My first finish for 2010 has come slowly but here it finally is.
I've enjoyed stitching Summer Iris. The thread colours went well with the fabric and with the personalising of the year and my initial, I'm pleased with the end result. There's no graph if you want to change these two features from what's on the original design so I've had to create my own 'J' and work out which way I wanted to do the '1' in 2010. It took me about five attempts for each before I was happy with them.
One day I'll complete this little piece and turn it into a pincushion or the like.
DESIGNER ~ Blackbird Designs
PATTERN ~ Summer Iris
FABRIC ~ 30ct WDW Baby's Breath
THREADS ~ WDW Dove, Fawn, Cappuccino, & Rum Raisin - GA Grecian Gold (2 over 2)

I'd like to try to do the wool strawberry for which instructions also come with this pattern, one day.
In the meantime I will show you some more pictures of my stitched Summer Iris.
Thank you for taking the time to look and comment.

Summer Iris looks lovely Jane and your photos are amazing as usual. I love the additon of the different fonts too - just adds that something extra. I will have to work on that.

Congratulations on your finish, Jane! It's beautiful, and as always, your pictures are stunning!
I highly recommend a great book - "Sampler Company's Book of Alphabets, Motifs and Borders" by Brenda Keyes - it's my go-to source for alphabets and numbers when I want to modify a chart.
perfect finish, Jane:) and the buttons - fantastique!!!
Jane, what a lovely first finish of 2010! You have outdone yourself with the photos. I love the way you've used the buttons (love those too!) to complement the stitching - very nice!
I have that Brenda Keyes book that Susan mentioned as well and can recommend it though it may be harder to find as I think it's oop. I think it's still available from re-sellers.
Email will follow later! Hope you are enjoying Sunday!
