Design: “From Me to You” from the Forget-Me-Nots chart (front)
Verse from #85 “More Friends” (back)
Designer: Prairie Schooler
Fabric: 32 ct. Lambswool
Floss: DMC as charted (verse 1 over 1)
Started: 8/9/11

First up is the pincushion I stitched for Jenny's birthday last month. I know she has a fondness for birds and we share a love of Praire Schooler designs so this seemed to be the perfect fit.

When I make gifts I often like to put the date and initials on the back. Since that information was charted on the front, I couldn't leave the back naked! I found the verse on another Prairie Schooler chart and stitched it over one.

This one I originally made for myself but ended up gifting it to Marsha at the Tiara Retreat. She had admired it when I brought it to a stitch-in this summer so I knew she liked it.
She and I have a "thing" for bees so I took if off my floss ring and gave it to her. I had already started stitching another one for her but hadn't gotten it done yet so I just gave her this one. I can always finish the other one for myself another day. Now she has a floss tag too!

I've also been remiss in thanking Jenny properly for these wonderful gifts. I love it when the mailman bring surprises! Don't you?
I had coveted both these as soon as I saw them and my sweet friend gifted them to me. I will always think of you, Jenny, when I see them. Thank you so very much!
I hope you've enjoyed your visit today. Thank you for stopping by!

I am so glad that you like your acorn and your book, Lisa! I do the same as you; I look at my beautiful pillow, with the sweet design and fabulous colors and think of you. It is lying out in the center of the stitch-room so I see it every time I get in there. I always have to pick it up and hold it foe a moment too!
