Raggedy Friends.
I am still trying to catch up and finish bits and pieces. When I sorted the last few tubs into my IKEA shelves I did find a couple more stitched items ready for just a finishing touch. There are very few tubs left to unpack now so hopefully I have found just about everything left […]
A Little Redwork.
Lots of people have been working on embroideries from A Gardener’s Journal. I am not planning on completing the whole set. Instead, I have chosen a few of the smaller ones that I thought I could put into a wall hanging. I also decided to do them as redwork. I may add just one or […]
Birds and Houses.
We have been going through one of those long computer sagas over the last 4 weeks where a variety of different things do and don’t want to work. In the end all the time and work was to no avail and it has gone in for extensive rehab. Hopefully by the end of the week […]
Gardening Angel.
Oh my gosh! Look what I found. This has to be one of the first stitcheries I did a lifetime ago. I used pictures from the Kindred Spirits book and then sewed them on to a piece of fabric to make a wall hanging. How things have changed. I still like the stitcheries but may […]

It’s Teddy Bear day with Melody over at The House On The Side Of The Hill. Visit to see the other bears and check out the pattern Melody is sharing. This is a truly well loved bear. My husband has had him since he was born, so this bear is 60 years old ( that’s […]
Spring Stitchery.
This only needed a little work to have it finished, but for some reason it disappeared off my radar. The stitching is now complete and I will take it to the framer when he returns in February. This is a pattern from Leanne Beasley at one of the workshops I attended.
Christmas Leftovers.
I need to get back on the wagon and start posting a few entries on this blog. No matter how much planning and work is done, there are always a few things that never quite get finished before Christmas. This is an embroidery from a design by Christine Book. The idea is to sew it […]
Delightful.
I had a delightful parcel arrive in my mailbox today. These gorgeous blocks were sent to me by Pauline ( Quilt n Queen ). I was the very lucky winner of her give away last month. I can’t tell you how excited I was to open the parcel and see the wonderful snowmen, reindeer and […]
A Star Mistake!
A while back I mentioned that I needed to make quite a few more red and white stars for an internal border on a quilt. I started working on a few last week and managed to make some progress with ten more. After I had pressed them I went to put them with the other […]
Snowmen Progress.
I had time to put a couple of little borders around my favourite snowmen. Then I quilted the borders with loops and stars. Tonight I will sew on the binding.
