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.
