Are you currently working on or have you finished one of our patterns?
If so, we would love to see photos of it and display them proudly here!
Stallion
Completed by Lisa M.

I bought this pattern because I
love Arabian horses, but I have to
say, the final product is so much
prettier than virtual stitches or
photos can even show.
Pisces
Completed by Tosha S.

Bought this to make for my
mom and it turned out
beautiful!
Study in Dappled Gray
Completed by Emily (Cottage Crafts).

This is a pic of the tote bag I make of a Study in
Dappled Gray. It is already sold. I was at a trade
show this past weekend and had just finished the
tote bag and it was the first item sold!
Gargoyle Guardian
Completed by Joyce S.

The picture doesn't do it justice with all the
colors. The pattern was so enjoyable.
Most of the pieces I've done in the past,
the patterns are so complex it's more
stress than relaxation. I love your patterns
because when I'm finished I don't have to
go back and do a lot of backstitching.
Fairy of Peace
In progress and completed by Joyce S.

This pattern was completed on 12 count needlepoint fabric with 6 threads. She's the most beautiful piece I've ever done. This
pattern is so relaxing I have trouble putting it down.

Great job Joyce, the finished piece is beautiful!!!!
Brown Bear Swimming
Completed by Val S.

I think he is a beautiful boy. The picture looks lovely on my wall
and gives great pleasure. Your charts are a real joy to do, as the
end product is so delightful!
Timber Mallards
Completed by Desiree H

I finally finished the Ducks and the picture
really doesn't do it justice, it turned out so
beautiful.  It took me one year and one month
to complete, but well worth it.   Thank you for
your wonderful site, I love it.
(Left to Right) Summer Love, Around the Corner, and Rose Maiden
Completed by Lyn G.

Hi Dawn,

Last year I purchased several of your patterns that tickled my fancy.  I thought you might be interested in seeing how they turned out.

"Around the Corner" won first in class as well as best in show at my local county fair last summer.  
I'll be submitting "Rose Maiden" and "Summer Love" this coming summer.

Hope you enjoy them!
Mexican Grey Wolf
Completed by my own Mother, Linda W

This is THE most talked about piece hanging in her
living room, of all of the cross stitch projects that
she has completed in 20+ years.

Thanks a million Mom, I love you!
On the Edge
Completed by: Janice W.
A memento of her deceased cat, Bailey.
Moonlit Bay
Being completed by Linda in Canada:
It is a long way from done, but I think it will look awesome!

Keep up the great work Linda!
Stealing the Scraps
Another completed by: Val S

She always does a WONDERFUL job!
Thank you for sending and keep them coming...
Otter Nonsense
Another piece beautifully completed by Desiree H

Now that all my family members have seen how beautiful these have turned
out, they are requesting I do one for them, I have a large family so it looks
like I'm going to be sewing for many years to come.
Red Moon Fairy
Another piece completed by Joyce S.

She does such a beautiful job on all of her work!
(Left to Right) Stirring Thoughts, Blue Bandits (no longer available), and Aphrodite
Another year of finishes by Lyn G

Thank you so much for sending me more pics of the great work that you are doing with my patterns!
Keep up the awesome stitching Lyn! I can't wait to see more!
Wind Goddess
Another great finish by my Mother, Linda W!
She is currently working on the rest of the elements, more specifically "Fire Goddess", which will be posted soon.
Snow Leopard Face
Completed by Sheila

I purchased a bunch of your patterns last year and started
working on Snow Leopard Face by David Stribbling at the
beginning of this year.  It took me about 6 months to finish and I
just picked it up from the framers today.  I am so impressed with
your designs and love, love, love the way this one turned out.  
Anyways, just had to share the finished piece with you and let
you know how much I enjoyed stitching it.

Great job Sheila, the matting and framing fit this finished
project perfect!!
King of the Valley
Completed by Heather L of Wyoming

Beautifully done!
Checking His Backtrail
Completed by Desiree H

You always do a great job Desiree! Glad to hear that you husband likes this
one! I hope he likes the others too.
Sacred Bond WIP
Being completed by Joanne D

I love this piece and as soon as I got the pattern from you, I dropped
every thing else. I can hardly wait to finish (which will be a long time) and
hang it over the fireplace with my Indian pots
Song of the Sun
Another wonderful piece completed by
Desiree H

I did this one for my niece, she picked it out and is
absolutely thrilled with it.  Thanks for your wonderful site!
Rainbow Trout
Completed by Howard D

This morning is a wonderful morning as I have completed the Rainbow Trout
Pattern.  The unusual part is I am a 50 Year Old Man that has been cross stitching
most of my life and significantly while in the U.S. Navy while serving overseas.  I am
always looking for what I call "Man Patterns" and am so glad that I found your site
with all the wonderful patterns.  Thank you!
White Feather
Completed by Jann C

I am sending you a picture I made. I took it to be framed and they ask if they
could keep it for awhile so they could just look at it. I think it looks like a
painting. I love your patterns!
Ruffian
Completed by Chris P

Hi, Dawn, Jamie from White Willow Stitching asked me to send you this picture of Ruffian that I
stitched from your pattern. As you can see, it did pretty well at the 2008 Michigan State Fair!  It
looks like a photograph in real life-- my daughter was very happy to get it.

Side note... For those of you that don't know, Jamie and I are great friends while still being
competitors. We do work together on a lot of things including a website she designed with some
of my patterns included.

While mostly nudes and rudes, it has a lot of great cross stitch patterns. Please check it out at

The Challenger
Completed by Lisa from WY

Great job Lisa! I hope to see more coming from you.
Julia

Hi, this was a lot of fun to make and looks wonderful. It is
getting combined with a batch of other projects done by my
family to make a quilt.

Thank you,
Amber
This took me a little over a month and a half to do and I love the end product.

Now to get started on the other and bigger redtail I purchased from you.

Lori
from WI

Thank you Lori, you did a wonderful job. And thank you bunches for adding the image page
beside it, so that others can see that the stitched product looks identical to the image page.
I just finished this, took a year but he looks amazing!!  Will be entering in the fair again this year.

Lisa
Wheatland, Wyoming

Lisa,
Can't wait to see your next finish from our line of patterns. :)

This is the framed Rainbow with the Choice award from the Fremont
County Fair.

Absolutely Stunning! So proud that you won that ribbon. Let's try for the
next one you finish.
Autumn Brook Trout

Another finished and framed piece by Howard D.

I loved doing this pattern and seeing everything come to life.
Ocean Dream
Started and finished by Carole T

Thank you for such a lovely chart, I have loved stitching all the sunset colours and can't wait for it to be framed and up on my wall. I stitched it as a reminder of
my beach sunset wedding last year.

It is stitched on 22 count 1 over 1 and it took 4 months to complete.

I have had some amazing comments on Facebook as each of the progress photos have been uploaded.

I have a few more of  your charts in my stash waiting to be stitched and look forward to sending you those as they are completed. (and a few more I still want to
be added to my ever increasing pile!)

One very happy stitcher!!
Earth Goddess
