BOXES

This month I have photos of boxes to share from a recent workshop at the Coromandel Guild, first is Ann's box, don't you love how the fabric works out perfectly for her box.

Also attended the workshop, here is her box, she had embroidered all the pieces for it.

Photos to share

First is Ann's lovely piece from this months newsletter. I thought you would enjoy seeing it in a larger photo.

and Heather has sent photos of boxes she has been making here is the first one.

 

The hexagonal box was  Jane van Kuelins class at  The Great escape. I changed the fabric colour as the pale green spotty fabric did not compliment the colours in the embroidery. Mostly  chain stitch, stem stitch satin stitch and seed stitch. A very enjoyable class. Kits available from Jane. With 5 variegated threads and embellishments included.

 

 I have more photos of Heather's work but will post them later

ANN'S CHRISTMAS 2015

These photos are of the Christmas decorations I made for our  grandchildren this year. Just thought I would share them before I post some of them away.

Wishing you all a Very Happy Christmas and I look forward to another year of the friendship we share.
With love

ANN's SWEET BAG

Small decorative bags or purses appeared in the later 16th & 17th century household inventories often listed as Sweet bags.....................

 

I have finally stitched this Sweet Bag. I have had the pattern, fabric and threads for ....

several years.... There it such a lot of stitching in it, I'm very pleased with the result.
