Needle Book from Becky

I received today a Friends Through Threads exchange from Becky. She stitched it beautifully in my favourite colours and finished it into an Etui. Isn’t it just gorgeous?! Becky also included some fabric and a notebook.

Thank you so much Becky, it is a treasured gift and I love it!

Stumpwork Needle Book for Marie

Marie e-mailed me and let me know she received her For the Love of Needle Work exchange and she absolutely love it. This is an exchange from the Friends Through Threads blog organised by a wonderful stitching friend. I stitched a little stumpwork design from Jane Nicholas and have changed it by adding a dragonfly and finished it into a needle book. I also stitched her a personalised matching scissor fob that I think Marie will enjoy and made her some matching butterfly pins, just for fun.

Marie it was a pleasure stitching this for you and I am thrilled that you love it so much! I am glad I had the opportunity to spoil you back.

Blackbird Design Exchange for Wendy Jo

I have stitched this lovely little design and finished it in a needle book for Wendy Jo as part of a small stitching group; Friends Through Threads. I have stitched the design on 30 ct. off white Irish linen one over two. I have changed the colours to suit the finishing material of the needle book and think it turned out nicely. I have also made some butterfly pins for the needle book and a small little glass pendant for Wendy Jo.

Have a wonderfull day dear stitching friends!

Black Bird Design exchange from Marie.

I have joined a small but wonderful group of ladies that shares their love for stitching and I received this wonderful exchange from Marie (please visit her blog here to view her lovely stitching). She stitched this beautiful Black Bird Design pattern in the most gorgeous colours and finished it a floss tag with beautiful berry fabric. She also spoiled me with lots of stitching goodies; wonderful silk ribbon and two lovely patterns that I can’t wait to stitch.
