Three Trees.
Another bundle of tiny cushions has been completed and this time they come in threes. The design itself, from Marg Low, has three trees. And then I made three cushions and played with each of the designs. The first one was done with hand embroidery. The second was with fabric stitched on by machine. And […]
Too Early For Easter?
It is probably not too early to be planning for Easter, although, like many, I am always surprised at seeing hot cross buns in the supermarkets the day after Christmas. I have finished a little Easter mini from Anni Downs. The stitching was done last year but I had not added the borders and done […]
Animals Everywhere.
I am still not sure about what is working with my blog and what is not, but here I go regardless. Today’s theme appears to be animals – purely by accident. First up, Michelle’s lovely patterns have been turned into a cushion. It was going to be a banner but I liked this better. I […]
A Pretty Bouquet.
In a post before Christmas I had finished an embroidery piece. It had been in the works for over 6 months. I was able to pick it up from the framer’s this morning and am very happy with the result. A close up. The second photo is a good indication of the colours. Such a […]
Keeping On Finishing.
Having the time to quilt some flimsies is a wonderful thing. I have completed another quilt that has been waiting patiently for a few months. It is a very simple design but it works so well with these lovely fabrics. I added a background fabric that is cream on white design. Quilting stayed simple – […]
Starting A Happy New Year.
Happy New Year. It is always good to start with a holiday! The Christmas/New Year break has been relatively quiet so I have been able to get back into some sewing. As is often the case, I had some Christmas UFOs to complete. So I got down to quilting and binding. A finish!! I cut […]
Small Finishes.
In the middle of all that is busy at Christmas, I have been able to achieve a couple of small finishes. This is another of Marg Low’s lovely felt ornaments. I always want to make several of each of these. Maybe if all is quiet after Christmas. I have finished stitching some of Michelle Ridgway’s […]
Busy Chrissy The 2nd.
Apologies to those who have received this post already. I am re-posting it to see if I can sort out some glitches from Tuesday. Cheers, Karen. I always find there is one week in the lead up to Christmas that is busier than all the others. Lots of deadlines to meet and functions to attend. […]
Busy Chrissy.
I always find there is one week in the lead up to Christmas that is busier than all the others. Lots of deadlines to meet and functions to attend. This is the crazy week for me. Three Christmas parties down and three more to go this week. All the cards and parcels that need to […]
Spring Flowers.
The flowers I have referred to are not the real kind. They are embroidered. This is the embroidery I have been working on for ages. It is finally completed. I wanted a photo before it is framed. It is quite tricky once there is glass in between. All the flowers are embroidered using one strand […]
