Anita's Stitching

I have begun stitching in 1978. For the last 10 years, my stitching has been with "smalls". I love to use beads and ribbons and always looking for new ways for finishing. My email addresses is anita@anitalittlestitches.com.

Valentine Stitching

I just finished a few Valentine theme stitching. I kept on making mistakes and the finishings took forever, here they are:


The new Drawn thread freebie. I used DMC for the greens and random Vikki Clayton Silk. I added a few beads and a pearl crystal heart. I love this type of finishing, but it is very time consuming.






Another emery, I bought a very cute heart charm:






Pam Kellogg Valentine Biscornu, I changed quite a few colors with the design and beads:




A French design, heart shaped pinkeep, this is my first heart shaped finish. Next one will be better. I used Vikki Clayton silk in this piece.




Hope everyone had a great Valentine Day. See you all again in March. Thank you so much for visiting my blog and special thanks for the ones who took the extra time to leave me comments.

More Strawberry emeries ideas

This time, I am experimenting with Band sampler with the Strawberry emeries. Sweetheart tree and Shepherd's bush are some of my favorite designers when I first started stitching. I love and collect all the Sweetheart tree needleroll patterns. Take a look and see this type of finishing has a lot of possibilities.

This is the Happy Valentines Day freebie from Pelin Tezer Website, I stitched one over one and finished as a strawberry emery and the one over two as a pinkeep with my ribbon rose pins:







I am going to share some Valentine theme freebies that I came across on the internet:
