Finished this lovely little spring needlecase worked in ribbon 🎀 work. The design and instructions are by Tanya of @thecommonthread1 and are super easy to follow. The book does not close fully as I think the side lacing is too tight 😳 but I know that for next time. Hope you are having fun in the sunshine 🌞My little laburnum is awash with the humm of bees 🐝 🐝🐝More progress on my little ' Step into Spring' ribbon 🎀 work needle case designed by Tanya of @thecommonthread1 . Loving the colours on this summer morning. Just got to put it all together now.Putting off writing those reports and enjoying stitching in the sunshine 🌞. This is another little ribbon 🎀 work design by Tanya of @thecommonthread1 , really love the way it comes together so quickly. ❤Blown away by this lovely package that arrived on my doorstep yesterday. Katie of @cinnamonstitches.handmade not only sent me a gorgeous 😍 pouch filled with material scraps, but also the prettiest sewing organiser in zesty oranges and lemons. Finally a little scrappy purse containing little charms. Katie even went to the trouble of making me my favourite violet 💜 cream chocolates. It was so lovely to find it waiting for me. I can't thank you enough, Katie. So very thoughtful and generous ❤❤❤ #quiltyfriendsarethebest #fpp #patchwork #sewingorganizerHad so much to do today, but instead I made another little mini quilt for #microminisal . Just love this design 😍 and wanted to see how small I could go. Tried the @berry_birdy challenge of 2inches or less, but failed! The smallest tulip is 2.25 x 1.75 inches. Sew close! Going to turn it into a brooch.Hope this counts for the #microminisal. I made two, 2.5 inch square economy blocks for the outside of this little needle book and used a micromini tulip block (3.5 x 4.5 inch) for an inside pocket. The folded needle book is 6.5 x 4.5 inches. Fun to make. Inspiration for front cover from Ayumi and chubby.Categories

Stitching in reverse…
Stitching in reverse, or unpicking! It was pointed out to me that the colours I had used on the throat of the mistle thrush drew the eye to the centre and detracted from the rest of the head. Once this … Continue reading
