Out And About.
I have been lucky enough to have recently had eight days in a row that have involved crafty things. Several days were classes and another was joining friends for a sewing day. I had a day of art journalling and another working in a crafty capacity. But two busiest days were visiting the Craft and […]
Goodbye, January.
January has flown by quickly which probably means it has been a very busy month. Hard to believe tomorrow is a new month. I have continued to enjoy my Fernhill BOM from Lynette Anderson. Block 3 is done and I am working on number 4. It is an enjoyable stitchery and I have set no […]
A Busy Week.
November has arrived with a rush. Lots of busy things to do when the weather warms up here. We are starting to have a taste of the Summer to come. Some time has been set aside for sewing in amongst all the other goings on. Block 2 of Lynette Anderson’s Fernhill has been completed. Here […]
Starting a BOM.
I had seen several posts from people who were stitching Lynette Anderson’s mystery BOM, Fernhill. The first couple of blocks looked lovely so I decided to track it down and join in. Although 7 of the 9 blocks have already arrived, I am just finishing the first block which is the centre-piece. As usual, I […]
Little Stitching Finishes.
I have been enjoying working on some of Lynette Anderson’s small projects. The first one is a pin cushion made from the pattern, Garden Pincushions. I used a Cottage Garden Perle 12 thread called Oxalis for the stitching. This went together very quickly and is finished off with the gorgeous button that came with the […]
Snowflakes.
Snowflakes in September! I shouldn’t joke about that. The way our weather is here, anything is possible, even though it is Spring. My snowflakes refer to the felt ornaments I have been making. The first group are made using a mitten shape from one of the patterns from Rachel’s Of Greenfield. I have than added […]
Lovely Kits.
At the last craft show in March I purchased several Marg Low kits. This Winter weather has given me the perfect excuse to make a start on them. This one that I have completed is Festive Trinkets. Before. And after. I haven’t added the hanging cord yet as I am debating maybe sewing a small […]
A Few Little Birds.
I have enjoyed completing this little wall hanging from a pattern by Vivian Robinson (Viv’s Creations). It is only 12 by 38 inches, so is an easy project to complete. It is called Birds On The Ladder. It uses raw edge machine applique and a little bit of hand embroidery. It is a great way […]
Two Finishes.
Just a quick visit to show two finishes before they head off to their new homes. This is the little quilt that has been made for some friends who are about to become great grandparents. The baby is due next week, so I have finished just in time. And the other finish is the blanket […]
Some Bunnies.
The final embroidery stitches have gone into the woollen blanket and the little 3D bunnies have been added. All that is left now is the backing and the satin binding. This embroidery is from one of the very early Inspirations magazines (Issue 40). I have used pure wool blanketing from Country Bumpkin and I have […]
