May Hearts And Framed Works.
We are already up to the time that our May hearts due. These are turning into a delightful collection and are a pleasure to make. All felt for this heart. Felt on fabric for this one. These are the patterns for Snow Hearts from Bunny Hill Designs and several of us are making these together. […]
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 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 […]
