Stockings.
The stockings are nearly complete. Only the cuffs to go on. I have to wait a little for those as a friend is machine embroidering the names for me on to the cuffs. I have also been hard at work making another ribbon tree, same as the first. There has a been a little tweaking. […]
Stitching Away.
No finishes, but some steady progress on a couple of projects. The ribbon trees are coming along quite well. After trialling a few fabrics I went back to basics and used a natural coloured linen for the background. The perle embroidery thread shows up well on this. I have finished the first one and now […]
Ribbons And Trees.
I have to admit that I am often easily distracted. Showing me something new with sewing is like waving a toy around in front of a child. I always want to try it out. I had been playing with ribbons to decorate trees on Christmas cards. I remembered seeing small wall hangings made with ribbons […]
A Snowman Quilt Top.
At the very end of last year I was extremely lucky to win some beautifully embroidered blocks. They are a collection of snowmen, reindeer and Christmas trees. The beautiful stitching was done by Pauline of Quilt n Queen. Pauline does the most amazing stitching. She generously had a give away last year of eight of […]
A Tree With A Twist.
Over the last two weeks I have been able to attend a class to make this special Christmas tree. It is constructed in similar fashion to an Etui box. So it starts off looking like this. Then the little cap comes off allowing the sides to open and reveal the centre. The little box in […]
Do I Have A Parliament?
I know the collective name for a group of owls is a parliament, so I am wondering if my little group of 3 is considered a parliament. After making the one owl I posted about earlier I have continued to sew with felt to make several others. I think they always look good when they […]
Little Stitches.
Lovely to be back. I really missed being able to check in on all that has been happening. Really disappointed with the lack of service from Telstra – phone still not sorted out after 11 days! I have been making the most of my time with quilts and embroideries. I decided to get on the […]
Christmas Trio.
I like the idea of trying to do Christmas projects early in the year so there isn’t a mad rush at the end. But, like many others, this plan does not always work. This little embroidery was started last year but never quite made it in time for December 25. So if I finish it […]
Christmas Leftovers.
I need to get back on the wagon and start posting a few entries on this blog. No matter how much planning and work is done, there are always a few things that never quite get finished before Christmas. This is an embroidery from a design by Christine Book. The idea is to sew it […]
Sleepy Santa.
After all the hard work of delivering presents around the world, Santa needs to put on his PJs and get ready for bed. He has his favourite teddy. And he wears his comfy slippers. Thank you, Santa, for all your hard work!
