I was invited to join the XStitch the Rainbow team and design a piece using the Night Garden palette. Each designer was assigned the same ThreadworX colors and a maximum size piece to design. And this is what I designed!
Pattern is stitched on 40 ct Wheat from Fiber on a Whim using Threadworx threads. Stitch count is 59 x 60. Finished size is 2.95" x 3".
Note from the designer: Since I'm now a resident of Baltimore County, Maryland, it felt totally appropriate that I design a Baltimore Album Quilt Sampler. This was such a fun piece to design! It took lots of research and the more I researched the more I loved the entire concept!
I honestly wasn't planning to do another tombstone angel design, but when I saw an image of an early tombstone with the phrase "Nip't in the Bud" on it, I knew I had do another. It truly touches my heart.
