Willing Hands by Blackbird Designs

April 22, 2020 By patgeary

Willing Hands was first offered as a retreat project at  The Attic in Nov 2019. It is now included in the new book Sewing Club released at the Nashville 2020 Market.

Barb and Alma sent me the kit along with some 18ct Heartland aida for Christmas since they knew I did not stitch on linen. I did use all of the recommended floss to stitch this one.

It proved to be a quick stitch. I started stitching on April 7, 2020 and completed stitching on April 20, 2020.

The brown box used for the finishing of this design is available from TeresasPrimTreasures and comes in eight different colors. I ordered the one called Tinderbox Brown as that was the one used in the model stitched.

Thank You Barb and Alma for another beautiful design.

    This is gorgeous. At some point I intend to work my way through the entire book of designs. x

    Beautiful! Aida is highly under rated…it’s so easy to stitch on, and I’ve noticed some great antique colors available recently!
