An Animal Day.
All the photos of projects in this post have animals. Not planned that way and I didn’t realise until I was preparing the photos. First up are the Little Penguins from a McKenna Ryan block. I am back to working on these blocks. I think there are 3 more to go. I am being very […]
Woolly Finishes.
I have been catching up on recent workshop projects and have managed two finishes. These are from a day spent with Gail Pan and Bonnie Sullivan. The finishes are the patterns from Bonnie (All Through the Night). The first one is the sewing case. It came with a pre-printed background and the applique is wool. […]
Making Progress.
Bits and pieces are coming together so it is good to see progress being made. The first bit of progress is with the blog itself. Several times I have tried to add a subscribe button on the side but because my site is a mix of blog and web page it just didn’t want to […]
Brrrr ……. And Some Stitches.
Yes, it’s cold here. The heater is working overtime. I think Winter is telling us it is not quite ready to go away. I have used my time inside productively to complete the last stitcheries in this set for All Creatures Great and Small from Natalie Bird. Unfortunately I think the book is no longer […]

Planning For Christmas.
I take a long time to get some embroideries completed. Especially when they are put aside when other projects take priority. So on that basis I am always pleased when I can achieve a finish. This is a Trish Burr design and was in Inspirations magazine, Issue 92. It is mostly stitched with DMC threads, […]
Woolly Zip Bag.
Yay! A woolly finish!. I have completed the wool embroidery, stitched it all up and made a thread carry bag. Each side is different. I have used a Kaffe FassettĀ stripe for the binding and handles. A small piece of braid covers the join between front and back. When it is open there are four […]
