Pictures at last!

Here are a few pictures of my latest projects

A kantha stitch e-reader case

 Hand stitched and hand quilted using traditional stitch and design and mounted on a panel to make a useful e-reader cover

This next piece was made following Lola Jenkins Thread Art Class on Craftsy which gives great step by step instructions for completing coloured designs on fabric.  I was really pleased with the way this one came out and have just taken it to the framer to get it mounted up.

Summer Picnic is a piece I made last year and then forgot all about until I discovered it again in my folder when looking for something else!  When I rediscovered it I actually found I liked it more than when I first completed it (which is why I had put it away in the first place)

No pics to post

I have no pics to post today, but needed to drop in to say a few words!!!!  Been busy doing lots of new stuff - even got into bangles courtesy of Artsy Bangles from Christy Tomlinson @ Scarlet Lime.  Great class with lots of ideas and lots of new bangles - guess what everyone is getting for Christmas?

Also taking Lola Jenkins Craftsy class "Thread Art" which is great too. This has been a revelation and I can't believe I have almost finished my first piece and it is looking good so far.  Pics to follow as soon as I get organised.

So busy doing lots of catch up - I decided to take all my UFOs and do something with them.  Not sure quite what with some of them, but managed to get a couple of things finished already and I am trying to get one done every week to clear the box by at least a half. 

Took a class with RTuby Porter last week doing Kantha stitch which I really enjoyed - this was so relaxing and has got me back into doing some hand stitching.  I had forgotten how therapeutic this is......

All this and trying to make a few Christmas gifts and decorations - how do I find time to go to work too?  Not long now until I finish work and join the ranks of the retired folk!!! Then I will have lots more stitching time.
