Summer Iris

Parmi tous les petits cadeaux que j'avais reçus en gagnant la giveaway de Bruna il y a quelques semaines...il y avait le diagramme Summer Iris par Blackbird designs.
Bruna en avait proposé plusieurs différents que le gagnant devait choisir et moi j'avais craqué pour celui là =)


J'avais promis de la faire assez vite, pour pouvoir partager cette grille avec quelqu’un d'autre dans les meilleurs délais et c'est chose faite =)
J'ai récidivé sur du lin (je suis accro oui =D) , avec les couleurs préconisées et voilà le résultat


Tout simple mais tout beau ... même si le bleu n'est pas ma couleur....j'aime beaucoup.
Je vous avais dit, le prochain finish serait un coussin ... qui a d'ailleurs parfaitement trouvé sa place dans notre hall d'entrée  =D
Summer Iris va bientôt quitter la France donc, mais on ne sait pas encore vers quelle destination ...
Je ferai un tirage au sort le 9 septembre, jour de l'anniversaire de mon petit Papa =D
Bon weekend et à très vite

Among all the gifts I received from Bruna some weeks ago, lucky winner of her giveaway I was... there was a chart from Blackbird Designs , Summer Iris.
Blue is not my colour, but I totally felt in love with this design when Bruna showed it on her blog. I first thought I would change the colours but no =)
I used the recommended threads and stitched it on linen. (yes, I'm addicted...)
I find the result very beautiful & sweet, and this is my first Blackbird =D
You saw I finished it as a pillow , which found its (perfect) place in hour entry hall 
Perfect matching fabric again that I had in my stash.
Believe me, I don't have loads of fabrics, hehehe =D



I'm in love with this little piece !
I really spoil myself this year...
But I can't keep such a beautiful chart for me alone. As I promised when I received it, I would like to share it with one of you.
So if you want to stitch Summer Iris too, just let me know in your comment below and I'll make a draw on September the 9th...it's Dad's birthday =D
I hope I'll have time to share something else with you before that day...
Have a great weekend

      I love linen, really, it's very easy (when you have the right one maybe...I must admit I had once a linen on which it was impossible to stitch !)

    I really like the way you disposed everything in this cute pillow. I like the detail of the button (my favorite color) I like the fabric, the ribbon (I really don't know the name in english). Specially the pattern stitched on linen.

    You are perfect!

    Wow, another amazing finish :)
    Perfect fabric for this pillow and design. You say you don't have a lot of fabric, but I think that what you do have is perfect for everything you do :)
    It's funny how we say we don't like particular designs.. And then we stitch them... And they are perfect :)
    I must admit that I have been stitching on linen lately and I am now really loving it... Will try and do a lot more on linen I think - it does make for a gorgeous finish.
    Big hugs xx
