A Few New Finishes

 This Chimpanzee was stitched for Love Quilts USA for a little girl, Hart L.  Her quilt will be made up of chips, monkeys,  and apes. 
 Our group, World of Charity Stitching, is making an Elvis themed quilt and this is my contribution.  I made the chart using PCStitch.  It didn't come out like I would have liked, but I think it will be okay.

                                                         We have a birdhouse/birds theme also at WOCS.  I enjoyed stitching this colorful piece.

Just Stitching



















I finished this last night for our group, World of Charity Stitching.  It will be given to a senior citizen during the upcoming holiday season.  Our group is making lots of cards for the seniors, so they won't be forgotten, as they sometimes are after they are placed in a care facility.  We hope to be able to brighten their days.



This was a free chart I downloaded from About.com.  It was a little bit challenging, as I don't usually stitch lines and words only.  I think it turned out nicely and I'll make it into a tote or wheelchair bag.

Howling at the Moon

Just finished this piece last night for World of Charity Stitching.   It is for a quilt for a senior.  The theme for this quilt is realistic Forest Animals.  When it is completed, I know a senior gentleman will love having this quilt to warm him on cold winter nights.
