 Becky Bee's Stitching Hive 2010-06-08:
Link: Liberty
Another one for my 4th of July display :) This is my second time stitching this design. It is a Bent Creek Zipper and the first time I stitched it with the supplies provided in the kit. I LIKE this one MUCH better using 32ct fabric :) It's MUCH smaller than the first one I stitched years ago on the called for 18ct. Linen.
I had the perfect finishing fabric in my stash-it compliments the stars in the stitched design :)

Someone asked where I get all my cute charts...some of them I have had for MANY years :) and some are OOP now. I acquired a great many charts when I worked at my LNS because of an employee discount:) Nowadays I purchase from Amy at Down Sunshine Lane and my LNS. There are lots of great charts out there-you just have to do a search for the "type" of chart you want and order it. I KNOW Amy will ship anywhere :)
MANY have asked and I have answered this before..."how do I accomplish so much stitching?" I NEVER sit idle :) I do everything within a day that needs to be done and take the best care of my family and home and YES my home is clean-I am a neat freak and things have to be in order-that's one of the reasons I have extra time-I never let things get out of order and cleaning in my home is relatively easy-I shop for groceries and do yard work and just everyday things that need doing-BUT the main thing is I never sit idle-if I am sitting down resting, I AM stitching :) I no longer have young children at home so that makes it much easier to stitch more often and my hubby is VERY supportive of my stitching and other hobbies :)
YES, I sleep :) I am a bit of a night owl though as I usually go to bed around 1am and I am up taking my dogs out by 8am :) See...no magic beans or stitchy elves in my home...just a very organized ME :)
Thank you all so much for your sweet comments and your personal email :) I appreciate them so very much :) And I love hearing from you all :)
Thanks for stopping by :) Please do come again :)
hugs and love,
