SEWING – Page 3 – RAINBOW HARE

I seem to have given up blogging of late and almost a month has gone by, during which time Spring has been springing. But I’m glad to say I have completed my monthly goal of adding all the TAST stitches to date into my fanTASTichia picture. Lots of these stitches are new to me and […]

Although I’ve been following along with the TAST stitches in my practice/doodle squares, I thought it would be nice to make something combining the stitches so I have started a new project. I don’t have a plan beyond including the weekly stitches so we will have to wait to see what this ends up looking […]

A Needle Cushion

Always and forever, against all advice both off and online, I have kept my needles in my pincushions. I have made needle cases and been gifted needle cases and, really, I think needle cases are a great idea. From time to time, I’ve even resolved to use them. But always I revert back because it’s […]

Textural Peeks

Happy New Year! Without going into a great deal of dull information, the past couple of months have not been so amenable to making as I would have hoped, owing mainly to some major redecoration done at great speed to be ready for Christmas guests staying. And with the happy intermission of Christmas, so it […]
