patterns

I have been playing around with different combination of stitches and counts.

                       

                   

so far I am happy with the patterns.

Happy stitching!

blackwork

I love pincushions/needle books so I often end up designing/teaching these accessories.

I've been designing and stitching small blackwork motifs for the past few months.  

               

                         

These motifs are stitched on 14ct aida with anchor floss.

Happy stitching!

counting again....

I've been counting a lot these days...

added some violets to the mystery cross stitch project...Technically it's no more a mystery..                                   

finished a couple of borders too..                                         

Orange/brown color scheme is not my cup of tea...but I think I'll end up liking it after this one                                         

Happy stitching!

Doily-Aura

I’d like to show y’all this small doily-Aura

                                                      

It was quite a challenge because I had to develop a design to fit this size of the fabric and I think it’s turned out well…

Have a great weekend!

Happy stitching!

Eye glass case

Hi !

I've finished this eye-glass case for my mother (a surprise gift) yesterday.

                                                  

I've been stitching this for 5-10 minutes every day for almost a month now, finished the construction yesterday .My mother was so happy to receive a surprise gift and she liked the neutral color combo J

Have a happy weekend!

Finished another project

Hi !

I’d like to share another project which was a slow WIP. It’s a long runner which was stitched by me and my mother. My mother had stitched the center part and I did the border around the central panel and the fringes.

                                  

To complete those fringes took a very long time than I’d anticipated because I’d had to count, remove threads and gather them to make a fringe. I’m very happy that I’ve finished it now J.

I guess to fall sick has some advantages too..I’m completing projects rather than starting or planning new ones ..

Have a happy weekend!

Happy stitching!

Anita.
