Our needlework group meets in our local Anglican Church Hall and this morning Barb came in to arrange some flowers in the church. She arrived with this beautiful basket of blooms ready to place in vases and it looked so lovely I took a photo!
These beautiful gardenias are growing in the garden at the church too - can't you just smell their beautiful fragrance?
And this morning Marianne, who is recovering from shoulder surgery, bought in a couple of her finished projects - blackwork and a felt christmas decoration! Also lovely!
I have finally sewn together my crewel embroidery needlecase which I had been working on a while ago! The floral design is based on a "Roseworks" pattern which I had from ages ago! Love doing the embroidery part but not really enjoying the putting together!
And this is the inside - four packets of my favourite Piecemakers needles!
Chris bought in some of her finished projects from the Stitching on the Bay day which we held in September. She has been really busy finishing off her projects - don't they look great?
And a close up of her beautiful biscornu!
And a lovely Christmas hanging and Christmas Stocking! All beautifully stitched!
I have been blessed today to receive a beautiful package of Stitchers Angel gifts from Jeanette in Finland. They are absolutely beautiful and I thought I would share them with you. She has made me a beautiful gift bag, crocheted rose, oven mitt, and pincushion and also sent some beautiful Rose napkins and a lovely Rose hanger! How lucky am I?? Thanks so much Jeanette if you are reading this - I love them to bits!
We have both participated in Hugs & Kisses (Helen's) "Stitchers Angel" project swap (see the button on the side of my blog for more information) and I have also made some "Rose" projects for my recipient who lives on the other side of the world. I can't share the pictures with you yet because she hasn't received them yet! Jeanette - you have made my day!
Trish has made this beautifully stitched teddy bear with embroidery over most parts of its body! It really is very beautiful and would be a delight for a special little person!
And Mary Rose shared her completed and framed canvas work stitchery which she started at the Stitching on the Bay day a few weeks ago! Beautifully done Mary!
I have recently participated in a Needlebook exchange and here is the Needlebook I have posted off last week to the other side of the world. I hope the recipient likes her gift! I made a Victoria Sampler pattern which I enjoyed stitching!
Love that God blessed me with a creative gift to share! Love creating new embroidery, needlework and patchwork projects of all kinds! Passionate about my husband, my family of four fantastic children and my faith. Love where we live on the south coast! Wish I had more time to be creative!!
