Arwen's thread: March 2009
http://arwensthread.blogspot.com/2009_03_01_archive.html
Sunday, March 08, 2009. It has only been seven years in the making. And I finally thought it was done! I spoke to my friend and stitching buddy Carol this morning to check what I had graphed out for us both to use back in 2002 when we started this piece (and Carol finished hers - yay Carol! It turned out that I had already stitched past the point where we had planned to modify it. So, nothing daunted (much, anyway! The photos are clickable, as always. Subscribe to: Posts (Atom).

Monday, July 27, 2009. BBD 'A flock of birds'. This piece is from the booklet 'My heart is true' by Blackbird Designs and Nicoletta Farrauto. I am using the suggested DMC threads and gingham fabric.

Arwen's thread: So close and yet so far........
http://arwensthread.blogspot.com/2010/11/so-close-and-yet-so-far.html
Monday, November 29, 2010. So close and yet so far. Carol and I have been making cushions over the last week or so. Mine is finally finished and I am very pleased with it (so close). I have tried to buy a cushion pad for it today and cannot find anything even remotely the right size (so far) .That is very annoying! The cushion was easy and the instructions were clear, now all I need is a cushion pad. Wish me luck! Cute cushion cover, good luck finding the pillow:-). Ooo, its so pretty! The wait is over.

Monday, November 22, 2010. We wait and wait and. Little Daisy, who was born in February, continues to be the apple of everybodys' eye and has been crawling for a few weeks and has now learned to walk along whilst holding herself up on the sofa - so cute! I have managed to get in a little more stitching recently than I was a few months ago and have also invested in a new sewing machine as my old Elna decided to start playing up. I am now the proud owner of a Pfaff Grandquilter. The first photo is of a lit...

Monday, May 04, 2009. In the Forest by La D Da. Hurrah, another long-term UFO bites the dust! I finished this piece last week and have since dropped it off at the framers; I can collect it in a couple of weeks! I couldn't get the linen which was called for so I substituted the fabric and used the NPI silks suggested on the pattern It is very cute! Thanks to all who left comments about Marys birthday party.

Arwen's thread: Happy New Year!
http://arwensthread.blogspot.com/2010/01/happy-new-year.html
Monday, January 11, 2010. Happy New Year one and all, although I must say that the Christmas and New Year Holiday seems a very dim and distant memory already! I thought that you might enjoy looking at the wonderful Christmas gifts that my friend Carol made for me. Imagine my delight when I pulled this beautiful box out of the gift bag. Here are the little pillows before I opened them up - isn't that tissue paper just delightful - I LOVE crows. :-). Here is a close up of one of the pillows. Now, do post a...

Tuesday, October 19, 2010. October 2010 - Where did the time go? I can't believe that I haven't posted here since January - where has this year gone? I have revamped my blog for Halloween and hope to start posting fairly regularly agan. The photo at the top of the blog was taken on holiday and is a photo of the mountains and moorland on Jura, which is an island which is just a very short ferry ride from Islay. Anyway, time to hit the 'publish post' button and head off to bed. Subscribe to: Posts (Atom).

Tuesday, August 11, 2009. Thanks for all your comments, I have really enjoyed reading them! This is what I have been stitching on since the weekend. It is 'Borage and Bramble' from the Bramble Hearth. Leaflet by Shepherds Bush. It will be a birth sampler for my friend's grandson. I stitched the 'Blue Berry Button' sampler from the same leaflet for his older brother, so I am hoping they will like this one too! Saturday, August 08, 2009. Bloom where you are planted.

Friday, February 27, 2009. My Son - the photos. Here are the photos of my progress on 'My Son', as promised. I really don't have much more to do now, so I should have a finish to share with you before next weekend, I hope! Is the last progress picture I posted back in September 2008. This piece should really not have taken as long as it has - if I got it out and actually stitched on it more frequently it would have been finished long ago! I hope that you all enjoy your weekend too! As I have no recent ph...
