I gave this one to my cousin who wanted it for his wife, but he insisted on giving me something for it because he knew how much work went into it. So I am now the proud owner of one of those mini irons, the sort you can use inside the hoop!
Made for a friend, lots of stitches, but a pleasure to embroider !
Machine cross stitch Vermeer's Girl with a pearl ear ring waiting to be tidied up and framed.
Didn't take long for me to get bored doing nothing, so embroidery wins !
My fifth, and definitely my last, quilt ! Draped over the sofa, because it's too much for me to hold up!
A cot quilt I've made recently, one of three, but I want to do some embroidery on plain squares, instead of buying printed fabric, but I am having problems with applique, puckering on the base fabric, and this will not do for me !!
What I did today! 125 minutes stitching, 42,487 stitches, 27 colour changes ! Talk about jump in at the deep end !!
My third one. Got a couple of puckers each end of the skirt, but after 152 minutes, I won't lose any sleep over that !!
My single sized quilt finished at last ! 247 five inch blocks. Chantelle's design.
Five owl cushions so far !
OK! You've seen the three cot quilts I've made recently, here's the double size I made a year ago! Looks complicated, but it was the easiest one I made, and it now belongs to a very good friend of mine!
Number 9......
Quilt finished, except for the border,!
This lovely design is from Micnali
My third owl.
