I have been stitching

Hello my friends.

It has been awhile but

I have been stitching. Some has been gifts.

This one is the `Circle of Friends` kit.

I stitched it for my friend Katrina but has become a belated birthday gift,

which she received from me yesterday. 

I also put in this lovely pattern of Lynette Anderson`s

for Katrina to make.

`Mushroom Corner` 

A trifold mini organiser pattern. 

This is the back of the thread board.

I used felt and wool stuffing so her needles can be 

place here while using with a project.

The rings are to hold floss.

My start as I have joined in with a SAL to do 

`Sarah Braizear 1829` sampler.

I am working on Lambswool 35 count linen,

with DMC threads.

A helpful book mark to help with each page.

A little more progress.

As the fabric is 36 " piece. Design area 27.06 " x 26.78" so quite large.

 I have ordered E-Z stitch rods

Waiting for them to come.:)

I do not want to damage my satin stitch.

These next three blocks are for 

`Whimsical Woodland` mystery quilt by

The Country Yard.

I stitched whipped chain for umbrella handles,

Satin stitch,french and colonial knots plus back stitch.

Threads are Cottage Garden `Golden Gully` 

and Aurifil Thread -colour 2230 - Ne 12

Some more to show but will make that another post.

Happy Stitching,

Clare.
