My first three blackwork (OK red this time) Christmas baubles. Own design.
This is the last of my rugs for my dolls house. This is a cross stitch design. It took 6 hours to sew. 131653 stitches! (This includes the fringes) This is the biggest rug I have made and will go in the dining room.
I took a picture my three and a half year granddaughter made, digitised it and laminated it. The result a very personal placemat! Fantastic Christmas presents I think.
This is a design from embroidery library. Stitched out beautifully! Just wished I had used wash away stabiliser. It took me longer to get the tear away stabiliser out than the stitching!
Made this rug for the servants quarter in my dolls house.
First Christmas present! Ever since we got married and had a hedgehog and an armadillo on our wedding invitation I have been giving my husband something to do with hedgehogs or armadillos. (I can assure you after 29 years of marriage it is getting very ha
More blackwork test outs these are made into a dirty linen bag.
I have at last managed to complete some projects! Here are the placemats I made from the bug blackwork test outs.
Height chart 2. This one is for my grand daughter who is totally into pink and princesses. Design is from Nicole's design. The butterflies and flowers are freehand embroidery
Here are the next 4 of my own designed blackwork bugs. The fun is over the hard work of making it into placemats has to start!
Blackwork I have been doing a digitising course on line with Carol Undy This is the result! When I have done at least 6 I will be making them into placemats.
When walking in warm weather I never have anywhere to put my items for the dog. (Lead, poo bags, treats, balls, wet wipes etc.)so I thought I would make a dog walking bag. Lots of separate pockets! Design from embroidery library (Looks a bit like Risky)
I needed a new backpack and decided to have a go myself. Initially I thought it would be too small but I was pleasantly surprised at the space it gave me. Enough for all the thing I need for my holidays. designs from embroidery library
This pattern came from Nicole's designs. Lots of colour changes but I am pleased with the result. it was quite a task to get all separate designs to line up. (Ok I admit there is one cheat in it!)
Mother with child Another stained window work. This is like an applique design with the use of a quarter inch biased tape. The border is machine embroidered. (Design from embroidery library) The fun is here to find the right fabrics.
