Texas Painted Pony Angel

On Sunday I stitched the collar and her necktie.  I stitched the silver star and the state of Texas shape.  I could not find the proper color brown for the Alamo or the correct gray for the armadillo.  I also need some silk ribbon to create the yellow rose.  Now what?

I could work on any of the following:

Betsy Ross from Melissa Shirley

Three French Hens from Shelly Tribbey

Wiseman from Kelly Clark with Amy Bunger stitch guide

Halloween Topiary from Kelly Clark

Birdhouses from Ewe and Eye

Boston ornament

Candy Cracker from Melissa Shirley

Which one?

Almost there...

Wing in woven stitch

Petite very velvet and silver metallic ribbon on the hat

Two tries on the collar

Little heart shaped Rhodes stitch in Neon Rays

There is not much stitching going on here.  I was a bit under the weather today.  My puppy is in the chew stage and now I have a sick kid.  YIKES!

Embellishing the pears

I finished the top section.  Kelly has embellished some of these patchwork pears with buttons, beads, and silk ribbon.  First step, find the buttons!

I bought this to stitch for a dear friend.  I love large blocks of color that allow all kinds of stitches to be considered.
