A small finish and a new start...

The other day I finished "Love Letter" into a little pillow.  There are still a few more days of February left to enjoy it!


Just as I was trying to decide what to stitch on next, Melisa posted about a new mini sampler she designed.  It's the Tulip Mini Sampler, found here.  You know I just had to get started on it!

I'm stitching this with one of my favorite DMC variegated flosses - Laguna Blue. 

It will be fun to have a Spring-themed mini sampler to join this bunch!

That is a sweet finish, love the display with your cute monkey. One of these days I'm going to start a cross stitch cushion collection, I love yours. Have fun with your tulip stitching!

You have inspired me again. I downloaded Melisa’s new mini yesterday after admiring your collection! I will go back and do the Heart one for sure!

Thank you for the link to Melisa's Tulip Sampler. I am so behind on writing & reading blogs but I quickly downloaded this one. Love your thread color too!

Love letter is very pretty. I saved the Tulip Mini Sampler in the hope that I can work on it soon. Thanks for the link. I like the variegated floss you are using.

enjoy finishing yours--

Cutest two finishes! I should pull out my cross stitching UFO and do a few stitches each day.
