Through the year there's always a few finishes that I can't show as they were going to be gifts, but now - at Christmas - all is revealed, and here they are:
First this is a small plant sign that I made for my dear friend Colly. She and hubby Richard both love their garden, so I thought it was apt. Finished 2nd Feb 2011
Pic to come
Then this is my offering for this years Stitch Factor. It's first part of a triptych by Derwentwater - it's called Mountain Pines. Finished 31st May 2011
Then comes an ornie that I stitched for my friend Maria - who I partnered for in the Advent exchange - it was a gift on one of the last days before Christmas. Finished 5th Aug 2011
Here is my small Christmas gift for Colly this year - it's a needle book - the design featured in Gift of Stitching. Finished 5th Aug 2011.
This piece is called Make a wish and was stitched for a very good friends baby quilt - a quilt put together by all sorts that friends have made using all sorts of crafts. It was actually a cover kit originally. Finished 4th November 2011.
This final piece is called Christmas Butterfly and was my offering for this year's Christmas ornie exchange on ACN. It was a fun, different, but very hard piece to stitch. It's a 3D piece with a clip, so each wing had to be stitched twice and was stitched on plastic canvas with metallic thread - phew! Got there in the end though and it looks bloomin' brilliant I think. Finished 2nd December 2011.
