I started this piece sometime last year when my Mom was hospitalized and it got put away before I actually finished it. Since I have way too many WIPs I decided I should finish a few up this year. This is number one. It is a Waxing Moon design called, what else, Stitching Mends the Soul. I used a combo of DMC and Weeks Dye works and stitched it on blue marbled DMC 14 aida. It's finished size fits an 8X10 frame or mat.
Now I have a question for all of you who read my blog and anyone else who may stumble upon it. Would you like to stitch this up for yourself? Do a little soul mending of your own? If you would like to then please leave me a comment to this posting with your blog link and/OR your email address and on February 12th I will draw a name and pass this chart on to you. All I ask is that you pass it on to someone else when you are finished. There are days when we all need a little soul mending.
And here is the piece framed and ready to hang on my wall. Another thing I am going to try and do is actually Finish my stitched pieces instead of adding them to the under-the-bed storage bin. :) One day I'll count what's in there. I just know that there are too many.
Until next time.........
Love and stitches

This is such a perfect piece. It says it all. Great job on finishing it.
I would love to stitch this and would definitely pass it along to another for stitching. What a wonderful thing you are offering.
Love it Kathy and you did a great job on it. I would love to be added to the list of those who would like to stitch it. I think you already have my address and link to my blog.
Love it & the framing is perfect!
Please add me to the list!
This is so true and a beautiful reminder of what we do. I would love to be added to the list to get this pattern. I would most definitely pass it on when done.

This chart is on my wish list so of course I would love to win it, then pass it on. Like you, I am trying to finish up some of my WIPs and have put myself on a stash diet this year. Thanks for the opportunity.
Beautiful finish and lovely framing. I dont want to be entered for the draw as it is not something I would stitch but had to leave a comment on your lovely completion.
Really lovely and the framing IS perfect. Patti xxx
Yes, yes! I would love to stitch it - and then pass it along like you do. So please enter me in the drawing!

What a cute finish, Kathy. I've not seen that chart before. Heck yeah... Include me in the drawing. It looks like a quick stitch.
thank you Kathy for your sweet comments about my pillow that I submitted for the sewing contest. I am keeping my fingers crossed but who knows what they look for when judging...thanks again,

This one says exactly what I feel, especailly after a long, hard day at the office. It relaxes me just thinking about stitching.
Very beautiful, I just love it. I would definately love to stitch this as a gift or a purchase.
Thank you
Great finish and nice idea to finish up some of those WIP you have sitting around. It's a nice saying, but I would never get around to stitching it, send it on to a deserving home......
Great piece and finishing. I would love to be included in your drawing.
Love the finish you stitched, and yes, I would love to stitch this desing. Plaese enter me

Its lovely Kathy and you did a very good job on it! xx
This is my first visit to your blog but I'm right there with you when it comes to finishing a few WIPs off!
I'd love the change to stitch this for my home
Hi Kathy...what a great design! I have never seen it before but would love to have a chance to stitch it. Please add me to your entries and I will surely pass it forward when done.
Thanks for the chance!
a lovely sentiment, and it looks great in its frame. (and I wouldn't mind being added to the drawing, lol).

I love this liitle Design.
Kathy,I went on your blog after reading your comment. Thank you for your kind words. I was most surprised reading your last post. If you read my new post you will understand why. We certainly have the same line of thinking here.

This is beautiful - and finished so well Kathy. Though I love the chart, I won't enter the draw thank you, as my timetable is so tight, and I really am 'too busy to stitch' at the moment unfortunately.
Kathy, if you ever want to stitch the little bulldog, just give me a shout. Just for the fun of it add me to the draw. Maybe I need some more soul mending. I do love her dress and I never win anything but you just never know. : )) I agree, this one must be passed around for others to heal.
