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 Fassett 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 […]
Pin Cushion Play.
Over the last two weeks I have been able to attend a class with Nicole at Sewing Connection to work on Sue Spargo style embroidery and wool work. It has been wonderful to learn about a variety of techniques when working with wool and finding out about the various threads to use for this embroidery. […]
A little Bird Told Me.
I do have a little bird, but it hasn’t really told me anything. This is a Trish Burr design that was in a Christmas issue of Inspirations magazine the Christmas before last. It is worked in single strand DMC and is only a couple of inches in size. It is worked on hanky linen. I […]
A Pretty Bouquet.
In a post before Christmas I had finished an embroidery piece. It had been in the works for over 6 months. I was able to pick it up from the framer’s this morning and am very happy with the result. A close up. The second photo is a good indication of the colours. Such a […]
Spring Flowers.
The flowers I have referred to are not the real kind. They are embroidered. This is the embroidery I have been working on for ages. It is finally completed. I wanted a photo before it is framed. It is quite tricky once there is glass in between. All the flowers are embroidered using one strand […]
Spring Bunny, Birds And Flowers.
Back again, thanks to a heads up from Mary. And sorry to anyone who tried to comment and couldn’t with the last post. There was a gremlin in the mix but thankfully my amazing computer whiz (son) fixed it. I am very grateful for that. On to all things sewing. I had shown Bertie’s Spring […]
Snow And Snow.
I have continued to work on my collection of snowies and managed to recently finish this one for May. I was then looking back through my posts and realised that I had not posted a photo for the April/Easter snowie. That’s better. I am now up to date. It has stayed quite cold here so […]
A Yarn.
It has been perfect weather for knitting – cold and wet. Staying inside where it is warm and being able to watch Wimbledon and Tour de France has helped, too. I have been able to finish this sweet little pinafore dress. It has been made with a lovely yarn from Bendigo Woollen Mills. It is […]
Bird And Possum.
A quick post for today. Bertie has kept me busy and now the final block is done. Oops. Just realised there is a button to be added. (That’s the bonus of photos – seeing mistakes or missing parts!). All the blocks are now done so I need to start all the HSTs that are used […]
Fernhill Is Finished.
It looks like everything with my blog is back in action. The previous post went up, then after a day my whole blog disappeared. Apparently my website had something that was not compatible with WordPress updates and this created an error. Thankfully all has been rectified now – thanks, Tim! After a long, long time […]
