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 […]
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 […]
