I have nearly managed to finish my gingerbread candle mats, just a little more binding to sew down on one of them... I remembered I had these lovely little candles in the cupboard and thought they would look gorgeous for a pic.. I have had them for about 30 years, just so cute I think..
My progress on Rosalie Quinlan's new stitchery..
I also took my Christmas Wreath to be framed. It will be ready next week and should look fabulous. I was going to gift it but after the cost of framing I think I will be keeping it for myself. Then I will just need to find a place for it?
Here is a pic of the stitching for my Down in the garden block 3. I haven't pieced it together yet but it is all stitched..
This morning while I was downloading my photos the 'parcel postie' arrived with a wonderful package from the lovely Carine from Belgium! We have been exchanging patterns and emails for a little while, and she sent me these treasures and some patterns to keep me busy....

| A lovely heart and pin cushion. I love the little girl and the terrier picture, just perfect! |

| Here is a close up with my crooked finger in it for size reference. These little owls are just adorable. It will make a wonderful addition to my pincushions. Thanks so much Carine!!!
there we go, I think I am all caught up with show and tell of what's been happening here.
Hope you have a great week!
Happy stitching.

ReplyDeleteThose gingerbread candles are so sweet and go very well with your lovely candle mats. Shall I pop them down for '1 Xmas Item'?

ReplyDeleteGosh Marina, such beautiful work, the gingerbread candle mats and the candles are wonderful. So much loveliness in this post.
ReplyDeleteYour stitching is just amazing, I love the Rosalie Quinlan's stitchery. I think a few hours stitching at the Gun Club sounds noisy but perfect, hope they bought you a cuppa tea.
ReplyDeleteI admire other people's stitcheries as I'm too impatient to do them myself. Love your Down in the garden block.
ReplyDeleteAdore the owl pincushion Carine sent you and would love to know how she assembled those dear little owls. Love the details with the wings etc.
