Wonderful day at a cross stitch exhibition in the Dordogne!
Hi everyone, I attended my first Salon de la creation a'laguille in Dordogne France on Monday and what a wonderful day we had, I have taken some photos to show you the beautiful cross stitch on display and purchased a few items.
We packed up the motorhome ready for our long journey but it was a lovely sunny day and we saw beautiful scenery along the way.

Sew Pretty Mattress Pincushion and another project
Hi everyone, remember the free pattern I posted here on my blog a couple of weeks ago, well here is the design finished into a mattress pincushion, I decided to change the design slightly by adding more flowers, you can download both versions of the pattern here from my blog.
Stitching news
The mattress pincushion was stitched on 28 count Permin antique white linen, it is quite a stiff fabric which ensures such a crisp looking finish to the edges of a mattress pincushion, it is probably the best fabric I have used for this type of finishing.
Edited: Link to my mattress pincushion tutorial. It is not showing this actual pin cushion but it shows the same process for each one.
I have made a Needlebook to match, you can see it in this post here.
The pattern for the Needlebook is available on this page here…
The pattern for the Mattress Pin Cushion is available here on this page
Have you seen the Stitch for Syria Campaign that is running at the moment?
It is a campaign designed to help the women of Syria learn embroidery, stitchers volunteer to stitch a particular design, the pattern is sent once you sign up for the project, you then send your completed squares and they will be made up into a special piece of artwork.
The square on the top right was stitched using silk thread, sorry I don't have the colour it was just a random piece of thread I had left over, the other two squares are stitched using dmc variegated thread, I particularly liked the one at the front.
Variegated thread 1345 (front square) appears not to be available anymore unless they changed the colour.
Until next time ......
Happy stitching!
