Baby Embroidered Woollen Blanket

I embroidered this a little while ago.

This is one type of embroidery that I love doing.

I came up with this design, as I embroidered. It was inspired by a blanket I saw in an embroidery magazine.

The blanket is made with 100% pure wool fabric and the backing is a very soft minky. This is a blanket that I will always treasure and probably use when my grandchildren come to visit in the future.

Hi all, I have been a little quite lately

Ive had a bit on with organising my website.... we are on the final leg of this now so it shouldn't be long before we are up and running.

The above photo is a sneak peak and another design I have been working on.

More to come on these cute Babushka dolls

Lovely Michelle from It's Sew Me lovingly stitched these up for me for the front page of the pattern.

They were a trial to see how they looked.

When I opened the package and saw them I was so thrilled with how fantastic they looked.

Thank you Michelle for a job well done... I am just so excited with how they turned out!!

I am in the Santa Sack Swap this year. My partner is Michell from Michell's Place

I made this bag from a whole piece of fabric. It is a cylinder. Inside is the two gifts I sent off with the sack. I enjoyed making the sack and the gifts also. This is a very fun swap indeed!

Below are some photos of the doll kits I will have on my website.

All my favourite's with more to come.

I LOVE this santa!

I have other things I have been working on but just haven't taken the photos as yet.

I hope you have all been busy creating yourself..

Mannequin Stitchery

In one of my last posts I had this picture in the background

Some of you were intrigued to know what it was.

It is a design I will be bringing out when my website opens up.

I will have a series of these.

They are mounted on a canvas frame. I great way to display your work. I will have the instructions on how to do this with the stitchery pattern.

I have stitched bullions on this mannequin. The beauty of these designs is that you can do ribbon embroidery, back stitch or bullion stitch for the roses. Instructions on how to do this will also be in the pattern.

I have been busy drawing ideas... some of the ideas I have come up with are more mannequins, houses, Little Wheaties.. such sweeties they are (more on this later), pincushions, owls and others. 

I am looking forward to seeing the Colour Swap gifts.. some should be arriving at the destinations very soon.

Have a great day

Bullion Roses

Lots of bullion roses on a handknitted blanket.

Back in Januray this year I was asked if I would do ALOT of bullion roses on to a blanket for a little baby that was due to come into the world.

I was slightly reluctant. When I saw how many I had to do I was even more reluctant. I cannot remember now how many I ended up doing but I did manage to finish it.

This is the photo of just some of them.. taken on my cellphone camera...so not a great photo. The edge of the blanket was a knitted lace... it really was beautiful.

I just thought I would share this little commission I completed.

This afternoon's creation

I just had to post a picture of the stitchery I did this afternoon... embroidery is my forte'. I love embroidery..I have been stitching since I was about 10 years old.

The inspiration for this stichery came from a candleholder that my daughter bought for me. I have drawn many many of these types of designs.. which I am going to something with.. This is the first one.

I have done hundreds and hundreds of bullion stitches in the last 14 years. I have sold babywear with my own bullion designs on them.. I havnt done this in a while though. I just love to do freehand embroidery. I put the roses and the leaves where I think they should go as Im stitching away.

I will now make this into either the picture on the canvas or a pillow..

So thats me for today... Im on a roll now.. lets see what I come up with over the weekend hehehe ...

Take care

Lisa
