Forever Wild Horses/ Chevaux Cross Stitch Sampler

Forever Wild "Horses/ Chevaux" Cross Stitch Sampler

This is a 5"x7" (9"x11" with a mat board) finished size cross stitch. It's unframed and I'm adding it to my Etsy site for sale. It is 14 count and stitched in a blue Aida fabric. This is a Janlynn Forever Wild Pattern in a series created by Roger W. Reinardy. There is so much detail to the horses. There are a total of 20 different shades of golden browns and blues in this sampler. The entire space is almost completely stitched.

I love the spirit horse and the sense of freedom shown in this picture.

"Fluttering Butterflies/ Les Papillons Voletant"

"Fluttering Butterflies/ Les Papillons Voletant"

This little embroidery artwork is of butterflies fluttering around fuchsia daisies. This is stitched on a 14 count white Aida fabric. I'm not sure the designer as I found the pattern at a garage sale and it did not list a designer. It looks like the same designer as the birds patterns.

It will fit in a 5"x7" frame without a mat or in a 9"x11" frame with a mat.

"Safe Harbor/ Le Phare" Lighthouse Cross Stitch Embroidered Picture

"Safe Harbor/ Le Phare" Lighthouse Cross Stitch Embroidered Picture

This little embroidery artwork is of a Lighthouse sitting near the sea. This is stitched on a 14 count white Aida fabric. It has many Full Cross Stitches and Half Cross Stitches to allow for a shadowed dawn effect.The French Knots are in green and yellow to add subtle flowers to the design.

It will fit in a 5"x7" frame without a mat or in a 9"x11" frame with a mat.

I'm not sure where the kit came from, but it was one difficult and hard to read pattern. The pattern was mainly in English and French and the picture did not always match up with the pattern key with regards to color nor design.

Bird Watching Cross Stitch

I just finished 2 little 5x7 cross stitch samplers today. They are a Bucilla pattern I found at a garage sale. One of them is of an Eastern Bluebird with a nest of two young birds. The other is of a Painted Bunting sitting on a flowered branch with a bee. They are stitched on white 14 count Aida fabric.

I'll be selling them unmounted for now, so they should be mounted in a 5x7 frame without a mat or 9x11 with a mat.

"Protect the Beautiful Places" Alphabet and Nature Embroidered Sampler

  "Protect the Beautiful Places"

This "Protect the Beautiful Places" Alphabet and Nature Embroidered Sampler is a finished Bucilla Stamped Cross Stitch Kit. It was designed by Nancy Rossi and Copyrighted in 1990. I bought this kit I don't know how many years ago at Ames and just got around to completing it this week.

This sampler is embroidered and cross stitched on printed white sailcloth. It has been washed to remove the printing, so all that is left is the stitching. The words on it are, "Let us protect the Beautiful Places." It has fish, flowers, trees, coral, Orca, Panda, Ducks and Geese in the pattern surrounding a forest scene. There are 9 numbers cross stitched on it and a full alphabet embroidered on the sampler. 

Without a mat, the frame should measure: 11" by 14". With a mat, the frame should be 15" by 18".  That is....when I get around to making a frame for it.

I remembered to sign it, but not a lot of areas available.

A Good thing to do!!!
