I was really nervous when Mark drew my name to send to Cathy in the SBEBB Garden exchange as Cathy's work is so exquisite. so I thought about what I would like to stitch for her. I chose to stitch Homespun Elegance 'Plant Kindness' its such a lovely wee design and I love doing hearts.
It has a variety of other stitches on it so its a fun one to stitch.
I used DMC thread and syitched it on some lovely 32ct evenweave I received from my friend Jayne, she hand dyes the fabric herself and this is such a soft natural colour.
I was pleased to hear today that Cathy loved it and the wee glass snail I sent along with it, the one in the picture is my glass snail - Cathy's is a different colour.

Oh wow, Su, this cute little heart is just so perfect. How do you finish hearts off so well? I am put off trying one because I'm scared I won't be able to finish it well.
