Bonne Annee Carolyn!

The minute I saw this pattern on L'R de Rien's blog, I knew it was exactly what I wanted to stitch for Carolyn's birthday gift. We both love French designs and red...

Bonne Annee freebie by

L'R de Rien found here

fabric: 28ct Graziano Newport in Cream/Natural

fibers: DMC

filled with crushed walnut shells


Google translates "Happy New Year" into French as "Bonne Annee". But it translates "Bonne Annee" into English as "Good Years". So that is my birthday wish for you dear friend...a very Happy New Year and many Good Years!!!

That is just beautiful, as usual. I am curious about the crushed walnut shells though. I have never heard about that, but that is nothing new.

That is a fabulous French pincushion. Your finishing is superb also.

Just beautiful! Every time I visit with you, Staci, I just want to put aside everything else I'm doing and just stitch! Love the little details you've added to the back. Makes it extra special.
