Welcome
I was recently given a wee kit by a friend who was de-stashing, and she is not really a needle woman.
The kit contained the pattern and fabric for a needle case and pin cushion, and as I thought the pattern was rather pretty, I decided to make it up sooner rather than later...

Here is a close- up of the design, which IRL is 6 x 6cm, and has slightly stronger colours - the sunshine made them look a bit lighter ...

The pin cushion measures 8cm square,

the needle case 8cm x 9cm

The insert is in the linen that the kit came stamped on - I prefer to use a woollen felt..

Part of the reason I stitched it up is that is was something I could get finished in time for our local Embroiderer's Guild 40th Anniversary, and Regional, Exhibition.

So pretty Maxine. Your embroidery is wonderful.

Your stitching is beautiful! It's been a long time since I did stitching. It all got put aside when I discovered card making.
ReplyDeleteThese are both lovely Maxine, beautifully stitched - so delicate and pretty.

ReplyDeleteThis is so pretty. A pretty pair of sewing items that can be used but that I would just keep as decorative. Almost too pretty to use. Well done on something so different from the usual.
