I tucked three more finishes under my stitching belt over the last couple weeks.
I know I said I was done doing Valentine stitching but couldn't resist this one after I saw the letters in an antique sampler.

Stitched on an 18ct. evenweave using DMC 4210 in floss and #5 Pearle Cotton. Backed & bordered with a burgundy cotton fabric.
I finally finished off another piece I stitched last year.
For St. Patrick's Day.
I just had to do something for this holiday since my heritage is Irish from my daddy's side.

Finished as a heart ornament using DMC #5 Pearle Cotton in 500, 503 & 504 for the twisted cording trim and the hanger. Backed with White felt.
One more heart finish (I think I'm into heart shapes right now) for St. Patrick's Day.

Modified to be a bit different from the Valentine's Day heart in my last post.
