Busy, busy, busy

I have nothing new to show you so I'm showing you an old design which I don't think I've published on my blog before it is by The Drawn Thread and was a Round Robin I was in either last year or the year before I've modified it by adding the house at the top and trees.

The reason I've nothing to show is that everything I'm stitching at the moment are BIG secrets - they are either gifts or exchanges and of course I don't want to spoil the surprises so its a case of wait and see LOL!!

Thankyou, An, Barb, Carol, Dianne, Mum and Rachael

... for all the wonderful stitching that you have done on my NRR. These are just a token of my Love and Appreciation of your talent and creativity.
I LOVE my NRR I think its a beautiful piece and it will be made into a very large cushion (not to be sat on and used - but to be looked at and I know admired)

So watch out for the post man arriving in the next week or so as I wanted to stitch you each a little something to commemorate our NRR. They are wee fobs and I used the Sampler GAameboard by The Drawn Thread as my idea for the fobs.

Thankyou so much again I really do LOVE it all. - Pictures will follow in the next posting I make of my wonderful NRR so that everyone can see it.

Edited to add: I also meant to say - these are the secrets I was on about in an earlier posting that I have been busy with over the past week or so.
Hugs

Final freebie for this months challenge

For my 4th freebie finish I have chosen DT freebie, I have stitched this on 40ct linen using Soi D'Alger silk thread and Kaalund silk thread and I used the same Kaalund silk for the trim and tassels. I enjoyed stitching this very much and it was fun making it into the fob as you can see from the photo its quite small.




Thanks to everyone for all the wonderful comments you have left and for those that don't comment, thankyou so much for visiting my blog - I appreciate both comments and visits

My House exchange

Whew relief, my heart is always in my mouth when I send an exchange in the post, but I am relieved to hear from Annette that she received my house exchange to her.



I chose 12 houses by DT - I couldn't decide what house to stitch when I first thought about it, then decided 12 houses would be perfect. I finished it as a Bourse.



Instead of the alphabet which is in the centre of the design I placed a wee pin cushion and added buttons on the four corners instead of ribbons as I thought ribbons would be a wee bit too fussy for the design. Its all stitched on 32ct linen using the recommended colours.
