An online group had a swap and the theme was Leanne's House............I had to make for Lizzie and this is what I sent to Lizzie......I know she likes reproduction fabrics so i used that in the border............
......I have had this stitchery in a folder from a magazine for quite awhile...........think it was originally in Country Threads and finally have got to stitch it.........I pulled it over an art canvas and loved making
it..........thanks Lizzie for sending me a photo of what I sent because I forgot to take one before posting.....
This also makes it as a finish for OPAM for March..........will email Peg and Kris to let them know now........
A gorgeous rainy day here.........just over 1.5 inchs of rain so far.............
Catch you later

Lovely stitchery Chooky... must try using a canvas for some of mine in the future!
Very nice. Love the idea of it on canvas. How's things this week?
Wonderful... love the idea... you all have sent so many gorgeous things to each other... :o)
Looks gorgeous! Glad you have rain, but ? the wrong day????? Have a fun filled Easter!
So pretty. Don't you love when you finally use a pattern that you've wanted to for a long time. I've got lots like that. So many good intentions, so little time. That's funny I was just wondering aloud to my daughter yesterday if I could use artist canvas for such a thing. Hmmm, now I really need to try it.
Gorgeous! Lovely colours!
Beautiful work there Chookyblue, I love the border fabric too. xo
Simply beautiful! toni xxx
This is gorgeous! Love the idea of stretching it over a canvas.
A lovely stitchery! The fabric border works well witht he piece. Thanks for sharing! Cheers
The stitchery looks great. Nice for you to have a little rain.
So is it an Australian thing to be so talented in the needlework department? That is beautiful Donna!
All the best stitchery stuff seems to come from over there!
Was a pretty successful swap - lovely Chooky.
Lovely your stitchery!
