These three smalls were made from Karen Kluba's lovely design, And A Forest Grew. They appear in her book along with the finishing instructions. I started working on the large sampler itself and just finished about a full page - update soon!
This small is one of my favorites, since the little bird on the tree is so sweet!
The owl in the tree is an appealing motif which I made into a pin pillow.
The needlebook was fun to make and I just finished stitching that motif on the large sampler!
Although trained and working as a lawyer, my passion is as a contemporary needlework teacher, finisher, and owner of Cici Case Designs and Miss Cici’s Finishing School located in Northeast Indiana.
My needlework classes emphasize the use of multiple fibers, textures, color and depth as created through the many stitch combinations found in today’s needlework designs (counted cross stitch, specialty stitches, hardanger, drawn thread, and others). Bringing the completed design to life, striving for perfection as created through stitching, and innovative finishing techniques are my trademarks. The hallmark of my work is the construction of the finished product as demonstrated through Miss Cici’s Finishing School.
In addition to classes at stitching shops, I have taught embroidery and finishing at EGA and ANG guild events, Hoosier Stitchers’ events, and internet forums throughout the area.
I measure my success through the achievements of my students, from the beginner to the advanced, as they seek to improve and enhance their needlework and finishing skills.

I luv them!!! Were these done with floss? Inquiring minds ...
Yes - the entire larger chart - And A Forest Grew - and the smalls were done with DMC floss.
