Felted apple made by my young friend Shannon. She felts a group of veggies and fruits. They are all so very cute! Thanks talented gal.<br />
I knitted the leaf under the apple some months ago. It fits in my kitchen cubby perfectly.

I stitched this for Natalie's confirmation. I gave it a lot of thought but it didn't work. She quickly wrapped it up and put it away. Oh well, can't win them all!

There are many pieces. I refuse to count them in fear of being discouraged!! This is supposed to be a SAL with the Kansas Stitchers Group. Once completed, if ever in my lifetime, I was going to give it away as a gift. I have now decided, since I love it so much, to keep it for ourselves for a while. I am stitching with DMC fibers on Flax 36 count linen. It is a lot of work because there are so many color changes, but I am really attached to this piece of work. Interesting to see when it will be completed! I am in no rush. My friend Linda's daughter stitched them all for her. I told Linda to go home and give Rebecca many hugs for stitching this monumental project for her!</div>Lilyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/05712823623085019111noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6078267236470059360.post-44579552215435551572012-02-19T11:27:00.000-08:002012-02-19T11:37:52.306-08:00St. Pat Mitten<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgUKdL-4rRCsfhZ3uk_iR2Mb0xR7bpmRdAaeT-rlLVwFb23sOxDOolfRm-fi5WubU-jvlWlXAhuUoxJHsYN8No-qc-EpZch57ijiJFohpajLYq__Y4wNjW-JpzkvpvClP3nAd3r5ngMrFQ/s1600/mitten+001.JPG"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; width: 320px; height: 240px; text-align: center; display: block; cursor: pointer;" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5710932345410110466" border="0" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgUKdL-4rRCsfhZ3uk_iR2Mb0xR7bpmRdAaeT-rlLVwFb23sOxDOolfRm-fi5WubU-jvlWlXAhuUoxJHsYN8No-qc-EpZch57ijiJFohpajLYq__Y4wNjW-JpzkvpvClP3nAd3r5ngMrFQ/s320/mitten+001.JPG" /></a><br /><div>My friend Kathy stitched this darling little mitten on 32 count linen.

I just love it!</div>Lilyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/05712823623085019111noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6078267236470059360.post-22461835067672471882011-12-31T17:38:00.000-08:002011-12-31T17:41:37.852-08:00Ornament exchange<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhg160V6B-qNpw480cG8RVCNXDsI1ZsZbBpABUCmn2IoZNT-PsXSlSqW9PnkiYTEpLtoIMXaFxacljZ-U5sP1FtUcvD9Srt8iG7yro_GRraqHvdHIqOAKh_oPoQa5ULJHHqvaaFqFkuH5s/s1600/SAM_0083.JPG"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; width: 320px; height: 240px; text-align: center; display: block; cursor: pointer;" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5692472678051969906" border="0" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhg160V6B-qNpw480cG8RVCNXDsI1ZsZbBpABUCmn2IoZNT-PsXSlSqW9PnkiYTEpLtoIMXaFxacljZ-U5sP1FtUcvD9Srt8iG7yro_GRraqHvdHIqOAKh_oPoQa5ULJHHqvaaFqFkuH5s/s320/SAM_0083.JPG" /></a><br /><div>Ornament exchange for Christmas 2011 with the Kansas Stitchers Group.</div><div>Prairie Schooler pattern.</div>Lilyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/05712823623085019111noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6078267236470059360.post-82145763004524633472011-12-31T17:25:00.000-08:002011-12-31T17:29:07.025-08:00Last bloom<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiQUlDUeDg9H4-3yszC6nQPOwrvS2Sf23BLkj3EuZvwSQsQo-0emrA1WN9X3YlwYRxXLXdgF_saHj2mYzF0WBwXKi8w4U1Sk9pW87gWNsqiMtEWXw4cZa1bHaCRI9y-BldmH8dzTsUqMaQ/s1600/SAM_0077.JPG"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; width: 320px; height: 240px; text-align: center; display: block; cursor: pointer;" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5692469449270632226" border="0" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiQUlDUeDg9H4-3yszC6nQPOwrvS2Sf23BLkj3EuZvwSQsQo-0emrA1WN9X3YlwYRxXLXdgF_saHj2mYzF0WBwXKi8w4U1Sk9pW87gWNsqiMtEWXw4cZa1bHaCRI9y-BldmH8dzTsUqMaQ/s320/SAM_0077.JPG" /></a><br /><div>Growing around our light post in the front yard.
