Homespun Elegance Making My Heart Happy
unknown fabric
DMC
Birthday gift for Julie.
You may remember that I stitched this for Karan's birthday but I just love the sentiment of it. I am very happy to say that Julie loved it. Happy Birthday my dear friend.
I've had a couple of finishes since my last post. I wasn't far off finishing my July ornament so here it is. Not made up yet I'm afraid.
Blackbird Designs Christmas Ornament 2004 ( from the JCS ornament mag 2004)
32 count fabric
GAST and DMC.
Started 17th July 2012
Finished 26th July 2012.
I haven't decided on my ornament for this month yet. I have two short listed!
My other finish is this cutie. Not made up yet but I might get around to it today.
Shepherd's Bush Snowman Treat Bag ( kit kindly gifted to me by Shirlee )
Started 16th July 2012
Finished 23rd July 2012
I had a new start. Photo does not do the fabric or threads justice. It is Birds of a Feather Sally Spencer Sampler.
I've sort of been concentrating on Just Nan Floral Fifteen and have almost got the first 5 parts completed. I love the colours.
Finally a while ago I admired Lainey's finish of BBD Willow House. I've loved this piece for a while now and she kindly offered to send me the chart and here it is :) Thank you so much Lainey {{{{hugs}}}} I'll be passing this on once I've stitched it.
Barb and I are thinking of having a break from our Shepherd's Bush Monday SAL and picking another designers to stitch for a while. We haven't decided as yet so watch this space!
Need to get to the PO as Barb and I are having a private SB stitched piece exchange and we are posting out today :)
I must apologise for not having commented on many blogs recently. My reader had nearly 200 new posts in it yesterday so I'm afraid I had to mark them all as read and I will start again.
Better go and get to the PO!
With much love
Sally
