A Couple of Small Finishes

Frogs had been visiting me lately. I frogged out a few motifs on my Quaker wips and decided to put them aside for a while. I had been working on small projects for the last week and had a couple of finishes to show.

I stitched the needlebook from BBD Loose Feather #35. Stitching was done but I have yet to finish it into a needlebook, take a peek.

I used DMC colors on some 28ct linen in my stash. I enjoyed stitching this piece, quick and fun.

I visit Mylene's blog very often. Recently, she stitched a mini SAL "Love Grows" by Oakhaven Designs (OHD). The design is so pretty, she enabled me to join the same SAL. I signed up to join the group and here is my finished piece in my favourite autumn colors. I am not sure yet how I am going to finish it, probably a pinkeep. It was stitched on 32ct Belfast and measured about 4.5" x 4".


I bought some hand-dyed fabrics from Joan of Sapphire Stitching some time ago. The fabrics come in 8" x 8" cut, good for stitching ornaments. Joan normally dyes Aida fabrics, mine was a special order in 28ct evenweave. I tried a monochrome design on this fabric and it turned out great. I love it.

This design is titled "L'ange a la flute" by Mounette. I used DMC 3857.

Now, I can go back to my Quaker samplers and monthly goals. Hope to have some progress to show soon. I am going for my free sewing lesson today, bought the Brother Sewing Machine a couple of weeks ago. More updates later.
