Following all of my Autumn and Christmas finishes I have been looking forward to starting off the new year with a change and hopefully a leaning towards spring.
My first small finish for this year is Country Rustic Primitives Grow Old With Me designed by Jenny Hoffman.
I love Jenny's sweet little stitches and they make such lovely pinkeeps. The finishing on this one is not complete but I am hoping to incorporate some sort of lace into the finish. I have a few more Valentine smalls that I want to finish up in the next week or so. Then I'll do the finishing on all of them at the same time. Jenny's sister, Shelly Auen, is also a designer and I've just started one of her Valentine smalls as a companion to this one. They will make a lovely addition to my bowl of smalls and I hope to have a pic of the latest one soon.
Here's some of my Valentine smalls that I have out on display.
The two at the back are designed by my friend Nan Lewis of Threadwork Primitives.
The above two are also designs of Jenny Hoffman which I stitched last year for the Smalls SAL.
The two below were designed, finished and gifted to me by my friend Theresa Meloon of Dulaney Woods Treasures who produces some awesome primitive finishes.
I hope all those of you who were impacted by the recent blizzard have managed to dig yourself out and weathered the storm without any damage of sorts. This one managed to bypass us and to date we have had only one significant snowfall which I think is a record on its own for our area. Happy stitching and I'll see you next month!
All of your Valentine stitching is so pretty.
ReplyDeleteThe hearts by Theresa are unique, so pretty.

Your Valentine bowl is filled with so many wonderful little pillows and hearts, it's such a pleasure to look at them. Your latest Valentine stitching by Jenny Hoffman will look great together with the already finished pillows.
ReplyDeleteYour Smalls SAL finish is beautiful and all hearts are wonderful.
ReplyDeleteHi Lynn, your smalls are so cute! Happy stitching!
ReplyDeleteI love your finish -- great words of wisdom. Your little pillows are beautiful too.
ReplyDeleteI love all your Valentines smalls. I'm really beginning to think that that needs to be my theme for next year.
ReplyDeleteI especially love your finish for this month. That is the quote my husband and I put on our wedding announcements, and I gave him an engraved wallet card with the same quote for our 10th anniversary.
Thank you for joining the Smalls SAL again!
Wonderful work Lynn! Amazing hearts - great for Valentines!
