Some time ago I purchased the book, Thank You Sarah Tobias by Blackbird Designs. The book contains seven stitching projects based on Pennsylvania Dutch motifs from a sampler stitched by Sarah.

The project from this book I most wanted to stitch was Flowers for Sarah Needcase. I knew that I did not want to finish it as a needlecase but loved the sampler itself.

The called for fabric for this project was 30ct Espresso by R & R Reproductions but I chose to use 16ct Legacy Aida by Picture This Plus. I did use the recommended threads, Crescent Colors – Tennessee Red Clay, Poblano Pepper, Little Brown House, and Joshua Tree.

I have a couple of narrow spaces on our house so I think I will probably finish this as a bellpull.

So pretty!! Blackbird always uses such beautiful colors and gorgeous designs. Can’t wait to see it finished into a bell pull. Happy stitching……….
What a lovely finish you created with your needle and thread, Pat! I like how the threads pop against your chosen fabric.
