This month's picture walk of our finishes. Some may be from our December meeting.
On the left I believe is an adaptation of the book of stitches by Jeannette Douglas.
This looks like a Drawn Thread pattern.
I am not sure about all three pieces but I believe the center one is a Cherished Stitches piece by Caryl C.
Part of the Beatles series from Blackbird Designs, stitched by Caryl C.
A finish of a Christmas in July project.
A Mill Hill but Karolin R. (?)
Pat Y. found this old, sweet cross stitched piece.
Since this is a new endeavor for Lamplighter's, we are still working out the kinks with this blog. Please let me know at the next week of any corrections. Also, if I have shared a picture of your finished work, it would be nice if you shared the name of your pattern so I can post that information.
