Scissor Keeper Exchange

Now that I am home from my NYC trip, I am finally able to post pictures of the beautiful Scissor Keeper that Katie stitched for me. She selected a gorgeous design that shimmers with all of the metallic backstitching!

Thank you again Katie for making this such a wonderful exchange!

Things are crazy busy right now so I will hold off posting about my NYC travels until later. 

Until next time...

Scissor Keeper Exchange

I participated in a Scissor Keeper exchange with a small group of stitchers and here is what I stitched for BeckySC:

Designer: The Cat's Whiskers

Design: Scissors By Any Other Name

Fabric: 36ct Edinborough Linen, Flax

Threads: Threadworx Overdyed Pearl 12 "Very Berry"

Stitched for: BeckySC

What a perfect design for this exchange! The word Scissors is stitched in 4 languages: 

Ciseaux = French

Forbici = Italian

Scissors = English

Tijeras = Spanish

I was able to stitch a portion of the design and mount it on a small wooden box.  I love how this turned!

I will be heading out at about 7:30AM (just 6 hrs from now…I need to get to bed!) to begin my 1600-mile trip to New York, NJ, MA. Little Lily (6# Yorkie) will be the perfect road companion, quiet and sweet. I will be attending a HS graduation party in Massachusetts, which will give me the opportunity to see many of my relatives, I will get the chance to see a dear friend in NJ, and I will help my son move into his Manhattan apartment. I'm not sure when I will be returning home, probably at the end of June so this will be my last post for a while.

Thanks for stopping by.  Come on back in July. :)

Until next time...
