Hello Everyone,
Our theme for April is Blue which is a favourite color of mine and I have stitched loads of things with this colour, so here are just a few of them.
I was gifted this pattern by Irmeli. it´s a design by V. Enginger found in the magazine Fil en Aiguille of 2009 and I used it to make this little zipper bag to hold tights and stockings etc.
I completed a hanging scissor holder with this tiny design found in a magazine..
Another design found in a magazine decorates my old kitchen clock.
Round six of Mabel Figworthy´s Round in Circles Hardanger Sal, included some interesting new stitches for me, Eyelash stitch in the centre of the design, Ribbed spiders webs and Y-bars, and then I added lots of beads and lace to make a blue pouch.
Delicate Essentials Hardanger needlebook design by Mary Hickmott, a beautiful pattern which I loved doing.
Medieval bookmark gifted to a friend.
I´ve seen this pattern many times and used it to complete a little thread holder but have no reference as to where I found it
A folder I covered to hold trims which has very little blue embroidery, just a few blobs of color here and there and the rest is mainly white embroidery, beads or lace.
And lastly a small blanket that I made for my grandson when he was tiny, lots of different applique animals.
Thank you for stopping by and looking.
Sheryl
