Amy Bunger is Wonderful

Shelly Tribbey's Three French Hens
 Steph/Eliz 3.0 was so much fun.  I started out with this very old canvas.  I have such trouble with birds.

My Spot

Tail feathers

Double Stitch for the head and neck



Finished head and neck
You can also see the French Knots with Neon Rays for the comb and a Filled Lazy Daisy for the waddle or whatever that thing hanging down from the beak is.

Relaxing

Relaxing after a hard day's stitching by stitching in bed.  What else?

Eliz/Steph 3.0

Sorry the blog has been a bit of a bore lately.  Not much stitching getting done as I am preparing for my trip to Memphis to see Amy with Elizabeth!  Our third trip there together and I can't wait.  Why do we go?



















All of the above are stitched from Amy Bunger stitch guides!  Fabulous!

A little of this, a little of that

Baby Jesus from Heartstrings Nativity
 Working the body of the star with three strands of floss.
Pumpkin from Associated Talents
 Criss-cross Hungarian on the pumpkin body with Silk Lame.  Not sure I like it.

London Bus by Princess and Me
 I stitched the fender grate with two strands of floss.  I am stitching the hubcaps with Flair.

Susan Roberts
And look what I found in the Susan Roberts catalog at The Needle Works.   I would love to have this.
