Houses and Flowers

My first stitches in Jenny Bean's Halloween Sampler. I love this so much. I used a nice piece of cream linen that I had in my stash. I kind of wish that I would have hand dyed it first. Has anyone ever dyed their pieces after they were stitched? I am going to love it anyway.

A new granny square that I tried, might just turn into a blanket. This design is called Little Dahlia, which I changed up a bit. I have already started a new afghan with Summer Garden Squares that I used on my cushion cover, so I am jumping ahead of myself with this new square, but I just had to try it out. I do love flower granny's, and this flower is huge. Decisions, decisions...

More posties later. Have a great day!!!

  1. Great start to your new piece, I would be afraid of dying a stitched piece.

  4. I really like your new granny square and the changes you made to it from the original. Yours is a little more delicate looking. I have never had much luck making squares. Can you give any tips? What are the actual changes that you made?
