When I saw the pattern for Stanley in an old Cath Kidston catalogue I just had to make one for my collection of doggy memorabilia. I was so pleased with him that I made another for the raffle at our dog club. I changed him a little to make him more like an Airdale Terrier as I think Stanley is a Lakeland which looks the same but smaller. The pattern was available free to download on CK's website the last time I looked if anyone is interested in making their own.
I have also finished my Jan Constantine Love Britannia design this week and will probably make it up into a cushion. We saw a range of her cushions in a department store yesterday and this design was 75 GB pounds! so I have saved quite a lot of money by doing-it-myself.
Here are two more finishes. The first is Stitcher's Showcase 2010 Stitch Along, Bouquet for Cheryl which I stitched in Caron Wildflowers 'Night Sky' variegated thread on blue linen and Stitcher's Showcase Spring Exchange, 'Spring Daffodils' which is now with its new owner in the U.S.

ReplyDeleteI saw a dog that looked just like your Archie in the back of a truck yesterday, Shirley, and thought of you. I'd never seen one in real life before--they are quite big!
ReplyDeletePerhaps you should make another Britannia pillow and sell it to finance your crafts :) It is lovely as are all of your other projects!
What a cute litte dog. You have been busy stitching. They are all gorgeous. I haven't touched my Bouquet for Cheryl for 2 months.
