As you know finishing isn;t really my strong point but I have started to get the hang of it and I have found my last few finishes not too stressful. Sorry this little pillow is the one that I can;t find the link to the freebie chart from. I am still hopeful someone out there will recognise it. (Thanks to Mylene we now have the link to this design and some lovely other ones at http://ancsanaplo.blogspot.com/search/label/free%20chart)
This was the first freebie design that I stitched this month. The chart is from The Sampler Girl. I loved how the design fitted perfectly on a nice piece of banding.
This freebie can be found at http://cargaudlabrico.canalblog.com/archives/2009/01/index.html . The chart suggests that you stitch the whole piece with the one colour of thread but I wanted to define the birds. I think it turned out okay.
Two of my mindess cancelled today so I only had one child I had to drop off at school so I now have a free afternoon. I really need to go catch up with some emails and then get off here and stitch but I start browsing blogs and all those great overseas online stitchy shops looking at all that great stash that I so want to have. I just need to find an extra job to pay for it all...lol. Hugs!

I love the birds and think they look great in a different colour.
Your pieces turned out great, I love the birds being a different color so that they stand out a little.
They are all lovely Elaine!
Great finishing . The stitching on all of those little freebies is fantastic :)
I think all of your finishes are lovely--the more you do the easier they get, believe me!

Hope it works.
Lovely stitching. Your finishing is great. Just keep on with it. It'll get easier~
Lovely job of the stitching AND finishing!! I hate the finishing, and am no good at it. I'd pay to get things finished if I could only afford it, lol!
Very cute finishes and thank you for the freebie links!
