in the garden.I love these days when it's not so cold.
I have done my first Halloween block.It's a mix of two patterns from Lizzie&Kate.Perhaps I do one in black and with another aida to get the motive bigger.

October-a month full of darkness ,time for cross-stitch and the first snow


The 25th of October we got the first snow.White and beautiful but cold.

Assissi embroidery is a lovely form of cross-stitch where you do the crosses around the motive.I found this pattern on a site from NewZeeland with many free patterns



My husband was hunting elks and I made one in cross-stitch.And he got no elk.This elk is from Anna 10/05
made a bird in cross-stitch, very common in Christmas time.I love the colours contrasting the white snow and the green trees
I'm going to use it for a patchworkblock.

The bird reminds me of winter and Christmas.This is a piece to a patchworkblock in crazystyle.
