A Little Patriotic and A Little Pixie :)

First off, I wanted to show you 

the apron I just finished for my sweet friend Amy.

She needed an apron to wear for

her neighborhood 4th of July festivities.

I used this fabulous fabric by Robert Kaufman

in red, white, and navy blue.

(love love love this fabric!)

I used the Pretty Ditty Apron pattern

by Jamie Christina.

I also finished up my Spring Pixie by Bent Creek.

I stitched it on 28ct Summer Sky hand-dyed Jobelan 

over 1 thread.

I pretty much changed all the thread colors

to suit my home

and finished it as a little pillow

using some fun fabric from Sweetwater

that was given to me by my dear friend Regena

and some large red rick rack :)

Instead of using the Mill Hill beads suggested

on the chart,

I chose to use metallic gold thread

and add some stars instead.

I love my little Spring Pixie.

Now I have to decide which Pixie to stitch next.

I have Summer, Fall and Winter to go!
