Winter Scene Series

Designs are from an old magazine, I stitched “In the Valley” and “By the Pond” in 2001. I stitched “On the Farm” in 2004. Since I finished this last part 3 years after the first 2 parts, my framer wasn’t able to find the same frame as the first 2 parts. In the Valley, 2001By the Pond, 2001

On the Farm, 2004

Knitting Scarves

My friend, who is also a member from my church choir, used to own a store that sold wool and DMC flosses, and just recently she gave me some craft supplies that she now longer had use for. I was given many yarns of wool for knitting and approximately 1,500 DMC flosses. I started knitting last week and so far, I've knitted six scarves and one hat. I knitted a blue scarf for my daughter, a dark blue scarf and hat for my son, and a pink scarf for my friend. I am planning to knit another scarf for my friend soon.

Four Seasons

I stitched two sets of four season series in 2004. I don’t remember the designer because I gave the pattern away.

First sets: Winter Oval, Spring Oval, Summer Oval and Autumn Oval

Second sets: Spring Rainbow, Summer Bluebirds, Autumn Squirrel and Winter Cardinals

The Lord's Prayer

I stitched two different “The Lord’s Prayer” from different designs.

The first one I stitched was designed by Carol Emmer. I stitched three of these in early ‘90 for three different Reverends in my church.

The second one was designed by Praying Hands Collection. I stitched this in ‘98 for myself, but ended up giving it away to my older brother.

Canadian Rocky Mountains

In September, 2009 I went to the Canadian Rocky Mountains with my brother, sister and her husband. It was my fourth time seeing the Rockies, but it was the first time for my siblings. The weather was nice.We travelled in a tour group with a guide who was so intelligent and knowledgeable of the Rockies. He was a very experienced guide who knew a lot about everything, including all genres of music. He played his music cds on the bus and we enjoyed listening to them.The trip was fabulous but too short.

Key Chains

I made these little key chains for friends as small gifts. I stitched the face, adapted from a freebie, and used felt for the body. I made 19 key chains in May and 15 more in July, for a total of 34.

Blue and White Quilt Blocks

I stitched the first 4 blocks – Log Cabin, Crazy Quilt, Dresden Plate and Lone Star – on Oct 16/2004, designed by Dale Burdett.

Another 4 blocks – Mariner Compass, Broken Star, Bridal Wreath and Trip Around the World – were finished on Oct 30, 2004.

The last four blocks – Spring Time, Flower Garden, Baby Blocks and Double Wedding – were done on Apr 21/2005.

One of my friends in Korea, who does quilts, made these into a wall hanger. I love this quilt. size: 98 cm x 118 cm

Canadian East Coast Trip

Hopewell Rocks, New Brunswick

In the beginning of September I went on a Canadian East Coast trip: New Brunswick, Nova Scotia and Prince Edward Island, with my son, and my sister and her husband who came from Seoul, Korea for their vacation. We drove over 5,000 Km total, in 8 days/ 7 nights. We went to Hopewell Rocks in New Brunswick near Fundy Provincial Park, which is amazing; and Cape Breton in Nova Scotia is such a beautiful land. Prince Edward Island is such a peaceful Island. It was a long drive, but worth the visit.

I have stitched a few different words using this alhabet.

"HOPE" in Nov/2004, "Bless Our Home" in Jan/2005, two sets of "Open" & "Closed" and "Bath"

I stitched two sets of open & closed signs for friends for their business stores. One set was stitched on 14 count aida with backstitch on each letter.(Sep/2005) A second set was done on 18 count aida without backstitch. Personally, I like it without backstitch.(Mar/2008)

The last one I stitched was a "Bath" sign for the bathroom. I made three of these in Mar/2008.

The Last Supper

I stitched three Last Suppers.
They are all different patterns, with different designs.


The third Last Supper I stitched was in 2002, design is from The Leisure Art leaflet #2768, and I gave it to my sister.

The second Last Supper I stitched was Omnibook Collection, designed by Jeanette Crews. I stitched this in 1996 to replace the one I gave my parents, but my younger brother wanted it, so I gave it to him

The first one I stitched was designed from Stoney Creek Collection. I stitched this in 1991 and made orininally for myself, but when my parents visited to Canada from Korea, my father liked it, so I brought it back home next time I visited Korea.

Jesus in the Garden

I stitched this project, designed by Carol Emer, twice.I gave the first one to my parents.

This is the second piece, which I stitched in 2003, with some colour changes, red to green and green to purple.

It turned out Ok. I really enjoyed changing the colours.

I gave this one to my younger sister.

10th Holly Hobbie

I stitched one in brown from the pattern.
I only changed the hair colours, and the skirt to white.
So far I stitched 10 Holly Hobbies in these colours:Red, Orange, Yellow, Green, Blue, Dark Blue, Purple, Pink, Purple (2nd time) and Brown.

9th Holly Hobbie

I stitched another one in purple (2nd time). It was fun to change the colours.

I enjoyed it a lot.

Special Gifts

Three years ago, I received the following beautiful gifts from “Forstitch” friends from Korea. They planned this project in secret about 9months before my 60th birthday, and I received them two months before my big day. 34 people shared their time and love for this special project. It was a dream come true. I was touched and speechless by their warmth and thoughtfulness. Thank you everyone for this lovely and memorable gift.

Quilt blanket and pillow
This lovely Quilt blanket is a surprise gift from stitching friends. Each of the 21 blocks was done by a different cross-stitch friend, and the whole quilt was assembled by a quilt friend.

Needlerolls
These 12 beautiful needlerolls were a special gift for my 60th birthday from 12 friends, who shared all their love and time. I was touched and speechless by their warmth and thoughtfulness.

Card
This card was stitched by Sara for my 60th birthday, and came with the cross-stitch quilt and needlerolls. Thank you for this beautiful card.

Winter in the park

Original artist Diane Ronanello, adapted for cross stitch by Deborah Campbell. I stitched this beautiful winter scene for my daughter in 2002. Background is supposed to be half stitching with 2 strands, but I did full stitching with one strand instead
