Sheep Bookmark

I adapted this bookmark from a potholder pattern.

I used thread instead of yarn and a steel hook.

The pattern is from Crochet World, July/August 1991.

The designer's name is Barbara Roy.

Virtue Baskets

This is from Cross Country Stitching Folk Art ABC's 2007.

I stitched this using my floor frame for the first time.

I have to admit the floor frame did make the stitching faster since you can use 2 hands. Although I did take it out of the frame for the detailing.

Grand Abecedarie SAL

Although I didn't officially sign up for SAL....I did enjoy stitching it.
