S is for Stitch...and another giveaway!!!...


My 13 year old daughter Kassidy and I 
just recently re did her room and ever since...
she has been busy making projects to decorate it:)
When I received this beautiful new book
by my friend
Kristyne of (Pretty by Hand) fame...
Kassidy just had to get her stitchin fingers going right away!

This is Kristyne's first book and I must say that
 she has done a wonderful job!
It's beautifully written and is perfect for both beginners
 and seasoned stitchers alike.
Inside you will find 52 darling little embroidery designs
 to add a stitchy touch to your quilty projects.


They say that the apple doesn't fall far from the tree...
  Kassidy loves making hexies as much as I do
so naturally she decided they would be
 the perfect base for some stitching.
She used the 2" hexagon papers that fit perfectly
 with Kristynes design size in her book.
(2" refers to how long each hexie side measures)


To embroider on...
she chose 5" squares from this pack of 
They are perfect for this!
As you can see...
they are basic solids with a bit of textured shade.


She traced the pattern onto the squares  straight from the book...



And she used a cute little 3" wood embroidery hoop when stitching:)



Aren't these designs so cute?



She used a charm pac of It's a Hoot to make a bunch of hexie's.
The 2" paper hexie fits perfectly on a 5" square...
don't you love that?



She didn't even trim it into a hexie shape...
just folded it as she went.
Don't you just love that too?



Done in a jiffy!
Of course she used the
 method that I always use...
the one I did
 on way back.
As you can see there is no stitching
 into the paper...
making it fast and so easy.




So far she has marked... 



and stitched...



four of Kristyne's designs and several hexie's.
Aren't they cute?
I'm sure she will do more but here they are laid out so 
you could see what it's looking like so far.
She thinks she is probably making something for her dresser...
or maybe a large pillow.

She has been having fun with it and I'm so glad
 that Kristyne's book came along when it did.
It's perfect!!!
Thank you Kristyne for letting me ...
(and Kassidy)...
 be a part of your book tour!!!


If you would like a copy of your own...
and believe me...you do:)...
leave me a comment and I'll pick a name! 
Deadline is April 4th.

S is for Stitch

  71. Kassidy ROCKS!!! She's doing this well now, imagine how good she will be by the time she gets your age! I would say she would be better than her Mama after starting at such a young age, but I don't think it gets any better than your designs and work! Thanks for the chance :)

  74. After 45 years of NO hand sewing, I have finally found a re-newed love of hand embroidery! I made a baby quilt using Betsys Closet pattern and am now working on Witches In Stitches Bootique. Although my stitches aren't even close to what my Grandma and Mom tought me, I keep plugging along....(but I still can't do a French knot)!
    This looks like the perfect book for me...and even if I don't win it, I may just have to shake the moths out of my wallet and buy my own!!!
