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.

Gosh Anita,
Once more you have given us a real feast for our eyes. I love that new DT freebie and have it printed and ready to take on holiday with me. Your emery is beautiful. It's so delicate and dainty. I love the beads and the ribbon. The heart is a really lovely touch.
Your pins are so pretty. The biscornu and French heart are brilliant. I don't know where you find the time to do al this wonderful stitching >)
Hugs, Angela
simply lovely Anita, a real treat for us to see :)
Oooooh! That emery is stunningly beautiful!
I love everything you do, it is all so pretty!
I hope you had a nice Valentine's Day too Anita!
Everything is so gorgeous as always! I think the biscournu is my favorite - the pattern and colors you chose are so striking! The things you make are always so beautiful.
See you in March.
Wow, wow, wow! They are beautiful!!!!
Anita....you are an inspiration...each time you post there is more and more lovlies and they just keep getting better and better! My eyes just pop with each photo in line! GORGEOUS work!!!!!!
And I must tell you...your comment that you left me the other day, brought tears to my eyes...what sweet words and on that day at that moment I needed them. Thank you!
Absolutely beautiful finishes!
I simply love visiting your blog. You have been making super real beauties.
Goodness Anita, you have been busy and everything is just lovely, as usual. :-) I think you are getting more and more proficient with the finishing you've been doing, and these designs just look so pretty! I love the emeries, and the beads. Now,let me ask you, did you make those heart pins that are near the emery, or did you buy those? They are lovely! I also love the design for the emery what design is that? The rose biscournu is darling, looks a little smaller than some of the other ones, not sure if it is the picture or my eyes ...anyway, it is darling. I love roses, and that is a pretty design. YOu have definitely outdone yourself again with these finishes, I really enjoy looking at them all.
Your Valentine finishes are all beautiful Anita, I especially love what you've done with the new DT freebie. The emery is very pretty, I really must have a try at one of these. :o)
Waouw, Anita ! This is so lovely. And you are the strawberry specialist. Thank you for showing us so many beautiful things.

What a feast, Anita! Seeing these drop dead gorgeous colours has truly given me a lift, especially in the midst of a long cold winter. They are gorgeous!

Anita,
Such pretty stitching and finishing! I love the colors of the Pam Kellog piece. I've always admired those mattress style finishes but they do look very time consuming. You did a lovely, lovely job! Thanks for sharing such pretty pictures of your work with us.

These are all gorgeous. Hard to choose a favourite as they are all so lovely but the Drawn Thread is probably the one I love best.
Wonderful stitching and finishing as always!

Oh my gosh, Anita!
You always have been working so hard and have done so well with those tiny pieces!
You are very talented, how can you make so many lovely pieces in a short time?
They are truly gorgeous!!!
Congratulations!
I love seeing all your beautiful finishes! I do have a question, though...where do you find patterns and finishing instructions for the little strawberry emeries you make? I just love those and would like to try one, but I can't seem to find anything. Perhaps I'm not looking in the right places, though...
Some lovely finishing there Anita.
Absolutely beautiful ...... VERY... VERY nice!
