I was reading An's post yesterday about how she hadn't stitched much LHN. Funny enough, neither have I. And nothing for me. And this is the first LHN fruit threadpack that I've stitched (ok I admit it, it's the only one I even have...gasp!) I know that's quite a shock......so I'll save my how I don't have any of the Prairie Schooler fall patterns (yet) for another day :)
This thread pack was bought specifically to be a birthday present for my mom. I think it's sweet. Her birthday isn't till Sunday, we're celebrating it on Saturday~~but she hardly ever checks my blog so I'm unveiling it early because I have a terrible time waiting, lol ;)

Thanks for visiting me and for all of your wonderful, day-brightening comments! Happy Stitching :)

Cute little award too. I've seen that on some scrapbooking sites. Have a wonderful day...guess I better get to figuring what I'm gonna get Mom now??!! I'm sure not gonna make anything! Well she did say she wants a lemon cake with lemon icing???...here I thought she'd want something Choc. guess I better go find a great recipe!
ReplyDeleteHugs :)
I love your watermelon gift pinkeep, and that's saying a lot since I dislike watermelon intensely (ever since I won a watermelon-eating contest in 6th grade - I had my fill for a lifetime!) I'll bet your mom will want to keep her daughter's handiwork, just like I treasure my floss tag.
ReplyDeleteWhat a lovely finish - and your stash fabby matches wonderfully! It's always great when that happens :o)
ReplyDeleteThat is so lovely! I love the fabric and finish.
ReplyDeleteWhat a perfect match with the fabric and ribbon - a great gift for your mother.
ReplyDeleteHow cute!! The colors are beautiful, makes me crave watermelon.

Hey, lovely gift for your Mom's birthday! I stitched this one up recently and that watermelon looks good enough to eat.
ReplyDeleteIt is spectacular...if she gives it back can I have it? LOL!
ReplyDelete:)
I love the fabric you stitched it on...good going YOU!
Hi Staci,
ReplyDeleteYour Mom is going to love this
pin keep you've made for her. It
is just beautiful. And you've
finished it off so nicely with
a nice complimentary fabric and
ribbon.
I guess we all have our own
favourite designers who's
patterns call out louder to us
then any of the others.
I love these little thread packs/chart sets and I've
stitched a few. I think my favourite is Blueberry. The
blue thread used in this one
is scrumptious!
Those fancy eyelets are just
wonderful, and the little
floss tag looks so cute with
that one with the hearts on it.
I love it when a stitcher
finds a way to incorporate
new elements into their
finishes. Bet you've started
something now.
The new socks you're stitching
with the Lion Brand yarn are
going to be so wonderful when
they're done. Love those
Fall like colours.
You don't have any Prairie
Schooler Fall designs either??
Gasp!! OMG!! (Faints in
shock)
I love LHN, but I don't think I've seen this design. You did a great job, and the finishing is wonderful! Hope your mom enjoys her special gift.
ReplyDeleteHi Staci,
ReplyDeleteYour pinkeep is SO lovely~!!
The backing fabric is perfect match as you say!!
I think I had this thread pack in my stash, too, lol I don't remember... haha
Anyway, I LOVE this so much!
I'm sure your mom will love them!!
You did a lovely job with this...I bet your mom loves it!
ReplyDeleteWow! Your pinkeep is very beautiful!I like your choise of backing fabric! Nice gift for mom:)
ReplyDeleteWhat beautiful presents for your Mom! I love the pinkeep, and the fabric and ribbons are the perfect touch. Hope she has a very happy one!
ReplyDeleteSocks & watermelon. Awesome birthday IMHO. Hope mom loves them, I know I would.
ReplyDeleteWow, what a BEAUTIFUL pinkeep, Staci! I'll bet your Mom absolutely loves it! The colors are perfect, and your finishing superb.
ReplyDeleteI love the watermelon pinkeep! The stripes on the back are perfect.
ReplyDeleteOh it's oh so pretty! If your mom doesn't like it can you send it my way? I promise to cherish it! Hee hee...
ReplyDeleteI've only stitching one LHN, so you aren't alone out there!
Petra
What a pretty little thing! :)
ReplyDeleteVery pretty pinkeep, I am sure your Mom will love it. I too haven't one LHN finish yet! I'm working on it though, I have some in my stash just need the time to stitch one up.
ReplyDeletewow...very sweet and pretty pin-keep. The backing fabric matches too! Thumbs up!
ReplyDeleteStaci, your mom is going to love it! I love it! That's a really pretty finish. They're both wonderful gifts!
ReplyDeleteAnd congratulations on your award and from so many others too! A testament to how many people you inspire! Very generous for you to pass along this award to your readers! :D
What a beautiful pinkeep for your Mum!
ReplyDeleteCongratulations on your award!
I love your finish Staci and somehow I don't think you will be getting it back :o)!
ReplyDeleteI have collected/amassed/okay now hoarding quite a few LHN patterns but have completed only one. My bad, as my kid would say.
Happy Birthday to Staci's Mum!
Erynne
Wow, absolutely lovely pinkeep. Everything's perfect. Your mom will surely love it.
ReplyDeleteCongrats on your award!
Ah yes, this was the first LHN fruit pack I did and it still remains my favourite of all of them.
ReplyDeleteI finished mine into a pinkeep also.
This gift for your mom is so pretty. She is sure to love it very much and no, I don't think you'll get it back LOL.
Aren't those LHN/CC Thread Packs great? Your coordinating fabric on the back of the pinkeep is perfect!
ReplyDeleteYour watermelon is so cute!!I want it!!Absolutely!:)
ReplyDeleteAnnalisa
I love your pinkeep, Staci!! Just perfect as always :)
ReplyDeleteA lovely pinkeep, LHN is one of my favourite along with PS...your mum will be delighted with it, I am sure.
ReplyDeleteStaci,
ReplyDeleteYou did a great job on the pinkeep and socks. I am sure your mom will love your gift.
love your gifts for your Mum, I'm sure she will love them, and I don't think you'll be bringing any of them back home with you.
ReplyDeleteThat is just beautiful! Love the fabric too!
ReplyDeletea very beautiful pinkeep.
ReplyDeleteNice stitching and finishing. Your finishing is always so perfect. This is in my stash,just never made it to the top to stitch.
ReplyDeleteDo you have all those blogs in your Google Reader or Bloglines whichever you use? Will have to check a few new ones out.
What a cute pinkeep! I stitched that one and finished it as a needlebook, I like these little threadpacks, they look so pretty. I saw one lady is stitching them all over one on one piece of linen, it looks very good so far.
ReplyDeleteI wish I could knit socks, I love knitted socks… maybe I need to learn to knit :D As if I need another hobby :D
Lovely pinkeep!
