xs Xmas Cards again


I am working on a pink stocking designed by Sue Hillis.  In the middle is a truck from Pinker n Punkin's blog and the boy pulling a sled is another Ellen Maurer-Stroh from her advent calendar.  

I have been busy making orange cookies that my grandma used to make when I was a little girl.  The recipe is in the right margin at the very top - the most popular post on my blog.   I hope you click on the picture for the post and decide to make some.

Have a great weekend of stitching ♥

2 more Xmas Card WIPS

The first chart  of the manger is a modification of a Pinker n Punkin free chart that is part of her Prim series - it can be downloaded here .  I like the original much more than this modification but I needed something square for the particular card blank I am going to put this in.

The cat with Christmas balls was something that I must have downloaded years ago but unfortunately, I did not save information as far as designer or where I found it.

So now there are two more finished stitches that will be for Christmas Cards.  I have started thinking maybe I should try to make ornaments that will fit in the Christmas Card blanks.  I will puzzle over that while I pick out some more charts to stitch.

I hope you have time to do some stitching over the weekend

XS Wips

I have been doing some stitching so I should share some pictures. 

The first picture is my progress on The Victoria Sampler Christmas Treasures Collection.  A few of the charts have been substituted from other sites but I think I will finish stitching those pieces from the collection because the substituted pieces don't really seem to go with the others from Victoria Sampler as far the style

This next photo has the two charts I have stitched for Christmas Cards. The angel facing to the right is a chart by Lesley Teare which can be found on her blog.  She has a sampler of Christmas charts for 2021.  The duck pull toy is a part of a chart from an advent calendar designed by Ellen Maurer-Stroh.  I am not sure where you could find her advent calendar - I downloaded it years ago when she offered it for free.

Have a great week of stitching

Help me find this chart


EDIT:  wow! it has already been found.  It's called Mom's Best and is in the August 1993 issue of Cross Country Stitching.  I found the magazine at an Etsy shop and I have already ordered it.  I couldn't be more grateful ♥

Mom's Best Homemade Pies.

 I found this picture of a cross stitched piece on line.  I have been searching for it in so many places and now I have lost the place where I first saw it.  It does show up on pinterest occasionally but it does not list the information that would help me google it.

It may have published in a magazine for all I know.

Does anyone know anything about this design - designer or publication?

If anyone has this design for sale I am most eager to stitch this so send me your price.

Thank you for any help you can give me
