Why not join in on the fun of the IHSW (International Hermit
Stitch Weekend)? I know if you’re like me
you’ll be
stitching this week end anyway. To sign up go to Random Ramblings and join the
fun with everybody else. I have been
working on this design for an anniversary gift for my son and daughter-in-law.
It is from a May/June 1988 issue of Cross Stitch& Country Crafts.
It’s being
stitched on 28ct white evenweave with DMC#995 Dk Electric Blue and #413 Dk Pewter
Gray. In place of the little pillow with
their names on it I will be adding the heart from this design I stitched as a
practice for me and the hubby.
I suck at making heart
shape pillows and this will fit the space perfectly. The heart was freebie on a French blog
unfortunately I can’t remember the name. So far this is what I have done.
The IHSW
couldn’t have come at a
better time, with the temperatures soaring into the upper 90s and the high
humidity, the only thing to do is stay inside where it cool and stitch. I hope you all join in and stay cool. Thanks for stopping by and welcome to all my new
followers. I’m off for now to make some wonderful little xxs.

Happy stitching dear Minni and thank you for the reminder to sign up for the IHSW
What a lovely treasure....
Nice design.
Belated Happy Anniversary,we had ours yesterday. :)
Oh that is beautiful Minnie.
What a lovely design. I'm sure they'll treasure it. Stitching the heart is a great idea, Minnie. It will be much easier to frame and preserve for a lifetime (and more!).
What a lovely design you are stitching during the IHSW. Maybe you'll be able to finish it. I also joine dthe fun and hope to have a finish and maybe also a completed pillow. We'll see.
That will look so beautiful with the extra heart that you add. Very creative!
