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 […]
Bears, Possums And Flowers.
This really is gong to be an all sorts post for today. It has been an enjoyably busy time time with several workshops and little travel squeezed in as well. We spent a few days in the Bendigo and Maldon region last week. We managed to dodge the windy days and had several delightful sunny […]
