Framed Up.
Just catching up with a few posts this weekend and will then be away from the Internet for a few more days. I was able to collect my framed embroideries a week ago. I have a wall recently painted where I would like to hang a collection of embroideries and photos. I want all the […]
Embroidery Started.
I decided I needed to get back to some “formal” embroidery and challenge myself with more than a stitchery. This is a pattern from Daaft Designs and is making me use a lot of stitches that I haven’t used for quite a while. I think progress will be slow for a while, but I am […]
A Colourful Friday Valentine.
Another fortnight has snuck by and here we are at Colourful Friday. Today we have a focus on the colours for Valentine’s Day. Please take the time to visit Robyn at Daisy Quilts to see what everyone has found for this week. I seem to have concentrated mostly on reds and pinks, and also hearts […]
Welcome.
Another one of those found goodies! Finished! I just need to decide how to use it. This is a pattern provided by Leanne Beasley at one of the Glen Harrow stitching days. I am pleased that I am making a dent in the UFO pile.
Embroidered Hearts.
Over the past few weeks it has been a hive of activity in our house. We have been busy painting two bedrooms, cleaning carpets, decorating and setting up furniture. In the process I have managed to sort through a few storage boxes that have been waiting for over 3 years since we moved in. It […]
Needle-case.
This is a little needle case I made from a pattern by Mum’s Moments. Just the right amount of applique and embroidery. As I have been sorting through a few things I found that I had tucked this aside. Now it is back in use.
Delightful.
I had a delightful parcel arrive in my mailbox today. These gorgeous blocks were sent to me by Pauline ( Quilt n Queen ). I was the very lucky winner of her give away last month. I can’t tell you how excited I was to open the parcel and see the wonderful snowmen, reindeer and […]
Planning For The Week Ahead.
Lots of preparation needs to be done this week for a variety of projects to be started or continued. I have reached the point with my Butterfly Garden blocks, (Leanne’s House), where all the embroidery is done but not the applique. I did start off by doing both the embroidery and the needleturn on each […]
Blanket Embroidery.
When I started to learn embroidery one of the things I enjoyed doing was working with wool. I started with a blanket from Lee Lockheed‘s book, Wool Embroidery and Design. It has a central heart. And embroidery in each corner. I backed the blanket with a good quality quilting fabric and then bound it with […]
Embroidered Gardens.
I started to learn embroidery about 18 years ago. I had done basic cross stitch, but had never learnt any embroidery stitches. I completed these gardens with the help of my embroidery teacher, Vicki. They are both from a Diana Lampe book, Embroidered Garden Flowers. The first one is the Spring Garden. The next is […]
