Never Far Apart by Blackbird Designs

July 2, 2016 By patgeary

I really never thought I would like to stitch any of the stockings series but I am finding out I was wrong. I had seen pictures posted of Never Far Apart with was issued as a Limited Edition and decided I would like to stitch this one. Unfortunately, this one was OOP as are many of the ones I have fallen in love with. Another generous stitcher loaned it to me.

Never Far Apart by Blackbird Designs.

This limited edition tin from Blackbird Designs includes everything needed to make this adorable 4 x 8 mini-stocking celebrating friendship. It is stitched on 32ct hand-dyed linen with Gentle Art’s Chives, Old Brick, Woodrose, Endive, Apple Cider, Brandy and Raspberry Parfait.  The sampler design features two houses connected with a friendship pathway. This is a complete LIMITED EDITION kit which includes the chart, linen, stocking lining fabric and hand-dyed flosses. Comes packed in a little round tin.

I am stitching the little stocking on 16 cream Aida with the recommended threads. Started June 30, 2016.

Now to decide if I want to attempt finishing it myself or send it off to someone who knows what they are doing.

And the little stocking has been finished. Thank you Joy of Finely Finished for the nice job.

    What a lovely start you have made, Pat! I really like this stocking. Maybe they will re-release it down the road for the rest of us. Enjoy your weekend!

    I love this one too. I am glad that you posted about it; I will get mine out and work on finishing the stitching. Everything BB does is so pretty. Happy 4th and happy stitching!!
