Take a Stitch Tuesday, gifts

The Vandyke Stitch is the next one posted by Sharonb at http://www.pintangle.com/ First I stitched it in a straight row with long legs in navy wool. Next the light blue is Perle Cotton with the cross off to the side. It looked like a stitch that could be done randomly, so the red is that example in floss and a smaller Perle Cotton. It's an easy stitch and can be moved around. http://www.threadcreativestudios.com/ has a lot of interesting things on it and free instructions for lots of projects. Each month on the 16th a Technique of the Month is posted. Everyone who posts a photo in the forum has their name put in a pot and one is drawn for a prize. I won and look at what I received!Vicki's fabrics are so special and the card is lovely-giving me lots of ideas. http://www.vickiwelsh.com/
I also received button, threads, and a book by Sueb  http://www.suebleiweiss.com/  I write down what I do each day, and the book will be perfect for next year. If I don't write it down, I tend to think I've accomplished something when I haven't. Seeing it written makes me work harder.

Thank you Three Creative Studios.
