This "F" is for 'favourite'. Time to post your favourite piece stitched. But if you are like me ...picking one favourite is absolutely impossible ...I have several.
So .......... post one favourite per day until you run out. I have five picked out ...but I will surely think of another.
Touching the Autumn Sky ...a favourite ...I love the pattern. The fabric I bought with a gift card that my now son-in-law gave me for Christmas ...his first gift to me. And it was the first time I did a pattern over 2 ...and then for the skin I did over 1.

One of my favorites is Nora Corbett's Luce Mia; I had this great orphan fabric that was just perfect for the design, and I had it framed by Rensel Studio:

Simply gorgeous stitching, ladies!
Here is one of my favorites: Rose of Sharon - Mirabilia
Sorry, Aleida. I missed the "F for Favourite" and barrelled along with "F" pieces. But, I guess these are still some of my favourites, maybe not top of the list!

All special. Some beautiful and others cute.
How could that sweet puppy not make one smile each morning.
Fish and chips makes me smile too. Reminds me of the gulls around here begging for food all along the coast.

Here's one of my favorites, and it's an "F" too - Flower Power by Crossed Wing Collections
After 16 months of stitching and expensive framing this is definitely one of my favourites.

Another favourite
I got this pattern from Tazzy in a Christmas wish list post.
I stitched and donated it to my Legion ...it did never get hung up. We now have the basement (club room) totally renovated. I will admit ...I will be upset if it is not finally hung up.

The Monopoly board is not yet framed ...but it will be. It is for Tiffany and Stephen who play Monopoly. They are still in an apartment ...really no room to hang it ...so I am not much motivated to move on that framing. Their plan is to play on it. Darn COVID raised house pricing to out-of-reach for young couples. They're saving ...so it is coming.

A bell pull ...that I stitched but never finished. I think I am afraid I will mess it up and so I never try.
I got the pattern from my sister ...and she said she got it from Mom. It doesn't make a lot of sense that since Maggie doesn't cross stitch. Anyways it ended up with me ...and I did enjoy doing it ...from Mom and very Dutch

This was the kit. As I said it came from my mother ...so it's old ...and most likely bought in Holland.
I suspect you will not find it ...but who knows. After a bit of an effort ...reach out to me. I know I won't stitch it again ...and I am willing to give what remains of the kit to you.

Thank you, Aleida. Great minds think alike! I love stitching scenery & houses. Stitched Dimensions kits before I discovered LNSs, did only one project at a time, traveled for work and stitched them everywhere: hotel rooms, poolside on weekends, in airports, planes, trains, etc. And, I have so many more kits in my stash and the Monopoly Board chart, but also no longer have the ambition to start any new ones.

This is one of my favourites that I have stitched. Just B5200 on a gorgeous overdyed opalescent fabric. I fell in love with the fabric and bought it having absolutely no idea what I would do with it, until I came across that pattern a couple years later. Pattern is Alessandra Adelaide.

Not sure what to tell you Gabbycat - I have been using postimages for posting my stitching online for years (as in, more than a decade) and never had an issue, and when I click on the photo, it takes me directly to my original upload in postimages. I am unable to replicate your issue. Cannot suggest to you any reason why that might happen or how you could fix it.

Hyacinth ~ don't worry about it. I clicked on it a few more times and I got ads for various things: Dementia, Collagen, Baldness Cures etc.
So I think it's just an ad window.

Good morning
That butterfly is wonderful.
I have many more that I think are wonderful ...but I wouldn't exactly put them under 'favourite'
But one more ...a favourite for a different reason. This is the first piece I ever did. My mom taught me. It took me forever to finish ...because ...she told me it would look better if I did the background. So the picture I did in a timely fashion and some backgrountd...boring ...so I would set it aside. Pick it up ...could be more than a year later ...do some more ...get bored and set it aside again. Repeat multiple times. I finally did bite the bullet and finish it.
