New Quilt off to the Quilter

I have been making hexies.... in the process of designing a new quilt.

These lovely hexies are made using a machine washable iron on fabric. They are the best invention. I will have these on the website soon. I will never go back to doing hexies the old fashioned way again.

This is my new quilt design on its way to the quilter. This is made using Folk Tale fabric by Cinderberry Stitches. This will be available in a kit form or pattern. There is applique, hexies and some embroidery in this quilt. It is a single bed size. made especially for my little girl.

Also just arrived in on Friday.. the new Flower Sugar range for 2013 Oh my gosh it is totally gorgeous!!

and a sneeky look at another quilt design I am also working on. This is made using Durham Anew fabric by Lecien and I am sooo pleased with it. It is very very pretty it has 5 stitchery blocks with the addition of a small amount of hand applique and yoyo's.

I have a Christmas Quilt almost finished... I have been very busy designing away.... the new design phase I am in at the moment has been encouraged by a lady in the fabric industry that seems to think I have a talent that needs to be put out there.... so this quilt above is going to be names after her... The name and the total picture of it is yet to come...  It must be quilted first  xx

Hugs to all and have a great day!

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

Here is my latest creation and a free ribbon embroidery design

 Ribbon Embroidered Brooch Cushion.....

The PDF is just the embroidery design. To make the cushion you just need a two pieces of square fabric approx 6" or larger... sew, stuff and you have a little cushion
