Garden Girl

Since my eyes were so tired last night I decided to start Country Cottage Needleworks "Garden Girl." I worked on it until 11:30 pm and almost finished up "Queen of Swords" by Sara Donati. I ended up finishing it this morning. It was a great book. I'd love to find the other books on CD in the series. Anyway, here's what I got done on Garden Girl last night.

Garden Girl

My pastel fob matches pretty well I think. :) The fabric is 32 ct. Lambswool Jobelan and the threads are DMC. Thank you all for your very kind comments on my P&P finish! :) Write later!

  1. Oh that is sooooo pretty!!! The colors on yours look much prettier than the model that she has! I love the little girl in it too and see that this is a must have for me as well! Your stitching is just beautiful!! Debby

  2. I love the blue! I have a question. Do you stitch on a stitching stand or Q Snaps or in-hand? Just curious. I am always looking for ways to improve my stitching technique.

  3. Danielle,

    I stitch in hand. I've tried q-snaps and hoops and frames, but I always go back to stitching hand. It's how I'm most comfortable. :)

  4. I have another question (thank you for answering the other one so quickly!) Where can I get the egg-shaped thread drops that I saw in a previous post of yours? I am having trouble locating just the plain egg ones. I have seen flip flop and rabbit shaped.

    Thanks,

    Danielle

  5. I get the thread drops at my LNS (silk road needlearts in St. Petersburg, FL). I think Elegant Stitch carries them too. :)
