I made it! I finished stitching this a couple of weeks ago, bought the frame soon after, and then nothing. Today I sat down and put it all together so I can say I had it finished in time for Valentine's Day!
I changed the year to reflect the year my husband and I were married and I also put in our initials.
I just love this white bird!!
Here is another picture with a little more light.
I love the frame and thought it was perfect for this piece. You can click on the picture to enlarge the detail.
I have already ordered Beth's next Truly Thankful edition. If you haven't seen it, pop on over to her blog and check it out!
I am really in the mood for spring and I thought of this piece that I stitched last year. It was a freebie that, if I remember correctly, came from Gazette94. If you haven't seen this site, there are many wonderful patterns!
I love the details on this. Especially on the bird.
I matched it with this fabric I had on hand:
I haven't put it all together yet, but I have decided that this is what I want to offer as a 100 (now 100+) Followers Giveaway! I may add some other little goodies in with this as well.
I'm keeping this simple. If you are interested in having this little bird bring some spring your way, just comment on this post only. I will leave this open for two weeks and draw a name on February 28th - my mom's birthday!
Wishing you all a Happy Valentine's Day!

What a pretty Valentine this is.
I'm also in the mood for some spring stitching. And you are right, Gazette has wonderful designs and they are all free. I particularly love her seasonal designs.
I love this little bird design, I actually stitched it up for BeckySC and sent it as a RAK for her (picture in my blog sidebar). So I would love to be included in your draw to win your lovely finish.
Thanks

Your stitched pieces are just lovely. You do such nice work. I enjoy reading your blog. Have a great weekend.
I just discovered your blog thanks to Denise over at Riverside Stitching. I love your work. Please enter me in your giveaway! Your beautiful spring blue bird is perfect. My mom passed away in June and she just loved birds! I have her blue living room set so this would be perfect. Looking forward to seeing more of your work!
