I choose to make a nice flower basket.
I wanted to make a pincushion but it became bigger then I thought. (I'm not an experienced cross- stitcher ;-). After finishingit I aged it with coffee dye I left it open and send it to my friend Kathie and let her choose to fill it with lavender or to make a pincushion of it.Lucy

It's lovely! Beautiful stitches!
That came out gorgeous! I love collecting vintage reference and pattern texts, too. I love your post; the pictures are wonderful. Karmen
What a pretty little piece that is! Lucky (and very deserving) Kathie!
That's a beautiful cross-stitch. I love how you aged it too!
It's really beautiful! I have used tea dye, but never coffee -- great idea!
Oh it is so beautiful Lucy. I am making a similar one from a Stacy Nash design. Lucky Kathie! You are always an inspiration Lucy, all the very best!
So very pretty Lucy! A delightful gift.
What a treasure this is - both the book and the embroidery - just beautiful! :-)
What a loverly gift. I think the coffee dye was a wonderful choice. I would have made it into a lavendar sachet because I would hate to stick pins in your wonderful work!
Gorgeous, you chose such lovely colours for your pincushion:) have this book myself, I must be more creative too when seeing this:))
This is such a lovely cross stitch. I have never thought of aging a piece with coffe but am excited to try it out. Great blog - I am in awe of your quilts.
