I can reveal the blogoversary gift i stitched for Shellie now i know Royal Mail delivered it safely. I asked if there was anything she would like, a return email said fob or something stitching related, fave colour purple. Stitched 1 over 1 is the design by Mary Garry called She Who Sews. Fabric is an unknown piece of 28ct evenwave in a lilac colour and the threads/twisted cord edge are DMC.
A keen eye spotted another pair of naked scissors at the stitching club so another of the ladies will be getting a fob for her birthday soon. Fabric for this one was a small oddment from Polstitches Designs Dragon Shades range called Mellow Moments. I wanted a nice bright thread on this and chose Vicki Clayton silk in Ocean. The design again i made up after stitching the 22 stitch backstitch edge.
Sunday again and that means an update of the Tea Room SAL with Karen. I decided if we were to have a cup of tea we wouldn't be able to sit on the grass under the tree so i better stitch in the seat first LOLIt's been really cold here this weekend and we had visitors for lunch Saturday and Sunday too, but when i wasn't chatting/eating i could be found camped out by the fire and stitched quite a bit. The Christmas monthly ornament is stitched and finished so i'll take a picture of that maybe tomorrow. Still not made up the Peacock Chair or started the BP Quaker, just not in the mood for either and felt more at home with the smaller projects this weekend. I hope you all had a good weekend too.
Once again Julie, you make such beautiful gifts, Stephie x

ReplyDeleteTea Room is coming along beautifully... I really want to stitch this one as well! I suppose I need to place an order with my LNS. ;-)
I haven't started my BP Quaker as yet either... I wanted to finish a couple of wee things first... I imagine I'll get to it later in the week!
I love the photo of Mr Moe... aka Hedwig! It's just precious! Did he ever find any 'floo powder'? :-)
