The End of Summer

Hello Everyone,

I really wasn´t looking for any more stitcheries to do  other than that of a festive Christmas nature but I happened upon Lesley Teare´s  Birds and Blackwork flowers SAL and also the floral Anthea SAL, both of which I would like to embroider.

So of course, I just had to start one of Lesley´s patterns and leave the Anthea SAL until next year.

I have lost interest in my unfinished kitchen curtains,, but I  dragged myself to the sewing machine one afternoon and  sluggishly worked on them until dusk, and while adding  a crochet doily to the curtains, I  thought to also add one to a bookcover with some tiny crochet flowers.

Lots of patterns and tutorials on the internet to make these tiny flowers , You can find loads at All free crochet. I love them, quick and easy to crochet and you can brighten up all sorts of embroideries by adding a few…..

I added some here years ago on this hoop holder

And here on a patchwork block for Shez

I  stitched a little pearl bead in the middle of each crochet flower

And lined the cover with fabric from stash

Well, I got sidetracked, but I have finished the curtains. Not sure what sort of tiebacks to make, err, need to think about that. 

Some end of summer beauty.

Until next time,  

Sheryl
