Finished "The Needlewoman" - this was a very quick stitch. Although the chart was quite poor quality, I love the design from Holbein Embroideries and I substituted the Aida for 28 count Zweigart Jazzlyn in dusky pink which I think suits the dark brown and metallic thread very well.
Also a few cards which I stitch between larger projects, so I always have something ready to send when a birthday crops up.
While out shopping today I went into a charity/thrift shop and found this lovely Candamar Sunflower kit for just 2.69 GB pounds so I just had to buy it. Don't you just love to find a bargain.?
Yes it is a bargain !! and a lovely one...your cards are nice again !!! happy evening....love Ria....
ReplyDeletethese are lovely cards, you must have a lot of patience...
ReplyDeleteOur pinkie loves the op-shops, too. She wouldn't shop anywhere else and it seems the pet store and every now and then the supermarket is the only stores she would go to...
The cards are just beautiful and we love the sunflowers. They're such cheerful flowers!
ReplyDeleteLove ya lots,
Maggie and Mitch
Wow--your new sunflower kit is lovely, Shirley. And what a bargain! I guess it is obvious from my blog that I love sunflowers, isn't it :)
ReplyDeleteHow nice of you to send your friends and family members stitched cards! I'm sure they really appreciate your work. And your Needlewoman looks very pretty in pink...
Hello Shirley!

You have been really busy with your stitched cards,the one with teddy and flowers is my favourite one.
I also stitch some smaller projects between the more bigger ones-I need to see something finished !
