A Valentine's Finish & MLQ Update

Not sure why but I have a Valentine's finish that was completed awhile ago and I never posted it here. The design is called "True Love" by The Samplerbird and Robin offered it as a freebie on her blog last February.  I stitched it on 32ct white opalescent fabric and the DMC floss called for in the design. I also stitched a fob using the smaller design but I haven't finished it off yet.
I finished it using a heart shaped silicone baking cup. It was a bit tricky trying to get the fabric heart shaped when putting it into the cup, so I did the best I could. It was really a fun design to stitch! Thank You Robin!


As promised here is my progress on MLQ. I worked on it a lot yesterday so I now have the whole first row of alphabet done. I saw a picture of someone's finish awhile ago and noticed she stitched her initials in a different color than the rest of the alphabet. So I decided to do that too. I may frog out the letter "B" and do that in a different color as that isn't one of my initials and I chose that color as the one to do my initials in....I don't know . What do you think??


It is suppose to rain later today and tomorrow. Sounds like stitching days to me! I do have a Butterfly Club meeting on Sunday so no stitching that day. Maybe at night though watching "Once Upon A Time".

Thanks so much for all of your wonderful comments and for stopping by!
Have a great weekend everyone!

Thank you so much Lisa! I'm curious to see the little freebie when it will be finished :)))
(I like so much these two works! My favourite is the second one! *.*)
Hugs ;)

Love how you finished True Love...how creative to use a baking cup!

You are making great progress on your quaker. The colors are lovely, very warm and soothing. It's kind of hard to decide about the B at this point but I think you may be right about frogging it and using that color just for your initials. It would make them stand out. It sure looks like a fun stitch!

What a sweet little finish Lisa. Love the idea of using a baking cup.

Your Quaker is coming along really well :)

OMG, I love that cupid! I went straight over there and printed that chart out for myself. It's so cute! I love your quaker too. Hugs!
