Busy Fingers.
I have had a busy couple of weeks which have kept me out of my sewing room, but I have managed to keep some handwork with me for those spare moments. These are some stitcheries from Natalie Bird of The Birdhouse. It is from a little booklet called All Creatures Great and Small. I am […]
Bits And Pieces.
When I saw these little slippers I couldn’t resist buying them. They only came in baby and toddler sizes. I would have loved to buy them for older children, too. I have been completing a few little stitcheries. The bird is from Teddlywinks, the tree is from Marg Low Designs and the star has completely […]
Australia Post And Tilda.
I posted my Tilda swap yesterday afternoon and was very surprised to receive an email from Christine this morning to say that it had arrived. Well done Australia Post! Christine, of MacDonald’s Patch, is my swap partner for this round. Christine’s camera doesn’t want to work so I will post my photos for the swap. […]
A Merry Banner.
I am determined to keep working on that UFO pile, especially if it is to do with Christmas. As a result I have completed my MERRY banner, which is a pre-printed pattern from Rosalie Quinlan. Rosalie had stitched this as a redwork design, but I decided to play with colours. I think the original […]
Catching Up On UFOs.
I made a bit of an effort to collect together a handful of items that needed only a small amount of work to finish them off. I have a habit of finishing the stitchery part of a project but not following up to complete it. So here are two mini hangings completed. […]
Another Block.
A busy week of sewing here but a quiet week for finishes. I have completed Block 4 of Lynette Anderson’s Fernhill BOM. This is it, minus the cute button. I have also had a few birthday cards to catch up on. I am looking forward to lunch with friends and an afternoon of stitching. […]
Stitching And Stamping Away.
We have some lovely sunshine for today so it is worth making the most of it with some time in the garden and some photo taking. We have also been having a few hiccups with phone and Internet connections, but, fingers crossed, it all seems to be working properly now. I am still working on […]
A Little Birdie Or Two.
On our recent trip I made a point of taking some stitching with me. I made sure it was something easy that could be picked up and worked on without too much fuss. These are two of the pieces from Teddlywinks. They are pre-printed stitcheries. I used a variegated Cottage Garden thread for both. Very […]
Favourite Colours – Red And White!
I have gone back to playing with my favourite combination of red and white. I received some gorgeous blocks stitched by the amazing Pauline – Quilt-n-Queen. Pauline does the most beautiful stitching. I wanted to use the blocks in a quilt and make sure they were the focal point and not have the piecing take […]
Keeping Warm.
It is a rarity to have snow in our area, but it still doesn’t stop thoughts about snowmen. There are so many lovely stitcheries around for Winter. When they are small and easy to finish like this one it is hard not to be tempted. This is a free pattern from Rustic Threads. I would […]
