Yarn, Thread And Paper.
I have had my head down working on getting some quilting done. Also working on the the bindings. In between I have been playing with extremely varied projects. I finished off a Midori type travel notebook that I had started in book making class. The cover is canvas that has been painted, stitched and decorated. […]
Cards, Snowies And RAK.
A quiet week of settling back into a routine. And a little bit of productivity. Planning ahead for some birthdays so a few cards are needed. Also getting back to some stitchery. I have a year of these snowies to work on. Here are January and February. I was the very lucky recipient of a […]
Framed.
I was delighted to be able to pick up my framed embroidery. Very happy with the framing. It’s a bit tricky to photograph an embroidery behind glass, but this gives you the general idea. I have managed to finish 2 of the 5 sets of bunting. The other 3 are all stitched and trimmed up, […]
A Sheep Or Three.
This is the last bit of show and tell from the baby collection. As well as a quilt, I make each grand baby an embroidered woollen blanket. This time I made one based on the nursery rhyme, Baa Baa Black Sheep. The design comes from an early copy of Inspirations magazine. The sheep are made […]
Finally A Finish!
This one has been a long time coming. I think I have been working on this Jacobean embroidery for over two years. It was constantly being put aside for other priorities and only getting worked on in dribs and drabs. I have finally managed to work on it for a month or so now and […]
Happy Easter
We are fortunate to have a four day weekend for Easter. This gives many people the chance to get away for one last holiday while the weather is still warm. Our choice is to stay home and be off the busy roads because we can go away at any time. As a result, I like […]
Marvellous March.
I can’t believe how quickly the leaves are starting to change colour now that March is well under way. Even when we are still having warm days – tomorrow is forecast to be over 30c. And that Easter Bunny is just around the corner, too. I had started this Easter stitchery last year, but, as […]
Playing Catch Up With Christmas.
As always at this time of year, Christmas is coming far too quickly. It is hard to stay in front. But a lovely parcel arrived last week to improve the situation. It turns out Cheryll of Gone Stitchin is my final FHFS partner for 2014 and look at this lovely sight. How lucky am I? […]
Little Steps.
It still seems to be very busy here, but progress on some projects is being made in little steps I have finished the little stitcheries from a FigNBerry pattern. They will have to wait for a little while to be made into a quilt, but I have enjoyed having a portable project to work on. […]
August.
I had a very lovely lady notice that I hadn’t been posting anything on my blog for quite a while, and she was checking to see if everything was alright. What a sweetie. So here I am, just scraping in for an August post. Sewing time has been extremely limited as most days have been […]
