A Teeny Tiny Needlework Finish

I had to share this teeny tiny finish with you! Last weekend when teaching at the Heart's Desire Cross Stitch Camp, I was actually awarded a door prize....which was so much fun. After opening my package, I knew I would have to start stitching it right away...and with it being a smaller project, I knew it was something I could finish (for a change). I was the recipient of Milady's Needle "Milady's Quaker Pendants II"...which happened to be in kit form - including the pendant piece, the linen (36-count Luna from Lakeside Linens) and silk floss (VCS Oxblood)...it actually included the charting, fabric, and floss for four different pendants. I changed mine up a bit from the model, which was stitched with a light blue silk floss. The design is stitched one-over-one on 36-count linen and measures 1 1/8" x 1 1/8"...I told you, it was TINY. I actually started it while I was at the retreat and worked on it during the car ride home...then finished it up this week....and yes, I did complete Cross Stitches (not Tent Stitches). The finishing instructions tell you to use designer scrapbook paper for the back, but I used a little picture of a bird that makes me happy (the artwork is done by Becky Kelly - I just adore her illustrations and artwork!). It was a quick stitch and so much fun....in fact, I have chosen another one to stitch as a birthday gift...
