Scissor fob and stitching update.

Hi everyone, apologies for my lack of blogging as I have been away for a week, I am back now after doing lots of stitching! Here is a scissor fob that I completed s number of weeks ago, it is stitched on 25 count dublin lugana linen using DMC threads and Mill Hill beads.

The little square pattern is taken from a pattern that was in The Gift of Stitching Magazine August 2007 - My Little Book Of Stitches By Debbie Draper Designs.

I have also finished my first Christmas Ornament, started my first Heaven and Earth Design and completed some Valentine stitching.

Miniature Mattress Pincushion - Freebie Pattern

I have finished the Mattress Pincushion, isn't it cute!

It measures 8cm x 5.5cm, I stitched it on 25 count Dublin Lugana Linen 1 over 1 using DMC 115 variegated thread.

The pattern is a freebie from Mon Ami Pierre.

Happy stitching everyone.
