Stitcheries.

Hi everyone, here are the photos of my latest work in progress stitcheries, I have now completed them both, you can see the completed photos below.

These stitcheries are freebies from Bronwyn Hayes Red Brolly designs here, she designs some gorgeous quilts, stitcheries and bags, pop over to her blog here, you won't be disappointed!   

I love doing these stitcheries as they are really quick to finish and ever so effective.  

I have also just finished stitching this needlebook design, again this is a freebie from Bronwyns blog.

This is stitched using one strand of thread. 

I still have lots of finishing to do, in particular the Peacock Box that I started a while ago. I have also trimmed the red Elephantz design in the red  check fabric, I will show photos in my next post,  all I need to do is frame it now, it does look really cute.

Here are the other photos of the stitcheries.

   

Completed design ready for framing, or I may put this into a mini quilt?

This is the free Christmas design before I finished the satin stitch.

The finished design.

Thankyou for all of your lovely comments and a huge welcome to all of my new followers.

Until next time - Happy Stitching!



Elephantz stitchery- so cute!

Hi everyone, after winning Jenny's giveaway last week I was inspired to stitch one of her gorgeous designs, I only started stitching this last night and I finished it this morning!

Jenny designs some lovely stitcheries, you can see her blog here and you can purchase Jenny's designs in her shop here, although she does have some freebies on her blog. 

I have taken a few more photos below so that you can see the design close up. I had this fabric in my stash so I think this is the one I will use to finish it off before I frame it.   

Not sure about the fabric colour, it may be a little too bright against the deeper red?   

Mmmm, I will think about it.

I am going to check out my other patterns that Jenny has designed, they are all so pretty!

Thanks for the lovely comments on my blog and welcome to all of my new followers.

Until next time - Happy Stitching!  



Yes I am still here!

Hi everyone, sorry I have not been blogging for a while, I have been way too busy, I have not had chance to do any stitching or blog reading but I did have a chance to put my name in the hat for a giveaway over on one of my favourite quilt blogs.

 Jenny from Elephantz blog was giving away this gorgeous stitched picture, I could not resist entering and hoping that I would be the lucky lady. 

I could not believe my eyes when I saw an email from Jenny saying I had won this gorgeous framed picture!    

Now if you want to see some gorgeous stitching then just pop along to Jenny's blog here , you will be so glad you did because she is a very talented stitcher and quilter. Jenny also has a little shop selling her patterns and stitched gifts and everything she sells is beautiful!

Thankyou so much Jenny, I will treasure it always!

Here are lots of pictures, check out the gorgeous fabric and lacy card Jenny sent me too! 

Thanks Jenny for making my day!

Happy stitching everyone, I hope I can get some stitching done soon!

Hi everyone, just to let you know I am still here!

Thankyou so much for all of your wonderful comments on the Cross Stitch book giveaway, sorry I could not reply to you but I am very busy at the moment and I do not have much time for stitching or blogging. You can still enter my cross stitch book giveaway in the previous couple of posts,

I will be back tomorrow evening to post the winner of the book.

Here is a little cross stitch freebie you may be interested in, it is similar to one I have done before but you know how I love my afternoon teas!
